This is a collection of high-performance and scalable event-driven servers (notably tac_plus-ng, tac_plus, ftpd, tcprelay). Please have a look at the documentation for configuration details.

Bugs

Be prepared for issues. This is work-in-progress, so be prepared for unexpected bahavior. Don't use this in a production environment without testing. If it breaks, please file an issue. The non-helpful alternative would be to just keep the broken pieces, so please don't do that.

Installation instructions

This software suite should compile quite fine on Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Other platforms might be fine, too, but weren't recently tested.

Build environment

Required tools:

• A supported C compiler, plus linker. LLVM is fine, GCC should work too (but I don't check this regulary, and it might have issues with optimization, so that's disabled for now).
• GNU make (version 3.79.1, unpatched, recommended, others may or may not work).
• Perl
• Various development header files and libraries

Compile & Install

Please run "./configure --help". It will output a list of supported options. Then run ./configure with the appropriate arguments. After that, run "make" to start the compilation process and "make install" to install the compiled binaries.

Example:

./configure tac_plus-ng
make
sudo make install

You may actually omit the "configure" step if you're content with the default build options, which are to compile everything and to use all optional features your system supports at first glance.

If you don't care for the optional features (TLS support, C-ARES, others), just run

./configure --minimum tac_plus-ng
make
sudo make install

Documentation

The distribution comes with documentation located in the top-level "doc" director, and you can view it online at https://www.pro-bono-publico.de/projects, too.

Support

While I really appreciate that you're using the software I'd very much prefer not to receive private support enquiries.
