Open source Uber #deleteuber

LibreTaxi v2, #deleteuber

Roses are red
violets are blue
workers are tired of getting exploited
and we're all coming for you

LibreTaxi is open-source Uber proof-of-concept that works though Telegram.

It is closer to Craigslist rideshare rather than Uber, but it works, and works great! The app that is easy to use, supports multiple languages, fast and cool. There are tens of thousands users worldwide, and we're on the way to 1M users. So please spread the word!

Prerequisites

1. Install Go
2. Install Go dep
3. Download the repo to ~/go/src/libretaxi
4. Install Docker with docker-compose
5. Run PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ with default credentials (see connection strings below)

docker-compose up -d

Setting up RabbitMQ (for development and production)

rabbitmq:3-management contains UI plugin for queue management. Plugin port is 8080 (15672 in container). Login guest/guest.

Login to RabbitUI here: http://localhost:8080

There is only one queue at the moment:

• messages queue, http://localhost:8080/#/queues/%2F/messages - picked up by message handler, enqueued by libretaxi

Note that there is one message producer, and one message consumer threads (goroutines) in application.

Port 5672 is RabbitMQ itself.
