Claude a2cb224323 feat: scaffold Phase B + C (events, telemetry, plugins, Solid.js)
Phase B Step 6 — Solid.js incremental migration
  - vite-plugin-solid + solid-js + @solidjs/testing-library in package.json
  - vite.config.ts compiles src/components/solid/** as Solid TSX
  - tsconfig.json gains jsx: preserve / jsxImportSource: solid-js
  - lib/solidAdapter.ts wraps existing custom Stores as Solid signals
  - lib/solidMount.ts adapts Solid render to {mount,destroy} contract
  - components/solid/Badge.tsx (proof-of-concept leaf)
  - components/solid/ChannelListItem.tsx (store-subscribed leaf)
  - components/solid/Badge.test.tsx pipeline smoke test
  - components/solid/README.md documents the migration recipe

Phase B Step 7 — Event persistence layer
  - SQLite + Postgres migrations for the events table
  - sqlc query files for both engines
  - EventStore interface + SQLite raw-SQL impl + MemStore impl + pg stubs
  - ws.EventPersister: async batched writer (queue / flush / drain / drop)
  - ws.StartEventPruner: background retention pruner
  - hub persists every replay-buffer push and exposes reconnect-tier counters
  - serve.handleReconnect: tiered replay (buffer -> DB -> full re-sync)
  - EventPersistenceConfig + main.go wiring
  - event_persister_test.go covers batching / drops / drain

Phase B Step 8 — OpenTelemetry skeleton
  - Server/telemetry package with public Provider/Tracer/Meter/Counter API
  - telemetry_default.go (no-op build) + telemetry_otel.go (build tag otel)
  - telemetry/metrics.go declares the AppMetrics bundle
  - HTTPMiddleware mounted in Chi router (pass-through in default build)
  - PrometheusHandler optionally mounted at /metrics
  - Spans on MessageService.SendMessage, PermissionService.HasChannelPerm,
    ChannelService.ListVisibleChannels
  - Reconnect-tier counter wired into the global meter
  - TelemetryConfig defaults

Phase C Step 9 — Wazero plugin runtime skeleton
  - Server/plugin package: manifest parser, loader, registry, host APIs
    (commands, storage, events, http, ui), errors
  - sandbox_default.go (no-op) + sandbox_wazero.go (build tag wazero)
  - SQLite + Postgres migrations for plugins + plugin_kv tables
  - PluginStore interface + impls + pg stubs
  - plugin/examples/hello manifest + README
  - plugin_test.go covers manifest, loader, capability gating
  - api/plugins_handler.go admin REST surface, mounted under admin group
  - PluginsConfig + main.go wiring (disabled by default)
  - Client: lib/pluginBridge.ts iframe + postMessage host
  - Client: components/solid/PluginContainer.tsx Solid host component

Verification
  - Default build (no -tags) is intended to compile cleanly with no new
    third-party dependencies. The sandbox lacked Go 1.25.0 so go build
    could not run; PHASE_BC_LOCAL_TODO.md enumerates the local follow-up
    work (npm install, go mod tidy, sqlc-generate, real otel/wazero
    wiring, remaining service spans, full Solid migration).

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.

Quick Start

Option A: Prebuilt binaries

  1. Download assets from GitHub Releases.
  2. Run the server binary:
    • Windows: chatserver.exe
    • Linux: ./chatserver
  3. Open https://localhost:8443/admin and create your Owner account.
  4. 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_KEY
  • TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
  • SERVER_UPDATE_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY
  • SERVER_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.
