A completely decentralized, peer-to-peer chat system.

By Rohit Awate, Debajyoti Chakraborty and Rohan Devasthale

There is a pre-built JAR file DecentralizedChat.jar so no need to build the project. You need at least Java 8 to run these JARs.

Since the system is entirely P2P, you can run as many peers as you want and have them connect to each other using groups.

java -jar DecentralizedChat.jar

The events and activities happening on the server can be observed in the log files which are saved on a per-user basis in the directory app_data.

Please check the demo video below.
