SilentiumChat Server

🚧 Work in Progress 🚧

SilentiumChat Server is the backend component for SilentiumChat, a secure messaging app with end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
The server only relays encrypted messages between clients and never has access to users' private keys or unencrypted data.

Features (planned)

• Relay encrypted messages between clients
• Store minimal metadata (message IDs, timestamps) if needed
• Handle file uploads and downloads securely
• Future: WebSocket support, group chat relay, notifications, etc.

Status

Caution

This project is still under active development.
Expect frequent updates, changes, and new features.

Configuration

Before running the server, make sure to configure the following:

• The port the server should listen on
• Database connection details (if applicable)

Example (in a .env file):

URL_MONGO="URL_HERE (ex: mongodb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@DOMAIN_NAME/?authMechanism=DEFAULT&authSource=admin&dbName=DATABASE_NAME)"
PORT=30001
UPLOAD_DIR="src"
