A simple real-time chat application built using Django, WebSockets, Daphne, and Redis. This project serves as a base application for any project that requires a chat feature. It provides a simple solution for real-time chat functionality.

To run the chat application using Docker, follow these steps:

1. Clone the GitHub repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/YonatanLevyn/chat_project.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd chat_project

3. Build and run the Docker containers:

docker-compose up --build

4. Once the containers are up and running, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to access the chat application.

5. To stop the containers and remove the network and volumes defined in the docker-compose.yml file, run the following command in the terminal:

docker-compose down

Looking ahead, I plan on implementing WebSocket Secure (WSS) using HAproxy. This will make the chat application more robust and ready-to-use for other projects.
