BenzCloud Chat Plugin (benzcloud-plugin-chat)

License: GPL v3 Go Version Version

The BenzCloud Chat Plugin provides a real-time, decentralized team chat service for the BenzCloud mesh ecosystem. Designed as a zero-dependency, self-hosted alternative to Slack and Discord, it operates purely over local encrypted peer-to-peer networks.


🌟 Key Features

  • Real-Time WebSocket Architecture: Low-latency bi-directional messaging with instant delivery.
  • Dynamic Channels & Topics: Pre-configured #general, #dev, #random rooms with on-the-fly channel creation.
  • Live User Presence: Instant peer online/offline tracking across the local mesh.
  • Embedded Web UI: Cybernetic Dark interface inspired by modern team chat tools with a dual-language toggle (DE / EN), avatar badge generation, and responsive mobile-friendly layout.
  • BenzCloud Service Integration: Auto-discovers with benzcloud-server via /health API for automatic DNS mapping (chat.<domain>) and reverse-proxy routing.
  • Decentralized Persistence: Zero cloud telemetry. All message logs and channels persist locally in structured JSON records.

🚀 Quick Start

Running the Plugin

./benzcloud-plugin-chat -port=8093 -data=./data -domain=benzcloud.local

  • -port <number>: Web UI and WebSocket server port (default: 8093).
