Open Chat Go

10th generation of Open Chat, written in Go. Without federation for now; would love to add it again though.

• Production: msgmate.io ( branch production )
• Staging: stage.msgmate.io ( branch main )
• Docs (wip): msgmate.io/docs
• API Docs: msgmate.io/reference
• Design System: msgmate-io.github.io/open-chat-go

TL;DR

• Production Docker: docker build -f Dockerfile -t open-chat:latest .
• Go Linux Binary: wget -O open-chat "https://github.com/msgmate-io/open-chat-go/releases/latest/download/open-chat-linux-amd64"
• Python Client: pip install git+https://github.com/msgmate-io/open-chat-go-python-client.git

Development

docker compose build
# frontend + backend ( sqite + hot-reload )
docker compose up
# or design system
docker compose --profile storybook up

Bake in your own go-tools

• Tool dependencies are declared in backend/tooldeps.json.
• During backend builds, backend/full_build.sh runs go run ./scripts/tooldepsgen to:
  • sync dependencies into backend/go.mod
  • generate backend/api/msgmate/externaltools/imports_gen.go with side-effect imports
• External packages should register tools in init() using the SDK at clients/go_tool_interface/

Production

docker compose -f docker-compose.pro.yaml build
# backend ( postgres + frontend static html + js )
docker compose -f docker-compose.pro.yaml up -d
