.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
These functions implement a simple array data structure that
|
||||||
|
is automatically resized as necessary when new values are added.
|
||||||
|
This implementation does not actually store the values of the
|
||||||
|
items in it; it only stores pointers to the data. As such, you will
|
||||||
|
still have to manually maintain all your data. The advantage of this
|
||||||
|
is that these functions don't have to copy data, and thus don't care
|
||||||
|
how big the data is. Furthermore, arbitrary data can be stored in the
|
||||||
|
array.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
This array implementation is optimized for storage space and appending.
|
||||||
|
Deletions are expensive in that all the items of the list above a deletion
|
||||||
|
are moved down to fill the hole where the deletion occurred. Insertions are
|
||||||
|
also expensive in that all the elements above the given index must be shifted
|
||||||
|
up to make room for the new element.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
Due to these design choices, this array implementation is best suited to
|
||||||
|
linear writing, and then linear or random reading.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
These functions operate on an array structure which is opaque to the
|
||||||
|
caller.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayCreate
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayFree
|
||||||
|
allocate and deallocate an array, respectively.
|
||||||
|
Note that
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayFree
|
||||||
|
does not free any of the values stored in the array; it is the caller's
|
||||||
|
job to manage the memory for each item. Typically, the caller would
|
||||||
|
iterate over all the items in the array and free them before freeing
|
||||||
|
the array.
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayTrim
|
||||||
|
reduces the amount of unused memory by calling
|
||||||
|
.Xr realloc 3
|
||||||
|
on the internal structure to perfectly fit the elements in the array. It
|
||||||
|
is intended to be used by functions that return relatively read-only arrays
|
||||||
|
that will be long-lived.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayInsert
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayDelete
|
||||||
|
are the main functions used to modify the array.
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayAdd
|
||||||
|
is a convenience method that simply appends a value to the end of the
|
||||||
|
array. It uses
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayInsert .
|
||||||
|
The array can also be sorted by using
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArraySort ,
|
||||||
|
which takes a pointer to a function that compares elements. The function
|
||||||
|
should take two
|
||||||
|
.Dv void
|
||||||
|
pointers as parameters, and return an integer. The return value indicates
|
||||||
|
to the algorithm how the elements relate to each other. A return value of
|
||||||
|
0 indicates the elements are identical. A return value greater than 0
|
||||||
|
indicates that the first item is "bigger" than the second item and should
|
||||||
|
thus appear after it in the array, and a value less than zero indicates
|
||||||
|
the opposite: the second element should appear after the first in the array.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayGet
|
||||||
|
is used to get the element at the specified index.
|
||||||
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayCreate
|
||||||
|
returns a pointer on the heap to a newly allocated array structure, or
|
||||||
|
.Dv NULL
|
||||||
|
if the allocation fails.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayGet
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayDelete
|
||||||
|
return pointers to values that were put into the array, or
|
||||||
|
.Dv NULL
|
||||||
|
if the provided array is
|
||||||
|
.Dv NULL
|
||||||
|
or the provided index was out of bounds.
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayDelete
|
||||||
|
returns the element at the specified index after removing it so that
|
||||||
|
it can be properly handled by the caller.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayTrim ,
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayInsert ,
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn ArrayAdd
|
||||||
|
return a boolean value indicating their status. They return a value of zero
|
||||||
|
on failure, and a non-zero value on success.

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
This is an efficient yet simple base64 encoding and decoding
|
||||||
|
library that supports regular base64, as well as the Matrix
|
||||||
|
specification's extension to base64, called "unpadded base64."
|
||||||
|
.Nm provides the ability to convert between the two, instead of
|
||||||
|
just implementing "unpadded base64."
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64EncodedSize
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64DecodedSize
|
||||||
|
compute the amount of characters needed to store an encoded or
|
||||||
|
decoded message, respectively. Both functions take the size of
|
||||||
|
the message being encoded or decoded, but
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64DecodedSize
|
||||||
|
also takes a pointer to an encoded string, because a few bytes of
|
||||||
|
the string need to be read in order to compute the size.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Encode
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Decode
|
||||||
|
do the actual work of encoding and decoding base64 data. They both
|
||||||
|
take a string and its length.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Unpad
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Pad
|
||||||
|
are used to implement Matrix unpadded base64.
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Unpad
|
||||||
|
takes a valid base64 string and strips off the trailing equal signs,
|
||||||
|
as per the specification.
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Pad
|
||||||
|
does the opposite; it takes an unpadded base64 input string, and pads
|
||||||
|
it with equal signs as necessary, so that it can be properly decoded
|
||||||
|
with
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Decode
|
||||||
|
if necessary. However, the Matrix specification envisons unpadded base64
|
||||||
|
as opaque; that is, once it's encoded, it never needs to be decoded.
|
||||||
|
In practice, a homeserver might need to decode an unpadded base64 string.
|
||||||
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64EncodedSize
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64DecodedSize
|
||||||
|
simply return unsigned integers representing a number of bytes generated
|
||||||
|
from a simple computation.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Encode
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Decode
|
||||||
|
return pointers to new strings, allocated on the heap, or
|
||||||
|
.Dv NULL
|
||||||
|
if a heap allocation fails. These pointers must be
|
||||||
|
.Xr free 3 -ed
|
||||||
|
at some point when they are no longer needed.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Unpad
|
||||||
|
modifies the passed string in-place. It thus has no return value, because
|
||||||
|
it cannot fail. If the passed pointer is invalid, the behavior is undefined.
|
||||||
|
.Fn Base64Pad
|
||||||
|
returns a boolean value indicating whether the pad operation was successful.
|
||||||
|
In practice, this function will only fail if a bigger string is necessary, but
|
||||||
|
could not be automatically allocated on the heap.

.Sh NAME

.Nm telodendria.conf
|

|
.Nd Configuration file for Telodendria
|
||||||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
is the configuration file for the Telodendria homeserver,
|
||||||
|
.Xr telodendria 8 .
|
||||||
|
Telodendria is designed to be extremely configurable. As such,
|
||||||
|
it has a fairly extensive configuration file. The configuration
|
||||||
|
file can be passed to the Telodendria binary with the
|
||||||
|
.Sy -f
|
||||||
|
option, and is typically located at
|
||||||
|
.Pa /etc/telodendria.conf
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
uses OpenBSD-style syntax, though it is a little more rigid in its
|
||||||
|
parser. All values must be surrounded by quotes, and each directive
|
||||||
|
must be ended with a semicolon.
|
||||||
|
.Sh MACROS
|
||||||
|
Macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context.
|
||||||
|
Macro names must start with a letter, digit, or underscore, and may
|
||||||
|
contain only those characters. Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
For example:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
macro1 = "value1";
|
||||||
|
directive $macro1;
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.Sh GLOBAL OPTIONS
|
||||||
|
Here are the settings that can be set globally:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
||||||
|
.It Ic listen Ar port
|
||||||
|
The port to listen on. Telodendria will bind to all interfaces, but it
|
||||||
|
is recommended to configure your firewall so that it only listens on
|
||||||
|
localhost, and then configure a reverse proxy such as
|
||||||
|
.Xr relayd 8
|
||||||
|
in front of it, because Telodendria does not implement TLS. Note that
|
||||||
|
Telodendria doesn't provide multiple ports for the various services it
|
||||||
|
offers. ALl APIs are made available over the same port, so care should
|
||||||
|
be taken in
|
||||||
|
.Xr relayd.conf 5
|
||||||
|
to ensure that only the public Matrix API paths are made available over
|
||||||
|
the internet.
|
||||||
|
.Ar port
|
||||||
|
should be a decimal port number. This directive is entirely optional. If
|
||||||
|
it is omitted, then Telodendria will listen on port 8008 by default.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic server-name Ar name
|
||||||
|
Configure the domain name of your homeserver. Note that Matrix servers
|
||||||
|
cannot be migrated to other domains, so once this is set, it should never
|
||||||
|
change unless you want unexpected things to happen, or you want to start
|
||||||
|
over.
|
||||||
|
.Ar name
|
||||||
|
should be a DNS name that can be publically resolved. This directive
|
||||||
|
is required.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic base-url Ar url
|
||||||
|
Set the server's base URL.
|
||||||
|
.Ar url
|
||||||
|
should be a valid URL, complete with the protocol. It does not need to
|
||||||
|
be the same as the server name; in fact, it is common for a subdomain of
|
||||||
|
the server name to be the base URL for the Matrix homeserver.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
This URL is the URL at which Matrix clients will connect to the server,
|
||||||
|
and is thus served as a part of the
|
||||||
|
.Pa .well-known
|
||||||
|
manifest.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
This directive is optional. If it is not specified, it is automatically
|
||||||
|
deduced from the server name.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic identity-server Ar url
|
||||||
|
The identity server that clients should use to perform identity lookups.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Ar url
|
||||||
|
follows the same rules as
|
||||||
|
.Ic base-url .
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
This directive is optional. If it is not specified, it is automatically
|
||||||
|
set to be the same as the base URL.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic chroot Ar directory
|
||||||
|
Change the root directory to the specified directory as soon as possible.
|
||||||
|
Note that all other paths and files specified in
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
must be accessible relative from this directory. This directive only
|
||||||
|
takes effect if Telodendria is running as root. If it isn't, then a
|
||||||
|
warning is printed to the log, and no
|
||||||
|
.Xr chroot 2
|
||||||
|
call is made. In that case, Telodendria will still change into the
|
||||||
|
specified directory, so that the other paths referenced can be made
|
||||||
|
relative to this one. This directive is required. It is expected that
|
||||||
|
the homeserver data and logs will be stored in a subdirectory of this one.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic id Ar uid Ar gid
|
||||||
|
The effective UNIX user and group to drop to after binding to the socket
|
||||||
|
and changing the filesystem root. This only works if Telodendria is
|
||||||
|
running as the root user, and is used as a security mechanism. If Telodendria
|
||||||
|
is started as a non-priviledged user, then a warning is printed to the log
|
||||||
|
if that user does not match what's specified here. This directive is
|
||||||
|
required, even if Telodendria is unable to switch to the given user and
|
||||||
|
group. It should be used as a sanity check to make sure the permissions are
|
||||||
|
working properly.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic data-dir Ar directory
|
||||||
|
The data directory into which Telodendria will write all user and event
|
||||||
|
information. Telodendria doesn't use a database like other Matrix homeserver
|
||||||
|
implementations; it uses a flat-file directory structure, similar to how an
|
||||||
|
SMTP server uses Maildirs to deliver email. This directive is required.
|
||||||
|
.Ar directory
|
||||||
|
should be a path relative to the
|
||||||
|
.Ic chroot
|
||||||
|
directory. Don't depend on the
|
||||||
|
.Ic chroot
|
||||||
|
option working, because there may be legitimate cases when Telodendria will
|
||||||
|
not be started as root, thus causing the chroot to fail.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic federation Ar true|false
|
||||||
|
Whether to enable federation with other Matrix homeservers or not. Matrix is
|
||||||
|
by its very nature a federated protocol, but if you just want to run your
|
||||||
|
own internal chat server with no contact with the outside, then you can use
|
||||||
|
this option to disable federation. It is highly recommended to set this to
|
||||||
|
.Ar true ,
|
||||||
|
however, if you wish to be able to communicate with users on other Matrix
|
||||||
|
servers. This directive is required.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic registration Ar true|false
|
||||||
|
Whether or not to enable new user registration or not. For security and anti-spam
|
||||||
|
reasons, you can set this to
|
||||||
|
.Ar false .
|
||||||
|
If you do, you can still add users via the administrator API. In an ideal world,
|
||||||
|
everyone would run their own homeserver, so no public registration would ever
|
||||||
|
be required. Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to run their own homeserver,
|
||||||
|
especially because of the fact that public IPv4 addresses are becoming increasingly
|
||||||
|
harder to come by. If you would like to provide a service to those that are unable
|
||||||
|
to run their own homeserver, you can aset this to
|
||||||
|
.Ar true ,
|
||||||
|
which will allow anyone to create an account. Telodendria should be capable of handling
|
||||||
|
a large amount of users without difficulty or security issues. This directive is
|
||||||
|
required.
|
||||||
|
.It Ic log Ar file|stdout
|
||||||
|
The log configuration. Telodendria uses its own logging facility, which can output to
|
||||||
|
either standard output or a file. A number of child directives can be added to this
|
||||||
|
directive to customize the log output:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
||||||
|
.It Ic level Ar error|warning|task|message|debug
|
||||||
|
The level of messages to log at. Each level shows all the levels above it. For
|
||||||
|
example, setting the level to
|
||||||
|
.Ar error
|
||||||
|
will show only errors, while setting the level to
|
||||||
|
.Ar warning
|
||||||
|

.It Ic color Ar true|false
|
||||||
|
Whether or not to enable colored output on TTYs. Note that ANSI color sequences
|

|
will not be written to a log file, only a real terminal, so this option only
|

|
applies if the log is being written to a standard output which is connected to

How many worker threads to spin up to handle requests. This should generally be

less than the total CPU core count, to prevent overloading the system. The most

|
efficient number of threads ultimately depends on the configuration of the
|

|
machine running Telodendria, so you may just have to play around with different

|
||||||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
Telodendria is an open source project. As such, it welcomes
|
||||||
|
contributions. There are many ways you can contribute, and any
|
||||||
|
way you can is greatly appreciated. This page contains some of
|
||||||
|
the ways you can help out.
|
||||||
|
.Sh REPORTING ISSUES
|
||||||
|
Please reach out to the Matrix rooms mentioned at the top of
|
||||||
|
.Xr telodendria 7 .
|
||||||
|
All issue tracking takes place in those rooms. Start by reaching
|
||||||
|
out to the general room, and if you think there's a legitimate
|
||||||
|
problem with Telodendria itself, then stick the issue in the
|
||||||
|
issues room, where it can be discussed further. Issues usually
|
||||||
|
remain in the Matrix rooms, but severe enough issues may be put
|
||||||
|
in a
|
||||||
|
.Pa TODO
|
||||||
|
file in the
|
||||||
|
.Xr cvs 1
|
||||||
|
repository so that they don't get lost.
|
||||||
|
.Sh DEVELOPING
|
||||||
|
The primary language used to write Telodendria code is ANSI C.
|
||||||
|
Other languages you'll find in the Telodendria repository include
|
||||||
|
shell scripts,
|
||||||
|
.Xr mdoc 7 ,
|
||||||
|
and a little bit of HTML and CSS. If you have any experience with
|
||||||
|
any of these languages, your contributions are valuable! Please follow
|
||||||
|
the guidelines on this page to ensure the contribution workflow goes
|
||||||
|
as smoothly as possible.
|
||||||
|
.Ss Getting the Code
|
||||||
|
If you'd like to hack on Telodendria, you'll need the following tools
|
||||||
|
in addition to a C compiler and POSIX shell:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -tag
|
||||||
|
.It Xr cvs 1
|
||||||
|
For checking out and updating your local copy of the source code.
|
||||||
|
.It Xr indent 1
|
||||||
|
For formatting your code before generating patches.
|
||||||
|
.It Xr patch 1
|
||||||
|
For applying patches to your local copy of the source code.
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
All of these tools are built into OpenBSD. While you don't have to
|
||||||
|
use OpenBSD to develop Telodendria, it may make the process a bit
|
||||||
|
easier. In fact, these tools where chosen precisely because they
|
||||||
|
were built into my operating system of choice.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
You can download an official release tarball from the website if
|
||||||
|
you would really like, but the preferred way to get the source
|
||||||
|
code for development is to check it out from CVS. This makes generating
|
||||||
|
patches a lot easier.
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
$ cvs -d anoncvs@bancino.net:/cvs checkout -P Telodendria
|
||||||
|
$ cd Telodendria
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
If you already checked out the code previously, make sure you update
|
||||||
|
your local copy before you start developing:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
$ cvs -q update -dP
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
You should now have the latest source code. Follow the
|
||||||
|
.Sx CODE STYLE
|
||||||
|
as you make your changes. If the
|
||||||
|
.Xr cvs 1
|
||||||
|
command fails with a "Connection refused" error message, try setting
|
||||||
|
the
|
||||||
|
.Ev CVS_RSH
|
||||||
|
environment variable to "ssh", like this:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
Then run the checkout command again. Some versions of CVS on some
|
||||||
|
systems don't use SSH to checkout by default, so if yours doesn't,
|
||||||
|
you might want to put the above line into your shell init script.
|
||||||
|
.Ss Submitting Patches
|
||||||
|
Telodendria aims at remaining as minimal as possible. This doesn't just
|
||||||
|
mean minimal code, it also means a minimal development process, which is
|
||||||
|
why Telodendria doesn't use GitHub, GitLab, or even SourceHut. Instead,
|
||||||
|
the contribution workflow operates on submitting patch files to a public
|
||||||
|
Matrix room, sort of like the OpenBSD project operates on patch files
|
||||||
|
sent to a public mailing list.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
If you're not used to manually creating and submitting patches instead of
|
||||||
|
just opening a "pull request," you should be pleased to hear that submitting
|
||||||
|
patches is fairly easy to do if you've got the CVS sources checked out. In
|
||||||
|
fact, I find it easier than having to make a GitHub account, forking a
|
||||||
|
project's repository, and then making a pull request for it. Once you have
|
||||||
|
made your changes in your local copy of the code, and you've configured your
|
||||||
|
environment properly as noted in the manual for
|
||||||
|
.Xr td 8 ,
|
||||||
|
just run the patch recipe:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
$ td patch
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
This will automatically generate a patch file for all your changes, and then
|
||||||
|
open it in your preferred editor. You can also generate a patch file for only
|
||||||
|
certain files and directories. To do that, set
|
||||||
|
.Ev PATCHSET ,
|
||||||
|
like this:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
# Only write a patch for README.txt and the files in docs/
|
||||||
|
$ PATCHSET="README.txt docs/" td patch
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
As you'll notice, the top of the patch file should have some email-style
|
||||||
|
headers that look like this:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
From: Jordan Bancino <@jordan:bancino.net>
|
||||||
|
Date: Fri Jul 29 03:21:21 PM EDT 2022
|
||||||
|
Subject: Document Patch Procedure
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
As much information should be filled out for you, such as the date. An
|
||||||
|
attempt to fill out the From header was also made by
|
||||||
|
.Xr td 8 ,
|
||||||
|
but the information there can be modifed as necessary. Consult the manual
|
||||||
|
for
|
||||||
|
.Xr td 8
|
||||||
|
for more details. The Subject should very briefly describe what the patch
|
||||||
|
is about.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
You'll also notice these lines in the patch:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
[ ] I have read the Telodendria Project development certificate of
|
||||||
|
origin, and certify that I have permission to submit this patch
|
||||||
|
under the conditions specified in it.
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
This is a checkbox that tells me whether or not you actually have the
|
||||||
|
rights to submit your patch, and that once you submit your patch, your
|
||||||
|
code is bound by the Telodendria project license, which you can and
|
||||||
|
should view in
|
||||||
|
.Xr telodendria 7 .
|
||||||
|
The full text of the developer certificate of origin is as follows:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -enum
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
The contribution was created in whole or in part by me, and I have the right
|
||||||
|
to submit it under the open source licenses of the Telodendria project; or
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
The contribution is based upon a previous work that, to the best of my knowledge,
|
||||||
|
is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under
|
||||||
|
that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole
|
||||||
|
or in part by me, under the Telodendria project license; or
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
The contribution whas provided directly to me by some other person who certified
|
||||||
|
(1), (2), or (3), and I have not modifed it.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are made public
|
||||||
|
and that a record of the contribution\(emincluding all personal information
|
||||||
|
I submit with it\(emis maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed
|
||||||
|
consistent with this project or the open source licenses involved.
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
If you agree to the above, fill in the square brackets with an 'x', and then after
|
||||||
|
the headers, but before the checkbox, write a more thorough description of the
|
||||||
|
patch and why it was created. Then, send the resulting patch file to the public
|
||||||
|
Matrix room, as noted in
|
||||||
|
.Xr telodendria 7 ,
|
||||||
|
so it can be discussed and reviewed by the community.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
Try to keep your patches on topic\(emmake one patch file per feature or bug fix
|
||||||
|
being implemented. It is okay if your patches depend on previous patches, just
|
||||||
|
indicate that in the patch description. Note that it may take a while for
|
||||||
|
patches to be committed, and some patches may not be comitted at all. In either
|
||||||
|
case, all sent patches are queued from the Matrix room into the public patch
|
||||||
|
directory, so they can be referenced easier in the future. If you want to
|
||||||
|
reference a submitted patch in a Matrix message, email, or other digital medium,
|
||||||
|
it might be a good idea to link to it in the public patch directory.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
The public patch directory works as follows: when you send your patch to the
|
||||||
|
Matrix room, it is downloaded by Telodendria Bot and placed in the
|
||||||
|
.Pa ingress/
|
||||||
|
directory, named as the message ID. Then, it is assigned a patch ID and
|
||||||
|
copied to the
|
||||||
|
.Pa p/
|
||||||
|
directory as just "%d.patch", where "%d" is obviously the patch ID. This is
|
||||||
|
a permanent link that will always reference your patch. Then, your patch will
|
||||||
|
be symlinked into the
|
||||||
|
.Pa queue/
|
||||||
|
directory. I have a script that automatically ingresses patches and queues them
|
||||||
|
for me, and I use this to review patches. If your patch is accepted, the queue
|
||||||
|
symlink will be moved to
|
||||||
|
.Pa accepted/
|
||||||
|
and the submitted patch will be committed to the official CVS repository.
|
||||||
|
If your patch is rejected for some reason, its symlink will be moved to the
|
||||||
|
.Pa rejected/
|
||||||
|
directory. Regardless of the state of your patch, it will always remain
|
||||||
|
permalinked in the
|
||||||
|
.Pa p/
|
||||||
|
directory, and when it is accepted or rejected, Telodendria Bot will send a
|
||||||
|
message to the Matrix room.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
You're always welcome to inquire about rejected patches, and request that they
|
||||||
|
be reviewed again, or you can use them as a starting point for future patches.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
The public patch directory is located at
|
||||||
|
.Lk https://telodendria.io/patches/
|
||||||
|
.Sh CODE STYLE
|
||||||
|
In general, these are the conventions used by the code base. This guide
|
||||||
|
may be slightly outdated or subject to change, but it should be a good
|
||||||
|
start. The source code itself is always the absolute source of truth, so
|
||||||
|
as long as you make your code look like the code surrounding it, you should
|
||||||
|
be fine.
|
||||||
|
.Bl -bullet
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
All function, enumeration, structure, and header names are CamelCase. This
|
||||||
|
is preferred to snake_case because it is more compact.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
All variable names are lowerCamelCase. This is preferred to snake_case
|
||||||
|
because it is more compact.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
enumerations and structures are always typedef-ed to their same name. The
|
||||||
|
typedef should occur in the public API header, and the actual declaration
|
||||||
|
should live in the implementation file.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
A feature of the code base lives in a single C source file that has a
|
||||||
|
matching header. The header file should only export public symbols;
|
||||||
|
everything else in the C source should be static.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
Except where absolutely necessary, global variables are forbidden to
|
||||||
|
prevent problems with threads and whatnot. Every variable a function
|
||||||
|
needs should be passed to it either through a structure, or as a
|
||||||
|
separate argument.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
Anywhere curly braces are optional, there still must be curly braces. This
|
||||||
|
makes it easier to add on to the code later, and just makes things a bit
|
||||||
|
less ambiguous.
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
As far as actually formatting the code goes, such as where to put brackets,
|
||||||
|
and whether or not to use tabs or spaces, use
|
||||||
|
.Xr indent 1
|
||||||
|
to take care of all of that. The root of the CVS repository has a
|
||||||
|
.Pa .indent.pro
|
||||||
|
that should automatically be loaded by
|
||||||
|
.Xr indent 1
|
||||||
|
to set the correct rules. If you don't have a working
|
||||||
|
.Xr indent 1 ,
|
||||||
|
then just indicate in your patch that I should run my
|
||||||
|
.Xr indent 1
|
||||||
|
on the code after applying it. Although in reality, I'll likely
|
||||||
|
run my own
|
||||||
|
.Xr indent 1
|
||||||
|
on the code anyway, just to make sure the spacing is consistent, if nothing
|
||||||
|
else.

|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
differentiates itself from the other Matrix homeserver
|
||||||
|
implementations because it:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -bullet
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
Is written in C, a stable, low-level programming language with a
|
||||||
|
long history, low build and runtime overhead, and wide compatibility.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
Is written with minimalism as a primary design goal. Whenever possible
|
||||||
|
and practical, no third-party libraries are pulled into the source code.
|
||||||
|
Everything
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
needs is custom written. As a result,
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
depends only on a standard C compiler and a POSIX C library to be built,
|
||||||
|
both of which should come with any good Unix-style operating system already,
|
||||||
|
which means you shouldn't have to install anything extra.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
Uses a flat-file directory structure to store data instead of a database.
|
||||||
|
This has a number of advantages:
|
||||||

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
Is packaged as a single small, statically-linked and highly-optimized binary
|

that can be run just about anywhere. It is designed to be extremely easy to
|
||||||
|
set up and consume as few resources as possible.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
Is permissively licensed.
|

.Sh RATIONALE
|
||||||
|
I want a lightweight Matrix homeserver designed specifically for OpenBSD,
|
||||||
|
and other Unix-like operating systems. I want a homeserver that can be
|
||||||
|
developed and compiled with built-in tools. I want it to function entirely
|
||||||
|
on a base OS install without having to install any packages whatsoever. I've
|
||||||
|
found that as far as these goals are concerned, the existing homeserver
|
||||||
|
implementations fall short. This project aims to prove that Matrix homeservers
|
||||||
|
can be lightweight and written in such a way that very few, if any, third-party
|
||||||
|
libraries need to be pulled in.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
I also want to learn how Matrix works, and I want to understand the code I'm
|
||||||
|
running on my server, which is why I'm writing every component from scratch,
|
||||||
|
even the HTTP server and router.

|
The advantage of using a flat-file database instead of a real database is that
|
||||||
|
your data remains in a format that is incredibly easy to digest. Backups are
|
||||||
|
incredibly easy as well\(emjust

up the data directory and you're good to go.
|
||||||
|
.Sh PROJECT GOALS
|
||||||
|
The goals of this project are generally divided into user goals and developer
|
||||||
|
goals, depending on who they impact the most. This isn't an exaustive list
|
||||||
|
of the project's goals, but it is a list of things that I want to prioritize,
|
||||||
|
because other server implementations lack them.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
The user goals are as follows:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -bullet
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To implement the latest Matrix specification as fully and completely as possible.
|
||||||
|
All features defined by the specification should eventually be present in
|
||||||
|
.Nm .
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To be as privacy-friendly as possible.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
should not store any information it does not absolutely need to function as a
|
||||||
|
Matrix homeserver. While
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
strives to be feature-complete, it should not implement anything not explicitly
|
||||||
|
defined in the Matrix specification.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To be a production-ready Matrix server capable of working in constrained environments,
|
||||||
|
such as embedded devices, cheap VPSs, or a peer-to-peer device.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
should also work on traditional setups as well, and be able to handle a decent
|
||||||
|
amount of users. It should work well for personal Matrix homeservers that also
|
||||||
|
host a few friends and/or family members.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To be easier to get up and running, and yet also be more configurable than other
|
||||||
|
Matrix homeserver implementations. The configuration file should be flexible,
|
||||||
|
well-documented, and easy to understand and modify. An intuitive command-line
|
||||||
|
tool for administrative tasks should also be available.
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
The developer goals are as follows:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -bullet
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To have as few build and runtime dependencies as possible. It should be possible
|
||||||
|
to compile and run
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
on any POSIX operating system right out of the box.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
should be fully statically-linked, so it can run under a
|
||||||
|
.Xr chroot 3 .
|
||||||
|
Furthermore, it should be possible to read all the documentation offline, and
|
||||||
|
without any overly complicated tools. You'll notice that this documentation is
|
||||||
|
a collection of
|
||||||
|
.Xr man 1
|
||||||
|
pages, not HTML or Markdown, to remove the dependency on a browser or Markdown
|
||||||
|
parser. Any Unix-like system has a manual page viewer, which makes the
|
||||||
|
documentation more accessible, even on remote systems that have no graphical
|
||||||
|
interface to read the documentation. This ensures that you can read the
|
||||||
|
documentation for the installed version of
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
without having to go online.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To have a simple yet elegant workflow, and not depend on any large or complex
|
||||||
|
development tools such as code forges. The entire development workflow should
|
||||||
|
be able to be successfully and efficiently completed on a base OpenBSD install.
|
||||||
|
Of course, you don't have to use OpenBSD for development, but the point is that
|
||||||
|
the workflow should require fairly standardized and simple tools.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To write clean, elegant, well-tested, and well-documented code. The goal is to build
|
||||||
|
a Matrix homeserver from the ground up, not just because I don't like the way existing
|
||||||
|
homeservers are implemented, but also because I want to learn how Matrix works,
|
||||||
|
make it more accessible, and potentially teach others a little bit along the way.
|
||||||
|
.It
|
||||||
|
To foster a welcoming community. Many big communities such as Linux and OpenBSD
|
||||||
|
have hostile leaders.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
shouldn't have a hostile leader. I want to be as understanding as I can, and talk
|
||||||
|
through issues politely and in a civil manner. If I'm failing in this way, don't
|
||||||
|
be afraid to call me out!
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.Sh PROJECT STATUS
|
||||||
|
Telodendria is a very ambitious project. There's a lot that needs to happen yet
|
||||||
|
before it is usable. At the moment, there's nothing here that even remotely resembles
|
||||||
|
a Matrix homeserver. I'm still getting off the ground and building a foundation.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
But just because there's nothing here yet doesn't mean you should go away! I could
|
||||||
|
always use help, so you are more than welcome to help out if you want things to go
|
||||||
|
quicker. Please see the
|
||||||
|
.Xr contributing 7
|
||||||
|
page for details on how you can get involved. The CVS repository has a file called
|
||||||
|
.Pa TODO.txt ,
|
||||||
|
which contains a checklist of what has been done so far, and what's on the radar
|
||||||
|
to be done. You can take a look at it once you've checked out the source code.
|
||||||
|
If you'd like to help out, feel free to grab an item on the list that's not done
|
||||||
|
yet and start getting patches written. When you're done, enjoy the satisfaction
|
||||||
|
of crossing the item off the list yourself.

|
||||||
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
.Op recipe
|
||||||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
Telodendria uses a custom build script called
|
||||||
|
.Nm .
|
||||||
|
The
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
script is not only a build script, however. It does all kinds of
|
||||||
|
cool things like format the source code, and generate patch files.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
is the only supported way to develop Telodendria.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
I opted to write a custom build script instead of just writing a
|
||||||
|
.Pa Makefile
|
||||||
|
because I felt that there is really no way to make a truly portable
|
||||||
|
.Pa Makefile
|
||||||
|
that could do everything I wanted, with the flexibility I wanted. I
|
||||||
|
was doing a lot of research on the differences between the GNU and BSD
|
||||||
|
versions, and I felt it just wasn't worth trying to reconsile the two
|
||||||
|
when I could write a small and relatively robust POSIX shell script that
|
||||||
|
would run on both GNU and BSD systems without any problems. I also
|
||||||
|
think that shell scripts are a lot easier to read than complex
|
||||||
|
.Pa Makefiles.
|
||||||
|
They're easier to follow because they're not so cryptic.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
The
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
script is fairly intuitive. It operates somewhat like
|
||||||
|
.Xr make 1
|
||||||
|
in that it has recipes that you specify on the command line. To start
|
||||||
|
using it, just run the following command in the Telodendria source
|
||||||
|
directory:
|
||||||
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
||||||
|
$ . tools/env.sh
|
||||||
|
.Ed
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
.Sy Note:
|
||||||
|
You will have to run the above command every time you start a new
|
||||||
|
terminal session, as nothing is persisted to your system. I believe in
|
||||||
|
non-invasive, fully self-contained tooling, so it is up to you to hook the
|
||||||
|
Telodendria tools into your environment as you see fit if you want them to
|
||||||
|
persist.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
If you're going to be submitting patches, you should also configure a
|
||||||
|
.Pa .env
|
||||||
|
file in the project directory root, which
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
will include automatically for you. See
|
||||||
|
.Em FILES
|
||||||
|
and
|
||||||
|
.Em ENVIRONMENT .
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
Telodendria is designed to be light enough that it can be built from source
|
||||||
|
on just about any operating system. It only requires an ANSI C compiler and a
|
||||||
|
standard POSIX environment. To build the Telodendria binary, run
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
with no arguments, or with the
|
||||||
|
.Pa build
|
||||||
|
recipe. This will produce
|
||||||
|
.Pa build/telodendria ,
|
||||||
|
which you can then install to your system and run as a daemon.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
A complete list of recipes is below. Note that you can run multiple recipes
|
||||||
|
with a single invocation of
|
||||||
|
.Nm ,
|
||||||
|
but recipes are run unconditionally; that is, even if a recipe fails, all the
|
||||||
|
following recipes are still executed.
|
||||||
|
.Bl -tag
|
||||||
|
.It build
|
||||||
|
Build the source code and generate the output binary. This is the default recipe,
|
||||||
|
which means it runs if no other recipes are specified. This recipe is incremental;
|
||||||
|
it only rebuilds sources that have been modifed since the last build, making
|
||||||
|
subsequent builds faster.
|
||||||
|
.It run
|
||||||
|
Run the build binary with the development configuration in the
|
||||||
|
.Pa contrib/
|
||||||
|
directory. This recipe is used for quick testing during development. It is
|
||||||
|
.Sy not
|
||||||
|
the recommended way to run Telodendria in a production environment; it should only
|
||||||
|
be used for development.
|
||||||
|
.It clean
|
||||||
|
Remove the
|
||||||
|
.Pa build/
|
||||||
|
directory and any ephemeral files in the source tree, such as
|
||||||
|
.Pa .orig
|
||||||
|
files. The build recipe does not place anything outside of
|
||||||
|
.Pa build/ ,
|
||||||
|
so you can usually just delete that directory and get the same effect.
|
||||||
|
.It format
|
||||||
|
Make sure the source code copyright headers are up to date, and format the code
|
||||||
|
using the system's
|
||||||
|
.Xr indent 1 .
|
||||||
|
This should be run before generating patch files, to ensure that the code follows
|
||||||
|
the project conventions. Note that the provided
|
||||||
|
.Pa .indent.pro
|
||||||
|
assumes an OpenBSD indent, which may cause the GNU implementation to choke. In
|
||||||
|
that case, don't send patch files with totally different formatting; just submit
|
||||||
|
the patch as-is and they will get formatted before committing.
|
||||||
|
.It test
|
||||||
|
Run all of the unit tests and report the results. It is highly recommended to
|
||||||
|
ensure that all the tests pass before submitting a patch, because patches that
|
||||||
|
break the tests are likely to be rejected.
|
||||||
|
.It site
|
||||||
|
Deploy the Telodendria website by generating HTML files for the documentation,
|
||||||
|
and copying them along with the front page to the specified web root. This is
|
||||||
|
used to deploy the official website, but it could be used to deploy a local
|
||||||
|
development site as necessary. See
|
||||||
|
.Em ENVIRONMENT .
|
||||||
|
.It release
|
||||||
|
Generate a release tarball, checksum and sign it, and push it to the web root.
|
||||||
|
See the relevant environment variables below.
|
||||||
|
.It patch
|
||||||
|
Generate a formatted patch file. The Telodendria project isn't super picky about
|
||||||
|
how patches look as long as they apply cleanly, but this recipe generates patches
|
||||||
|
in the format we like them, and is therefore recommended. It makes patches easy
|
||||||
|
to read. This recipe will use your configured editor to open your formatted patch
|
||||||
|
so you can review and edit it as necessary before sending it off.
|
||||||
|
.It diff
|
||||||
|
Generate a temporary preview patch that is opened in the system pager. This can
|
||||||
|
be used for quickly quickly previewing your changes and the patch file you'll
|
||||||
|
be creating.
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
||||||
|
Any of the following environment variables are used in the build recipes.
|
||||||
|
They can all be specified in your shell when invoking
|
||||||
|
.Nm ,
|
||||||
|
or they can be placed in a
|
||||||
|
.Pa .env
|
||||||
|
file. For most of these variables, if you would like to append or prepend
|
||||||
|
to the default values, do so in the
|
||||||
|
.Pa .env
|
||||||
|
file, which is sourced after the defaults are set, allowing you to reference
|
||||||
|
the default values in your new value.
|
||||||
|
.Bl -tag
|
||||||
|
.It Ev CC
|
||||||
|
The C compiler to use. This defaults to
|
||||||
|
.Pa cc,
|
||||||
|
which is usually a symlink to your system's preferred compiler. If for some
|
||||||
|
reason you want to use a diferent compiler, do so with this environment
|
||||||
|
variable.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev CFLAGS
|
||||||
|
The compiler flags used to generate object files.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
comes with reasonable defaults that shouldn't need to be changed in most
|
||||||
|
scenarios, but if you do need to change the compiler flags, you can do
|
||||||
|
so with this environment variable.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev LDFLAGS
|
||||||
|
The compiler flags used to link the object files to create an output
|
||||||
|
binary.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
comes with reasonable defaults that shouldn't need to be changed in most
|
||||||
|
scenarios, but if you need to change the linker flags, you do so with this
|
||||||
|
environment variable.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev PROG
|
||||||
|
The name of the output binary. This defaults to
|
||||||
|
.Pa build/telodendria.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev DEFINES
|
||||||
|
Global preprocessor definitions to append to
|
||||||
|
.Ev CFLAGS.
|
||||||
|
This is just kept separate to keep things organized.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev INCLUDES
|
||||||
|
Header directories to make available. This is appended to
|
||||||
|
.Ev CFLAGS,
|
||||||
|
it is just kept separate to keep things organized.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev DEBUG
|
||||||
|
If set to "1", append some debug flags to
|
||||||
|
.Ev CFLAGS
|
||||||
|
and whipe out any
|
||||||
|
.Ev LDFLAGS
|
||||||
|
that awould cause the output binary to be optimized in any way. This also
|
||||||
|
depends "-debug" to
|
||||||
|
.Ev PROG .
|
||||||
|
.It Ev TELODENDRIA_VERSION
|
||||||
|
This variable does make its way into the output binary, but it is primarily
|
||||||
|
used for generating and publishing releases. This variable affects the
|
||||||
|
.Sy release
|
||||||
|
recipe.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev TELODENDRIA_PUB
|
||||||
|
The web root where the Telodendria website lives. This is where the site
|
||||||
|
is pushed to, and where generated releases go.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev PATCHSET
|
||||||
|
This variable restricts the files that
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
operates on when generating patches or diffs. If you only want to generate
|
||||||
|
a diff or patch for a certain file, directory, or collection of files and
|
||||||
|
directories, set this variable to those files and directories, separated
|
||||||
|
by a space. You can mix files and directories as necessary.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev MXID
|
||||||
|
Your Matrix ID in standard format. This is used when generating patches,
|
||||||
|
so that you can be assigned credit for your patches, as well as be contacted
|
||||||
|
about your patches.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
will automatically deduce this from your system, but it will most
|
||||||
|
likely get it wrong. Please make sure you are reachable at this ID.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev DISPLAY_NAME
|
||||||
|
The display name you want to appear on your patches. This should probably
|
||||||
|
match your Matrix display name, although it doesn't necessarily have to.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
will deduce this from your system, and if you set it up properly, you may
|
||||||
|
not even have to set this variable. If
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
gets it wrong, this allows you to override your display name.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev EDITOR
|
||||||
|
Your preferred editor for writing patch file descriptions. This can be a
|
||||||
|
GUI or terminal editor. If unset, this defaults to the system's
|
||||||
|
.Xr vi 1
|
||||||
|
editor.
|
||||||
|
.It Ev PAGER
|
||||||
|
Your preferred pager for previewing patches. If left unset, this defaults
|
||||||
|
to
|
||||||
|
.Xr less 1 .
|
||||||
|
.Sh FILES
|
||||||
|
.Bl -tag
|
||||||
|
.It Pa .env
|
||||||
|
An environment file that contains lines in the form of
|
||||||
|
.Pa VARIABLE=value
|
||||||
|
with environment variables to set in the
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
script. See
|
||||||
|
.Em ENVIRONMENT .
|
||||||
|
Note that
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
simply sources this file, which means that any shell code in it will be
|
||||||
|
executed each time
|
||||||

||||||
|
is invoked.

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
is a Matrix homeserver written entirely from scratch in ANSI C.
|
||||||
|
It is designed to be lightweight and simple, yet functional.
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
The options are as follows:
|
||||||
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
||||||
|
.It Fl f Ar file
|
||||||
|
Specify an alternate configuration file. The default is
|
||||||
|
.Pa /etc/telodendria.conf .
|
||||||
|
.It Fl n
|
||||||
|
Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
|
||||||
|
.It Fl V
|
||||||
|
Only print the version information header.
|
||||||
|
.It Fl v
|
||||||
|
Verbose mode. This overrides the configuration file and sets the
|
||||||
|
log level to
|
||||||
|
.Em LOG_DEBUG
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
does not read any environment variables. All configuration should
|
||||||
|
be done via the configuration file.
|
||||||
|
.Sh FILES
|
||||||
|
Just the configuration file and the data directory; see
|
||||||
|
.Xr telodendria.conf 5
|
||||||
|
for more details.
|
||||||
|
.El
|
||||||
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
exits with a non-0 exit code if the configuration file is invalid, or
|
||||||
|
one or more required paths is inaccessible.
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
will print an error to the log and then terminate abnormally.
|
||||||
|
.Pp
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
exits with a code of 0 if the configuration file is valid, all
|
||||||
|
paths and files required are accessible, and the HTTP listener starts
|
||||||
|
as intended. If
|
||||||
|
.Nm
|
||||||
|
is sent a signal that it catches after it begins servicing requests, it
|
||||||
|
will still exit with a code of 0 after it safely shuts down, because
|
||||||
|
the bootstrap process completed successfully, and by all accounts,
|
||||||
|
it ran normally and exitted normally.

|
|
||||||
reach out for support. Just join the
