Phase B Step 8 (OpenTelemetry) and Phase C Step 9 (Wazero plugin runtime)
were structurally scaffolded but the tagged builds were placeholders that
errored at runtime. This commit lands the real implementations behind the
existing build tags, plus three review passes worth of fixes across the
plugin admin handler, plugin registry, telemetry adapter, and Solid client.
Telemetry (Phase B Step 8)
- Add real go.opentelemetry.io/otel{,/sdk,/exporters/{prometheus,otlp...}}
modules to go.mod plus contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp.
- Replace the telemetry_otel.go skeleton with a working Provider that
wires Prometheus + OTLP/gRPC exporters, otelhttp middleware, span and
meter adapters, and an idempotent Shutdown.
- AppMetrics cache is now reset *before* SetGlobal to close a race where
a concurrent NewAppMetrics() could observe a swapped provider but read
stale no-op instruments.
- Init releases the trace provider on a later prometheus exporter
failure so Init never leaks gRPC connections.
- convertAttrs handles int32/uint/uint32/uint64/float32 explicitly;
uint64 values that exceed math.MaxInt64 fall back to a STRING attr
rather than wrapping into a negative int64 and corrupting metrics.
- Tests under -tags otel cover the prometheus scrape, span lifecycle,
histogram recording, shutdown idempotency, AppMetrics rebind, and
the uint64 overflow fallback.
Plugin runtime (Phase C Step 9)
- Add github.com/tetratelabs/wazero v1.11.0 to go.mod.
- platformInit creates a shared wazero.Runtime with WASI preview1
pre-instantiated; activateWithRuntime compiles + instantiates each
plugin module under that runtime; platformDeactivate closes per-
plugin modules without tearing down the runtime.
- DisablePlugin now calls platformDeactivate so the wazero module is
freed immediately instead of leaking until registry Close.
- activate() captures runtimePlatform under r.mu.RLock and passes it as
a parameter to activateWithRuntime; the call no longer re-reads the
field, closing a race with concurrent Close.
- invokeCommand calls the plugin's command_dispatch export when
present; missing/broken exports return a user-facing diagnostic
instead of crashing the dispatcher.
- Tests under -tags wazero cover registry creation, module compilation,
re-enable after disable (verifies the leak fix), close-twice safety,
invalid wasm rejection, and DispatchCommand with a missing export.
Fixture is a 41-byte embedded add.wasm; no external asset required.
Plugin admin handler hardening
- /api/v1/admin/plugins/install now rejects uploads whose multipart
Content-Type is not application/zip|x-zip-compressed|octet-stream
(415) and uploads whose body lacks the PK\\x03\\x04 / PK\\x05\\x06
zip magic (400). The 16 MiB cap and registry-side zip-slip / symlink
/ size-bomb defences are still applied as before.
- New plugins_handler_test.go covers list-empty, install-503-when-nil,
content-type rejection, magic rejection, happy path, lifecycle 503,
invalid id, and isZipContentType / hasZipMagic helpers.
Solid client (Phase B Step 6) cleanup
- vitest.config.ts now wires vite-plugin-solid and broadens the test
glob to include src/**/*.test.tsx so Badge.test.tsx is actually
discovered (it was silently skipped).
- pluginBridge.ts targets postMessage at window.location.origin
instead of "*", and exposes a destroy() that detaches the message
listener and clears mounted frames.
- solidMount.ts imports the JSX type from "solid-js" instead of
"solid-js/web" (the latter does not re-export it), unblocking
npx tsc --noEmit.
Build/test status
- go build succeeds on default, -tags otel, -tags wazero, and
-tags otel,wazero.
- go test passes on every tag combination across telemetry, plugin,
api, ws, service, store, and the rest of the tree.
- Client: npx tsc --noEmit clean; vitest 3188/3188 across 112 files.
PHASE_BC_LOCAL_TODO.md is updated to mark the OTel modules + real Init,
the wazero module + real platformInit, and the test coverage that
landed in this commit as completed.

OwnCord
The gaming chat platform you actually own.
Early Alpha / Work in Progress OwnCord is in active development and is not production-ready. Expect rough edges, rapid changes, and occasional breaking behavior.
Do not use it for sensitive communications yet.
Development Model
OwnCord is built with an AI-first development workflow. Most implementation is generated through autonomous AI tooling, with quality validated primarily through automated checks (CI, tests, linting) and real-world feedback during alpha.
This approach enables fast iteration, but it also means behavior may change quickly between releases.
OwnCord is a self-hosted chat stack with a Go server and a Tauri desktop client. It includes real-time messaging, voice/video via LiveKit, file sharing, and a web admin panel.
Current Project Status
| Area | Status |
|---|---|
| Core chat flow | Working in alpha |
| Voice/video | Working in alpha |
| Admin panel | Working in alpha |
| Security hardening | In progress |
Platform Support (Current Releases)
| Component | Windows x64 | Linux x64 | Linux ARM64 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server binary | Yes | Not published yet | N/A |
| Desktop client | Yes | Not published yet | Not published yet |
| Docker server | N/A | Not published yet | N/A |
Start Here
- New user quick path: docs/quick-start.md
- Linux Docker deployment: docs/deployment.md
- Remote access without router config: docs/tailscale.md
- Manual router/network setup: docs/port-forwarding.md
Quick Start
Option A: Prebuilt binaries
- Download assets from GitHub Releases.
- Run the server binary:
- Windows:
chatserver.exe - Linux:
./chatserver
- Windows:
- Open
https://localhost:8443/adminand create your Owner account. - Generate invite codes in the admin panel and share them with friends.
Option B: Docker (Linux server)
cd Server
cp .env.example .env
cp livekit.yaml.example livekit.yaml
# Edit both files before starting
docker compose up -d
See the full setup guide in docs/deployment.md.
The client uses TOFU (Trust On First Use) for self-signed certificates: it prompts once, then pins the certificate for future connections.
What OwnCord Already Has
- Real-time channels and direct messages over WebSocket
- Voice/video channels via LiveKit
- Invite-only registration and role-based permissions
- Web admin panel with logs, backups, and update tooling
- File uploads and inline media rendering
- TOTP 2FA support and API rate limiting
- Desktop client auto-update with signature verification
See deeper feature and architecture docs in docs/client-architecture.md and docs/protocol.md.
Architecture
Two main components:
- Go server (REST API, WebSocket hub, SQLite, admin panel)
- Tauri v2 desktop client (Rust backend + TypeScript frontend)

Build and Test
Prerequisites
- Go 1.25+
- Node.js 20+
- Rust stable (client builds)
Build from source
# Server (Windows)
cd Server
go build -o chatserver.exe -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=1.0.0" .
# Server (Linux)
cd Server
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o chatserver -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=1.0.0" .
# Client
cd Client/tauri-client
npm install
npm run tauri build
Core verification commands
# Server
cd Server
go test ./...
# Client
cd Client/tauri-client
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm test
For the full command set, use docs/contributing.md.
Configuration
On first run, the server generates config.yaml and a local data/ directory:
data/
├── chatserver.db
├── certs/
├── uploads/
└── backups/
Key options include TLS mode, upload limits, LiveKit settings, and admin CIDR restrictions. See docs/server-configuration.md.
Security and Vulnerability Reporting
- For vulnerabilities, use GitHub Security Advisories (private disclosure flow).
- Do not open public issues for security bugs.
- Read full policy and hardening notes in docs/security.md.
Update Signing Notes (Maintainers)
Client and server update signing keys are intentionally separate.
Required Actions secrets for release signing:
TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEYTAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORDSERVER_UPDATE_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEYSERVER_UPDATE_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
When rotating the server updater key, update Server/updater/server_update_public_key.txt and use staged rollover for live fleets.
