Innonymous

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THOSE WHO CHECK OUR WORK IN INNOPOLIS: this readme only for brief view of project. All important information for grading you can find in our docs: https://innonymous.rtfd.io

Innonymous is mobile-ready open-source light-weight and anonymous chat. Backend in python FastAPI, client-side in ReastJS, using web-sockets. Persistant storages are postgres and rabbitmq. Backend has anti spam registration using auto-generated CAPTCHA.

Since we have clear and easy documentation (powered by swagger) you can use our backend and create your own client-side application!

Source code

You may notice that this repo does not have any source code. We decided to split backend, frontend and main repo. Here you can find all links:

• API Server - https://github.com/innonymous/api-server
• Web Client - https://github.com/innonymous/web-client
• Compose (this repo) - https://github.com/innonymous/compose

Quick start

We already pushed Innonymous to production: https://innonymous.tk/ (We DO NOT accept any responsibility for the content of the site. Anyone can write anything)

However you can start your own version of Innonymous! It is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Install Docker and Docker Compose if you don't have it already

   • On Mac and Windows, Docker comes with Docker Compose
   • On Linux you need to install Docker Engine and Docker Compose separately

2. Configure .env file:

$ cp .env.example .env

env variable	description	example
AMQP_PASSWORD	RabbitMQ in docker container will use it, so this password only for infrastructure usage. However you should keep it in secret.	mycoolpassword1
DATABASE_PASSWORD	Infra password for postgres	mycoolpassword2
API_KEY	32 bytes in hex, can be generated as openssl rand -hex 32 for backend JWT generation	12345678901234567890123456789012
API_PORT	port for api. can be any free port	8000
WEB_PORT	port of web service (client side app)	8080

3. Now start the whole project. You can add -d flag to run in daemon mode:

$ docker pull smthngslv/innonymous-web-client
$ docker pull smthngslv/innonymous-api-server
$ docker-compose up

Done! Now go to localhost:8080 and test your chat!

NOTE: after restarting database, you should clear your browser cookies. It is even better to use Incognito Window for local testing.
