Project Context

Purpose

OpenSpeak is an open-source TeamSpeak alternative built in Go. The project provides both server and client applications to enable voice communication over networks. The goal is to create a free, self-hosted, feature-rich voice communication platform.

Tech Stack

  • Language: Go (golang)
  • Protocol: Protocol Buffers/gRPC for client-server communication
  • Architecture: Modular client-server architecture

Project Conventions

Code Style

  • Follow standard Go conventions using gofmt for formatting
  • Use go lint and go vet for code quality checks
  • PascalCase for exported identifiers, camelCase for unexported
  • Descriptive variable names that indicate purpose
  • Keep lines under 120 characters where practical
  • Comment all exported functions and types

Architecture Patterns

  • Client-Server Model: Separate executable applications for server and client with clear responsibilities
  • Protocol Buffers/gRPC: Use protobuf for message definition and gRPC for efficient service communication
  • Modular by Feature: Organize packages around domain concepts (e.g., voice, auth, streaming, config)
  • Repository Pattern: Abstract data access logic where applicable
  • Middleware Pattern: Use middleware for cross-cutting concerns like logging, authentication, and error handling

Testing Strategy

  • Unit Tests: Use Go's standard testing package (testing.T)
  • Table-Driven Tests: Use data-driven test patterns for comprehensive test coverage
  • Integration Tests: Test components working together, especially client-server communication
  • Benchmarks: Use testing.B for performance-critical code paths
  • Test files should be in the same package as the code being tested with _test.go suffix
  • Aim for meaningful test coverage of business logic

Git Workflow

  • Branching Strategy: Feature branches for development
    • feature/* for new features
    • bugfix/* for bug fixes
    • main for stable releases
  • Commit Conventions: Conventional commits
    • feat: for new features
    • fix: for bug fixes
    • docs: for documentation changes
    • refactor: for code refactoring
    • test: for test additions/changes
    • perf: for performance improvements
    • Example: feat: add voice channel broadcasting to server

Domain Context

Voice Communication Architecture

  • Audio Codec: Opus (provides best latency/quality trade-off)
    • Used by Discord, Telegram, and WebRTC
    • Supports variable bitrate for bandwidth efficiency
    • Native Go support via external libraries
  • Voice Stream Model: Server broadcast to channel members
    • Clients send encoded audio packets to server
    • Server receives from all speakers and broadcasts to channel members
    • Server handles basic audio packet routing (not mixing/processing)
    • Each user receives individual streams from other speakers

Server Responsibilities

  • Authentication & Authorization: User login, token validation (admin tokens stored locally initially)
  • Channel Management: Create, delete, manage voice channels
  • Voice Stream Routing: Receive audio packets from clients, broadcast to channel members
  • User Presence Tracking: Track online status and which channels users are in
  • Connection Management: Handle client connections/disconnections and cleanup

Client Responsibilities (Desktop GUI)

  • Audio Capture: Record audio from user's microphone
  • Audio Encoding: Encode to Opus format before sending to server
  • Audio Playback: Decode received streams and mix for playback to speakers
  • UI Management: Display channels, users, connection status
  • Stream Handling: Handle multiple concurrent incoming audio streams

Core Features (Initial Release)

  • Voice channels (persistent, users can join/leave)
  • Authentication (admin token-based access)
  • Real-time voice communication in channels
  • User presence tracking (who's online, who's in which channel)

Important Constraints

  • Audio Latency: Must minimize latency for real-time voice communication (target <100ms round-trip)
  • Concurrency: Server must handle multiple concurrent connections and voice streams efficiently
  • Network Bandwidth: Optimize audio bitrate vs. quality (Opus helps with this)
  • Memory Management: Goroutines and channels for concurrent audio packet handling
  • Platform Support: Go backend (cross-platform server), GUI client (consider platform specifics)
  • Open Source: Ensure all dependencies are compatible with chosen license (consider GPL/MIT/Apache)

External Dependencies

Core Libraries (To Be Determined)

  • Audio Codec: github.com/gopxl/beep or pion/webrtc for Opus support
  • gRPC/Protobuf: google.golang.org/grpc and google.golang.org/protobuf (already chosen)
  • GUI Framework: (TBD - consider Fyne, Gio, or Ebiten for cross-platform desktop)
  • Logging: Standard library or github.com/sirupsen/logrus for structured logging

Server Infrastructure

  • Network: Raw TCP/UDP connections, gRPC for control plane
  • Concurrency: Go goroutines and channels for audio packet handling
  • Configuration: Local config files for server settings, admin token storage
  • Data Persistence: Not needed for MVP (stateless server, optional later for user/channel persistence)
