word-of-wisdom-tcp-client

Problem/Purpose

Design and implement “Word of Wisdom” tcp server.

• TCP server should be protected from DDOS attacks with the Proof of Work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work), the challenge-response protocol should be used.
• The choice of the POW algorithm should be explained.
• After Proof Of Work verification, server should send one of the quotes from “word of wisdom” book or any other collection of the quotes.
• Docker file should be provided both for the server and for the client that solves the POW challenge

It's a client, not a server

See Server's README

How to run a client?

At first, please ensure that server is up and running (see README above).

Have a look into Dockerfile. It creates light-weight docker image on top of alpine where you have compiled binary /app/word-of-wisdom-tcp-client.

You can customize hostname and port if needed. Defaults: 0.0.0.0:8080

go run cmd/main.go -h

Usage: word-of-wisdom-tcp-client [OPTIONS]

Example: word-of-wisdom-tcp-client --address host.docker.internal:8080

Options:
  -a, --address   hostname:port for word-of-wisdom-server (default "localhost:8080")

Run a server in Docker container

# Build docker image
$ docker build -t word-of-wisdom-client .

# Run an app in docker container
$ docker run word-of-wisdom-client
# 2024/01/29 14:19:46 calling host.docker.internal:8080
