Added private session with tstream -private

PR: #52

Changelog

This is a patch for the last version to fix a bug relating to terminal resizing.

In the last version because we sent data by block, but those data don't contain winsize messages => there will be a mismatch in timing.

In this version we include those winsize messages and also saving a cached winsize message on the server.

Changelog

PR

TL;DR:

• we stream data in block( contains many write requests in one block )
• Now users watching the stream will be delayed with the actual stream
• Much smoother and less lagging for both streamer and viewer

Technical note

In the previous version, any single change on the streamer's terminal is sent to the viewer. There are some problems with this approach:

• Many changes are very small ( I.e: newline ) => inefficient use of request
• In a short period of time we have many changes => too many requests
  With this version, we send messages by block. Each block is all messages generated in a period. This block is also being gzipped before being sent. This way we have some advantages:
• fewer requests since we send a block of data every x (3) seconds.
• By gzipped we reduced the message's size by around 7 folds. also, gzip is very fast so it's not a problem.

But this prevents users from watching the stream in super near real-time.

But I think 3 seconds lag is fine, it's how youtube and twitch works anw.

• Responsive for mobile

Doc

TUI chat

• Start with command tstream -chat. It'll auto-detect streaming session to open chat

CHAT

• UI refactor a bit. but still needs a lot more work
• UI add /name command so viewers can change their name
• server => refactor message packaging

Improves and secures streamer - server connectivity

• Add authorization for streamer connection.
  • Streamer connecting flow:
    • Send a POST API to the server to request create room. this request contains a secret that'll be used as the room's secret
    • Initialize a WebSocket connection
      • Send a secret
      • server verifies. if match with room secret => authorize connection

Server

• add boltDB : Currently, it only stores room info.
• There is a coroutine to periodically sync state from RAM to DB
• added a new api: POST /api/room : streamer must call this to request create room before connecting via WebSocket. This API performs some checks:
  • version checking of TStream. if the version is not compatible => return 426 to streamer
  • In case streamer requests to add a room already existed => user wants to reconnect, or maybe the room is taken by someone else. The server then checks the secret of the request with the room's Secret => if match then allows users to proceed

TStream

• Add check if the user starts TStream inside a TStream session: using TSTREAM_SESSION env
• When TStream is started it will generate a config at ~/.tstream.conf. Currently store: secret, and username
• Version checking, display message require the user to upgrade if fails

Viewer

• Add show recent streams on home page
• Improve room state checking to display the right status
• Improve responsiveness

First release

• Basic tstream package for streamer
• Webapp for Viewers
• Center server for broadcasting

Features:

• 1 Streamer multiple viewers
• Chatting
