Growing a group to a realistic size by hand needs that many clients running at once, and chat-cli cannot simply be backgrounded: it has no headless mode, crossterm opens /dev/tty when stdin is not a terminal, and an instance without one exits at launch. The account address is only reachable through the TUI as well, since nothing logs it and the data dir keeps chats alone. So each peer gets its own pty, is asked for its address once its delivery node reports in, and is held open until the script is interrupted.
libchat
Supporting library for Logos-chat
Example app
bin/chat-cli is an end-to-end encrypted CLI chat app
built on this library. By default it uses logos-delivery
(Waku-based) as the transport so two users anywhere in the world can chat by
sharing an intro bundle. A local file transport is also bundled in; pick at
runtime with --transport <logos-delivery|file>.
# Build logos-delivery with Nix
nix build .#logos-delivery
# Build chat-cli with Cargo
LOGOS_DELIVERY_LIB_DIR=./result/lib cargo build --release -p chat-cli
# Run binary (defaults to --transport logos-delivery)
./target/release/chat-cli --name alice
See bin/chat-cli/README.md for full build,
run, and test instructions.
