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

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/juls0730/gloom.git

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 clear the PRELOAD_PLUGINS environment variable and set it to your preferred management interface, or nothing at all if you don't want to use a management interface.

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.
PRELOAD_PLUGINS - A json array of plugins to preload. The default value of this is gloomi, this is how GLoomI is loaded by default, and how replacement interfaces can be loaded. The format is in json, and the default value is:
```
[{"file": "gloomi.so", "domains": ["localhost"]}]
```
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.
