"bChat"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
distributed chat based on linux utilities and bash scripts

This is simple bash script chat for small screen (mobile).
Local chat archive files, named by channel name are appended by 
reading chat archive files across remote servers, if distributed 
system is desired. Access over ssh to central chat server is 
default starting configuration. By connecting to remote servers you
can see outgoing chat messages of selected channel of remote server
users. Any remote server user shall connect to your server to collect
and see outgoing messages of your server.

No dependencies except encryption and data wiping utilities
are required. Install srm secure delete package and openssl
cipher routines for data protection. OpenSSH server and client
with password authorisation must be running on the system.
For debian use: apt install openssh openssl secure-delete.

Copy all provided files in working directory (~/.bchat by default)
and start chat by running chat.sh script. Several chat archive 
files will be created in /chat subdirectory of working directory.
These files can be destroyed manually using linux srm utility, or
archive destruction can be started when anybody on the chat types 
~DESTROY~ string at the chat prompt. Encryption AES-128 
algorythm is used to encrypt chat data before writing to
the chat archive file.

Included ~/.bchat/docs/configs subdirectory contains sample 
configuration files for termux linux subsystem of android OS.
