# Niltalk

Niltalk is a web based disposable chat server. It allows users to create

password protected disposable, ephemeral chatrooms and invite peers to chat rooms. Rooms can

be disposed of at any time.

## Installation

Niltalk supports in-memory / file / Redis as the backend for persisting room and session states.

### Manual

- Download the [latest release](https://github.com/knadh/niltalk/releases) for your platform and extract the binary.

- Run `./niltalk --new-config` to generate a sample config.toml and add your configuration.

- Run `./niltalk` and visit http://localhost:9000.

### Docker

The official Docker image `niltalk:latest` is [available here](https://hub.docker.com/r/kailashnadh/niltalk). To try out the app, copy [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml) and run `docker-compose run niltalk`.

### Customisation

The static HTML/JS/CSS assets can be customized. Copy the `static` directory from the repository, change the files, and do: `./niltalk --static-dir=/path/to/custom/static`

> This is a complete rewrite of the old version that had been dead and obsolete for several years (can be found in the `old` branch). These codebases are not compatible with each other and `master` has been overwritten.
