What is ssh chat?
ssh-chat is a custom SSH server written in Go that provides a chat interface instead of a traditional shell. When users connect via SSH, they enter a chat room where they can communicate with other connected users in real-time. It repurposes the SSH protocol for secure, text-based messaging without requiring additional chat clients.
System administrators, developers, and technical users who want to set up simple, secure chat rooms using existing SSH infrastructure and clients.
ssh-chat offers a unique approach to chat by leveraging the ubiquitous SSH protocol, eliminating the need for separate chat software while providing built-in authentication security. It's lightweight, portable, and can be self-hosted with minimal configuration.
