You can try a public instance of Colubrina at [colubrina.troplo.com](https://colubrina.troplo.com/).
This is currently beta software, and may not work as expected. Please file an issue if you encounter any.
Colubrina is a simple self-hostable chatting platform written in Vue, and Vuetify for the frontend, and Node.js, Sequelize and Socket.io for the backend.

## Backend setup
First, configure a database and user (MariaDB strongly recommended) for Colubrina.<br>
Please navigate to the `backend` folder and run `yarn`.<br>
Then navigate to the `cli` folder, and run the following commands:
```
yarn
```
to install dependencies, and then
```
node .
```
which should result in an interactive CLI prompt looking like the following:
```
Troplo/Colubrina CLI
Colubrina version 1.0.1

Select setup, and go through the steps.<br>After completing the initial setup, you may run `yarn build` in the frontend folder, or select "Build frontend for production" in the CLI.<br>
The backend service can now be started with `node .` in the `backend` folder which will run on port `23998`.
A systemd service example config file can be found at `colubrina.service`, and an `nginx.conf` example.
