## About <a name = "about"></a>
Cinny is a [Matrix](https://matrix.org) client focusing primarily on simple, elegant and secure interface.
## Building and Running
### Running pre-compiled
A pre-compiled version of the app exists in this repo. You can serve the application with a webserver of your choosing
by simply copying these files to the webroot:
- `olm.wasm`
- `_redirects`
- all files in the `dist/` directory
### Building from source
Execute the following commands to compile the app from its source code:
```
npm install #installs all dependencies
npm build #compiles the app into the dist/ directory
```
You can then copy the files to a webserver's webroot of your choosing as noted above.
To serve a development version of the app locally for testing, you may also use the command `npm start`.
### Running with Docker
This repository includes a Dockerfile, which builds the application from source and serves it with Nginx on port 80. To
use this locally, you can build the container like so:
```
docker build -t cinny:latest .
```
You can then run the container you've built with a command similar to this:
```
docker run -p 8080:80 cinny:latest
```
This will forward your `localhost` port 8080 to the container's port 80. You can visit the app in your browser by
navigating to `http://localhost:8080`.
