Shadowchat

• Self-hosted, noncustodial and minimalist Monero (XMR) superchat system written in Go.
• Provides an admin view page to see donations with corresponding comments.
• Provides notification methods usable in OBS with an HTML page.

To see a working instance of shadowchat, see xmr.lukesmith.xyz.

Installation

1. apt install golang
2. git clone https://git.sr.ht/~anon_/shadowchat
3. cd shadowchat
4. go install github.com/skip2/go-qrcode@latest
5. edit config.json
6. go run main.go

A webserver at 127.0.0.1:8900 is running. Pressing the pay button will result in a 500 Error if the monero-wallet-rpc is not running. This is designed to be run on a cloud server with nginx proxypass for TLS.

Monero Setup

1. Generate a view only wallet using the monero-wallet-gui from getmonero.org. Preferably with no password
2. Copy the newly generated walletname_viewonly and walletname_viewonly.keys files to your VPS
3. Download the monero-wallet-rpc binary that is bundled with the getmonero.org wallets.
4. Start the RPC wallet: monero-wallet-rpc --rpc-bind-port 28088 --daemon-address https://xmr-node.cakewallet.com:18081 --wallet-file /opt/wallet/walletname_viewonly --disable-rpc-login --password ""

Usage

• Visit 127.0.0.1:8900/view to view your superchat history
• Visit 127.0.0.1:8900/alert?auth=adminadmin to see notifications
• The default username is admin and password adminadmin. Change these in main.go
• Edit web/index.html and web/style.css to customize your front page!

OBS

• Add a Browser source in obs and point it to https://example.com/alert?auth=adminadmin

Future plans
