Project Description

I want to extend my PoC at https://github.com/bmwiedemann/opensuse-redir-cache to provide efficient package downloads to zypper without extra support from the download.o.o server.

Goal for this Hackweek

I will ignore the caching part (because nginx can already do that) and concentrate on the redir logic, tracking mirror perfomance.

Resources

Looking for hackers with the skills:

perl curl http

    Description

    As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:

    • The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
    • The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
    • We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
    • The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.

    The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.

    I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.

    Goals

    • Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
    • Most importantly: have fun.
