Where are the devs at? Devzat!
Devzat is a custom SSH server that takes you to a chat instead of a shell prompt. Because there's SSH apps on all platforms (even on phones) you can connect to Devzat on any device!

## Usage
Try it out:
```sh
ssh devzat.hackclub.com
```
If it's your first time logging in, you can choose your display name with the SSH username. For example, if you want to be called "wenjie", you can run:
```sh
ssh
[email protected]
```
If you want to change your display name after the first login, you should use the `nick` command.
If you're under a firewall, you can still join on port 443:
```sh
ssh devzat.hackclub.com -p 443
```
If you add this to `~/.ssh/config`:
```ssh
Host chat
HostName devzat.hackclub.com
```
You'll be able to join with just:
```sh
ssh chat
```
We also have a Slack bridge! If you're on the [Hack Club](https://hackclub.com) Slack, check out the `#ssh-chat-bridge` channel!
Feel free to make a [new issue](https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/issues) if something doesn't work.
See the [status site](https://stats.uptimerobot.com/kxMQqfYk4y) of the main Devzat server to check if it might be down.
### Want to host your own instance?
Quick start:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/quackduck/devzat && cd devzat
go install # or build, if you want to keep things pwd
ssh-keygen -qN '' -f devzat-sshkey # new ssh host key for the server
devzat # run! the default config is used & written automatically
```
These commands download, build, setup and run a Devzat server listening on port 2221, the default port (change by setting `$PORT`).
Check out the [Admin's Manual](Admin's%20Manual.md) for complete self-host documentation!
### Permission denied?
Devzat uses public keys to identify users. If you are denied access: `
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)` try logging in on port 443, which does not require a key, using `ssh devzat.hackclub.com -p 443`.
This error may happen because you do not have an SSH key pair. Generate one with the command `ssh-keygen` if this is the case. (you can usually check if you have a key pair by making sure a file of this form: `~/.ssh/id_*` exists)
### Help
```text
Welcome to Devzat! Devzat is chat over SSH: github.com/quackduck/devzat
Because there's SSH apps on all platforms, even on mobile, you can join from anywhere.
Run `cmds` to see a list of commands.
Interesting features:
• Rooms! Run cd to see all rooms and use cd #foo to join a new room.
• Markdown support! Tables, headers, italics and everything. Just use \n in place of newlines.
• Code syntax highlighting. Use Markdown fences to send code. Run eg-code to see an example.
• Direct messages! Send a quick DM using =user <msg> or stay in DMs by running cd @user.
• Timezone support, use tz Continent/City to set your timezone.
• Built in Tic Tac Toe and Hangman! Run tic or hang <word> to start new games.
• Emoji replacements! :rocket: => 🚀 (like on Slack and Discord)
For replacing newlines, I often use bulkseotools.com/add-remove-line-breaks.php.

## Integrations
When self-hosting an instance, Devzat can integrate with Slack and/or Discord to bridge messages, and Twitter to post new-user announcements.
See the [Admin's Manual](Admin's%20Manual.md) for more info.
Devzat has a plugin API you can use to integrate your own services: [documentation](plugin/README.md). Feel free to add a plugin to the main instance. Just ask for a token on the server.
