Go-SSB Rooms

This repository contains code for a Secure-Scuttlebutt Room v2 server writen in Go.

It not only includes the secret-handshake+boxstream setup and muxrpc handlers for tunneling connections but also a fully embedded http/html interface for administering the room.

Features

• Rooms v1 (tunnel.connect, tunnel.endpoints, etc.)
• Sign-in with SSB
• Simple allow-listing Currently via .ssb-go-rooms/authorized_keys. To be replaced with a authorization list on the dashboard.
• Alias managment

Development

The basics just need a recent version of Go. v1.14 and onward should be sufficient.

To build the server and see a list of it's options, run the following:

$ cd cmd/server
$ go build
$ ./server -h
Usage of ./server:
  -dbg string
    	listen addr for metrics and pprof HTTP server (default "localhost:6078")
  -lishttp string
    	address to listen on for HTTP requests (default ":3000")
  -lismux string
    	address to listen on for secret-handshake+muxrpc (default ":8008")
  -nounixsock
    	disable the UNIX socket RPC interface
  -logs string
    	where to write debug output to (default is just stderr)
  -repo string
    	where to put the log and indexes (default "/home/cryptix/.ssb-go-room")
  -shscap string
    	secret-handshake app-key (or capability) (default "1KHLiKZvAvjbY1ziZEHMXawbCEIM6qwjCDm3VYRan/s=")
  -version
    	print version number and build date

If you are working on the html templates or assets for them, build the server with go build -tags dev. This way it won't use the assets that are embedded in the binary but read them directly from the local filesystem.

Once you are done with your changes run go generate in package web to update them.

Testing

Rooms

The folder tests/nodejs contains tests against the JavaScript implementation. To run them, install node and npm and run the following:

cd tests/nodejs
npm ci
go test

Web Dashboard

The folders web/handlers contain the HTTP handlers for the dashboard. Each subfolder comes with unit tests for the specific area (like auth, news, etc.). Simply run go test in one of them or run go test ./web/... in the root of the repo to test them all.
