# Clipboard on the GO 😉
A simple clipboard synchronization tool built with Go. It consists of a server and a client application that work together to keep your clipboard data in sync across multiple devices.

## Features
- Real-time clipboard synchronization
- Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Easy to set up and use

## Prerequisites
- Go programming language installed (version 1.16 or higher)
- Git installed

## Installation
1. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://gitea.reversed.dev/space/clipboard-on-the-go.git
    cd clipboard-on-the-go
    ```
2. Modify the configuration.
2.1 Server Configuration:
   - Navigate to the `server` directory.
   - Make a new file called `config.go` and paste/modify the following code:
```go
package main

const (
	// Update these values before building
	EmbeddedServerIP   = "0.0.0.0"
	EmbeddedServerPort = "8080"
)
```

2.2 Client Configuration:
   - Navigate to the `client` directory.
    - Make a new file called `config.go` and paste/modify the following code:
```go
package main

const (
	// Update these values before building
	EmbeddedIdentification = "my-unique-id"
	EmbeddedServerIP       = "100.107.73.38"
	EmbeddedServerPort     = "8080"
)
```
3. Build the programs.
- Run the `build.bat` script in the root directory to build both the server and client applications.

4. Run the server.
- Navigate to the `server` directory and execute the `clipboard-sync-server.exe` file.
5. Run the client.
- Navigate to the `client` directory and execute the `clipboard-sync.exe` file.

## Usage
This is intended to be hosted on a public ish server, preferably in a tailnet or via a VPN, as you never should expose anything to the internet.

I use this on my home server, which i can connect to with tailscale, so i don't have to worry about exposing it to the internet.

Clients are identified by the `EmbeddedIdentification` value in the client config file. Make sure to set this to a unique value for each USER you want to sync. If you want to sync multiple devices for the same user, just run multiple instances of the client with the same `EmbeddedIdentification`.
