Open-IM-Server, crafted meticulously using pure Golang, stands as a robust instant messaging server. Its unique approach to communication, via JSON over WebSocket, treats every interaction as a message. This simplifies customization and eliminates the need for tinkering with server code. Harnessing the power of microservice architecture, the server can be deployed via clusters, promising impressive performance and scalability.
Open-IM-Server is more than an instant messaging server; it's a powerful tool for incorporating real-time networking into your applications, positioning itself as your premier choice for integration! 🚀
Please be aware that Open-IM-Server does not function as a standalone product and does not offer built-in account registration or login services. To ease your implementation process, we've open-sourced the [chat repository](https://github.com/OpenIMSDK/chat), which comprises these features. Deploying this chat business server in conjunction with Open-IM-Server expedites the setup of a comprehensive chat product. 👥
Further enhancing your experience, we also provide an SDK client, wherein most complex logics are implemented. The [SDK repository](https://github.com/OpenIMSDK/openim-sdk-core) can be found at [this link](https://github.com/OpenIMSDK/openim-sdk-core). The [chat repository](https://github.com/OpenIMSDK/chat) is our business server while the 'core' represents the high-level encapsulation of the SDK, synergistically working together to deliver superior results. ✨
✅ Supports almost all types of messages, including text, images, emojis, voice, video, geographical location, files, quotes, business cards, system notifications, custom messages and more
✅ Based on IM (Instant Messaging) with 100% reliable forced signaling capabilities, it paves the way for IM systems, deeply integrated with chat applications
✅ The code of OpenIM is open source, self-controlled data, aimed at building a globally leading IM open source community, including client SDK and server
✅ Based on open source Server, many excellent open source projects have been developed, such as [OpenKF](https://github.com/OpenIMSDK/OpenKF) (Open source AI customer service system)
✅ The OpenIM server is implemented in Golang, introducing an innovative "everything is a message" communication model, simplifying the implementation of custom messages and extended features
✅ OpenIM supports a hierarchical governance architecture in the cluster, tested by a large number of users, and abstracts the storage model of online messages, offline messages, and historical messages
✅ Supports native iOS, Android; cross-platform Flutter, uni-app, ReactNative; major web front-end frameworks such as React, Vue; applets; and PC platforms supported by Electron
✅ Supports multi-architecture mirroring, our Docker images are hosted not only on GitHub but also on Alibaba Cloud and Docker Hub supporting multiple architectures. Visit [our GitHub packages](https://github.com/orgs/OpenIMSDK/packages?repo_name=Open-IM-Server) and read our [version management document](https://github.com/OpenIMSDK/Open-IM-Server/blob/main/docs/conversions/version.md) for more information.
✅ We have a large open source community called [OpenIMSDK](https://github.com/OpenIMSDK) that runs the core modules, we have an open source community called [openim-sigs](https://github.com/openim-sigs) to explore more IM-based infrastructure products.

> This command can only be executed once. It will modify the component passwords in docker-compose based on the `PASSWORD` variable in `.env`, and modify the component passwords in `config/config.yaml`. If the password in `.env` changes, you need to first execute `docker-compose down`; `rm components -rf` and then execute this command.
