UNIX domain socket support for Mojolicious
an invention by kraih
Updated over 4 years ago. No love.

The Mojolicious web development toolkit is currently limited to using TCP/IP sockets for its HTTP/WebSocket client and server. For most web services that's more than enough, but for containerized applications and IPC, UNIX domain sockets could provide significantly better performance and security.

Use cases would be for example faster communication between Mojolicious application servers and NGINX reverse proxies, or a WebSocket alternative to the D-BUS message bus currently being used by openQA.

Looking for hackers with the skills:

    Create a page with all devel:languages:perl packages and their versions by tinita

    Description

    Perl projects now live in git: https://src.opensuse.org/perl

    It would be useful to have an easy way to check which version of which perl module is in devel:languages:perl. Also we have meta overrides and patches for various modules, and it would be good to have them at a central place, so it is easier to lookup, and we can share with other vendors.

    I did some initial data dump here a while ago: https://github.com/perlpunk/cpan-meta

    But I never had the time to automate this.

    I can also use the data to check if there are necessary updates (currently it uses data from download.opensuse.org, so there is some delay and it depends on building).

    Goals

    • Have a script that updates a central repository (e.g. https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_metadata) with metadata by looking at https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_ObsPrj (check if there are any changes from the last run)
    • Create a HTML page with the list of packages (use Javascript and some table library to make it easily searchable)

    MCP Perl SDK by kraih

    Description

    We've been using the MCP Perl SDK to connect openQA with AI. And while the basics are working pretty well, the SDK is not fully spec compliant yet. So let's change that!

    Goals

    • Support for Resources
    • All response types (Audio, Resource Links, Embedded Resources...)
    • Tool/Prompt/Resource update notifications
    • Dynamic Tool/Prompt/Resource lists
    • New authentication mechanisms

    pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola

    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.
