The client can now talk to the old Perl signer implementation. Running socat has been documented in README.md. Commonly used I/O code has been moved to the shared/io.go file.

# CAcert signer in Go
|
|
|
|
This is a reimplementation of the CAcert signer code from the
|
|
[CommModule directory](https://git.cacert.org/gitweb/?p=cacert-devel.git;a=tree;f=CommModule) of the CAcert software
|
|
in [Go](https://golang.org/). The goal of this effort is to provide a more maintainable version of the software.
|
|
|
|
## Running the signer and client locally
|
|
|
|
The signer is usually attached to a USB serial port. You can run the signer and client locally using the
|
|
[socat](https://manpages.debian.org/buster/socat/socat.1.en.html) utility.
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
socat -d -d PTY,link=$(pwd)/ttyS0 PTY,link=$(pwd)/ttyS1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may then run the server
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
go run signer/main.go -a $(pwd)/dev/ttyS0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and the client:
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
go run client/main.go -a $(pwd)/dev/ttyS1
|
|
``` |
