Zoe b8f5bce66c add plugin hosts to seperate plugins from gloomi
This adds a plugin host that seperates plugins from the gloomi process,
allowing for plugins to be unloaded and loaded. This commit also has a
fair amount of other changes, nice to haves and bug fixes, some notable
changes are:
- Highly available reverse proxy from my Flux project
- Improved gloomi functionality

GLoom

GLoom is a plugin-based web app manager written in Go (perhaps a pico-paas). GLoom's focus is to provide and simple and efficient way to host micro-web apps easily. Currently, GLoom is a fun little proof of concept, and now even supports unloading plugins, and gracefully handles plugins that crash, but it is not yet ready for production use, and may not ever be. GLoom is still in early development, so expect some rough edges and bugs and at its heart, GLoom is just a proof of concept, fun to write, and fun to use, but not production ready.

Features

  • Plugin-based architecture
  • RPC-based communication between GLoom and plugins
  • Built-in plugin management system

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Go 1.20 or higher
  • zqdgr

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/juls0730/gloom.git
    
  2. Run the project:

    zqdgr run
    

    or if you want to build the project:

    zqdgr build
    

    and if you want to build the project without the GLoom management Interface (you will not be able to manage plugins wunless you have another interface like GLoomI):

    zqdgr build:no-gloomi
    

    and make sure to set the DISABLE_GLOOMI environment variable to true in the .env file.

Configuring

GLoom is configured using environment variables. The following environment variables are supported:

  • DEBUG - Enables debug logging. This is a boolean value, so you can set it to any truthy value to enable debug logging.
  • DISABLE_GLOOMI - Disables the GLoomI plugin. This is a boolean value, so you can set it to any truthy value to disable the GLoomI plugin.
  • PLUGINS_DIR - The directory where plugins are stored. This is a string value, so you can set it to any directory path you want. The default value is plugs.
