BLAZEserver
A neat and useless new project. I’m still looking for a catchy translation of “Internationale Vernetzung von unten”.
BLAZEserver is a really, really, REALLY dumb piece of PHP code. It provides a simple URL-based API and allows nothing more but the following:
- Connect to it using the API
- Register a slot with your IP-address
- Request active IP-addresses from the server
- Request the URLs of other servers
- Tell other servers about the servers you know
- Thus building a growing network
What’s the big deal about it? Hell, how do I know!? Sooner or later we’ll find out what we can do with it! For now there is only one goal: Build a network, let it grow! Join in!
Prerequisites:
- PHP 5 or later
- MySQL 5 or later
- That’s the configuration it’s been tested on. Feel free to try different settings and tell me about it
HowTo:
- Download BLAZEserver!
- Unzip the archive
- Rename /conf/config.sample.php to /conf/config.php
- Change the settings in /conf/config.php according to your SQL-server settings
- Upload everything to a directory on your webserver
- Goto whatever your URL is (like http://blaze.tonick.net/api/index.php) to check, if it works
- Post your new BLAZEserver URL on Twitter using the #blazeserver tag
- Write your own application to tell other servers about your new BLAZEserver URL
