Project Details
Elemental-IRCd
A scalable RFC compliant IRCv3 enabled IRC server for personal and professional use.
Accomplishments
- Automated builds to the docker hub on every commit and release https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/xena/elemental-ircd/
- Orchestration tools for automating server setup (pre-docker) https://github.com/Elemental-IRCd/oline-gangnam-style
Elemental is currently in use in production on several networks, totaling 800-1000 users per day with spikes of up to 50,000 on special events.
Cod
A set of extended services for IRC networks written from scratch and released for public use under the terms of the Zlib license.
Accomplishments
- Completely modular setup with dynamic loading and unloading of services
- Automated script for setting up its environment as part of starting Cod https://github.com/cod-services/cod/blob/master/cod
Cod is currently in use in production on a network with over 300 people daily.
Tetra
Cod's next generation replacement written from scratch in Go with Lua for scripting.
Accomplishments
- Parallel execution of handlers and scripts
- Moonscript -> Lua transpiling support
- A clean, declarative domain-specific language for declaring features or bot commands:
Command "PING", ->
"PONG"
This will create a command named "PING" that will return "PONG" to the user when it is used.
Tetra is currently in a development state, but it is in use on several networks and does not serve more than 300 users daily.
Flitter
Flitter is an experimental from-scratch platform as a service implemented in Go that runs on top of CoreOS and Fleet, building Docker containers on a git push to its builder ssh server. It is a combination of the Heroku workflow with a pure docker environment. It currently is in a mostly working state, with things such as old applications being purged as new ones are started not yet implemented due to time constraints. It is intended to be built such that it is completely scalable from one server to any number of servers. There is an example video of a deployed application linked in the readme of Flitter.
Personal Hosting
I use Dokku-alt for hosting my websites. A lot of my websites are written in such a way that they meld seamlessly with parts of the stack and are able to build themselves on deployment. See https://github.com/Xe/dockerfiles/blob/master/lapis-ultimate/Dockerfile for an example of this.
Personal Tools
I will release most (if not all) of the one-off tools I make into the public domain when it makes sense to. The most recent tools I release into the public domain will be here: https://github.com/Xe/tools
