## Why?
To test my abilities to develop networked programs, and to enhance my skills in writing such.
## Requirements
### Hardware
- Client machine
- Server machine (not required to be distinct from Client)
### Software
- [Golang]
- Linux distro (highly recommened)
- ```make``` is also used in this guide, but the makefile is incredibly simple, and can be skipped entirely by running ```go build``` instead
- Tested with [golang] v1.26
- Installation has only been tested with [just] v1.53
- Server installation assumes systemd (tested with v260.2)
### Installation
Golang can be installed on Mac with
``` sh
brew install golang
```
Clone the repo
``` sh
git clone https://github.com/alexander-the-alright/ekho
cd ekho
```
Using your favorite text editor, change the destination IP and Port to whatever works for you. This is defined on line 247 in client.go as 127.0.0.1:1300.
Now the server file needs to be run on the preferred port, as specified in the client file. This is defined on line 257 in server.go.
#### Justfile
It is recommended to use ```just``` for installation, as it has more
capabilities than ```make```, however, there is a makefile included.
To install the server with ```just```, run ```sudo just ins_server```.
You will be prompted to enter a new port number to run the server on (
or leave blank to use 1300). The port will be changed in the source
file before compilation.
To install the client with ```just```, run ```sudo just ins_client```.
You will be prompted to enter the IP (or URL) and port of the server
(or leave blank to use localhost:1300). The IP/URL and port will be
changed in the source file before compilation.
#### Makefile
If you are unable or willing to use ```just```, the included makefile
still has most of the functionality, but it does not change any
important parameters. The following changes are advised before
installation.
The binary(s) can be obtained using the makefile
If the server is being run on a separate machine, only run make with client flag
``` sh
make client
```
If both binaries are being run on the same machine, ```make all``` will suffice. Although, both of these commands can be bypassed with ```go build```, as this is all ```make``` does anyway.
``` sh
make all
```
1. On the client machine, change the IP/URL and port in the client source file. This can be
done quickly with ```sed -i -e "s/127.0.0.1:1300/YOUR.IP.GOES.HERE:PORT/" client.go```
2. On the server machine, change the port in the server source file. This can be done with a
similar command: ```sed -i -e "s/1300/PORT/" server.go```. (note: this
should match the port from bullet 1)
3. On the server machine, change the user referenced in the systemd service file. This can be
done with another sed command, ```sed -e -i "s/USER/YOUR_USERNAME/" ekho.service```
#### NOTE
In previous versions, the suggested method of installation involved placing bash scripts in ```/etc/update-motd.d/```, however, there have been issues getting that installation method working (namely, having MOTD run user-defined commands), and the current quick and extremely dirty suggested installation method is to just append the user's shell config files (```.bashrc```, ```.bash_profile```, ```.zshrc```, etc) with the paths to the executables.
After making these changes on the respective machines, run either
```sudo make ins_client``` or ```sudo make ins_server``` to compile and install the client
and/or server binaries.
For example, if the server used zsh, the installation could look something like this:
``` sh
echo "~/abs/path/to/server.o &" >> ~/.zshrc
```
Similarly for a client using Bash:
``` sh
echo "~/abs/path/to/client.o" >> ~/.bashrc
```
Any help figuring out the issue with MOTD would be appreciated.
#### After Installation
After installation of the server binary, systemd will display the
status of the new service. It should be ```enabled``` and
```running```.
Finally done!
### Usage
The client uses the following flags
``` sh
-h - display help message
-a <s> - adds required argument <s> as a quote to server
-l - list all quotes
-r [i] - remove; may be run with or without argument
-ip - specify alternate server destination
-s - specify the size of the receipt buffer
-h - display help message
-a <string> - adds required argument <s> as a quote to server
-ip <ip:port> - specify alternate server destination
-l - list all quotes
-r [i] - remove; may be run with or without argument
-s <i> - specify the size of the receipt buffer
```
The server uses the following flags
``` sh
-h - display help message
-s - specify the size of the receipt buffer
-s <i> - specify the size of the receipt buffer
-v - display version and exit
-vv - display version and about info and exit
```
### How It Works
The sequence diagram can be viewed in ```diag``` folder, which shows the sequence of networked messages for each usage of ekho.
The source code is in the same folder, ```ekho-seq.txt```, and can be uploaded to [sequencediagram.org][seqdiag] to rerender the diagram and view any updates.
### To Be Implemented
- Log all uses/transaction data each day
- Request, send, and receive the logfile for any day
- Request, send, and receive the logfile
- User-specific quotes/quotefiles
- Installation (client-side, at least) via MOTD
- Colored printing and coloring quotes
- Edit quotes
