Flamos

This is chat room based application made using Flask, MongoDB utilizing sockets functionality to create chat rooms and implement basic user authentication.

Chat history is stored in database.

The users need to sign up in order to be participate in chat and/or create a room.

Users will be required to provide a room password during the creation of the room which will be used to encrypt their messages before storing in the database.

Room editing is also provided which allows modifying room name, members, and deleting the room itself.

Room password can't be changed as it is used as encryption/decryption key. Changing it will result in a different key, which won't be able to decrypt the stored messages.

To run the application:

pip install -r requirements.txt
export MONGO_URI= <mongo_uri>
export SECRET_KEY = <secret_key>

and then run:

python app.py
