Open source Instant Messaging Server

What is Open-IM-Server

Open-IM-Server is an instant messaging server developed using pure Golang, adopting JSON over WebSocket as the communication protocol. In Open-IM-Server, everything is a message, so you can easily extend custom messages without modifying the server code. With a microservice architecture, Open-IM-Server can be deployed using clusters. By deploying Open-IM-Server on a server, developers can quickly integrate instant messaging and real-time networking features into their applications, ensuring the security and privacy of business data.

Open-IM-Server is not a standalone product and does not include account registration and login services. For your convenience, we have open-sourced the chat repository which includes login and registration functionality. By deploying the chat business server alongside Open-IM-Server, a chat product can be set up.

Quick Start

Deploying with docker-compose

  1. Clone the project
clone https://github.com/OpenIMSDK/Open-IM-Server 
cd Open-IM-Server
git checkout release-v3.0 #or other release branch
  1. Modify .env
USER=root #no need to modify
PASSWORD=openIM123  #A combination of 8 or more numbers and letters, this password applies to redis, mysql, mongo, as well as accessSecret in config/config.yaml
ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:10005 #minio's external service IP and port, or use the domain name storage.xx.xx, the app must be able to access this IP and port or domain,
API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:10002/object/ #the app must be able to access this IP and port or domain,
DATA_DIR=./  #designate large disk directory
  1. Deploy and start

Note: 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.

chmod +x install_im_server.sh;
./install_im_server.sh;
  1. Check the service
cd scripts;
./docker_check_service.sh

Component Configuration Instructions

The config/config.yaml file has detailed configuration instructions for the storage components.

  • Zookeeper

    • Used for RPC service discovery and registration, cluster support.

      zookeeper:
        schema: openim                          #Not recommended to modify
        address: [ 127.0.0.1:2181 ]             #address
        username:                               #username
        password:                               #password
      
  • MySQL

    • Used for storing users, relationships, and groups, supports master-slave database.

      mysql:
        address: [ 127.0.0.1:13306 ]            #address
        username: root                          #username
        password: openIM123                     #password
        database: openIM_v2                     #Not recommended to modify
        maxOpenConn: 1000                       #maximum connection
        maxIdleConn: 100                        #maximum idle connection
        maxLifeTime: 60                         #maximum time a connection can be reused (seconds)
        logLevel: 4                             #log level 1=slient 2=error 3=warn 4=info
        slowThreshold: 500                      #slow statement threshold (milliseconds)
      
  • Mongo

    • Used for storing offline messages, supports mongo sharded clusters.

      mongo:
        uri:                                    #Use this value directly if not empty
        address: [ 127.0.0.1:37017 ]            #address
        database: openIM                        #default mongo db
        username: root                          #username
        password: openIM123                     #password
