GoChat - Multi-Container Deployment

This is a fork of LockGit/gochat with Docker Compose multi-container deployment support.

What's New

This fork adds production-ready multi-container deployment to the original gochat project:

• ✅ 8 Independent Containers: Each service (etcd, redis, logic, connect-ws, connect-tcp, task, api, site) runs in its own container
• ✅ Horizontal Scaling: Scale Logic, Connect, Task, and API services independently
• ✅ Docker Compose: One-command deployment with make compose-dev or make compose-prod
• ✅ Auto-Configuration: Container IPs automatically registered to etcd for proper RPC communication
• ✅ Health Checks: Each service monitors its own health with auto-restart
• ✅ Dev/Prod Configs: Separate configurations for development and production environments

Quick Start

# Start all services
make compose-dev

# Or manually
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f deployments/docker-compose.dev.yml up

# Visit the chat app
http://localhost:8080

Scaling Services

# Scale specific services
docker compose up --scale logic=3 --scale connect-ws=2 --scale task=2

Production Deployment

make compose-prod HOST_IP=<your-server-ip>

Architecture

├── etcd          → Service discovery
├── redis         → Message queue & cache
├── logic × N     → Business logic RPC (scalable)
├── connect-ws × N→ WebSocket handler (scalable)
├── connect-tcp × N→ TCP handler (scalable)
├── task × N      → Message worker (scalable)
├── api × N       → REST API (scalable)
└── site          → Frontend
