Planned Features

  • Server maintenance mode
  • Security: error out if a certificate’s permissions are too open, and don’t start that server if so
  • UPnP to open ports for servers - must be manually enabled
  • Finish NPS implementation (NPS Form)
  • Misfin Server implementation: Misfin(B) and Misfin(C)
  • Multi-user (pubnix) system setup
  • Dynamic DNS setup
  • SIS Manager User Management
    • User permissions: access to specific servers, restrictions on host setup (mainly the bind_address and ports)
    • Upload TLS certs
    • Disk space quota
    • Restrict CGI/SCGI
    • Hosting registration: allow user registration for hosting.
    • Dynamic DNS and Domain Name setup
  • File Management
    • File explorer over Gemini
    • Titan upload (add new, delete, edit)
    • Keep track of which version of page being updated: extend Titan and Gemini to use an identifier?
  • Deployment - deploy static content to a server’s serve directory
    • vcs projects
  • Auto-start SCGI application servers that SIS will communicate with
  • Use unix-domain sockets or pipes for SCGI application servers
  • CGI/SCGI
    • PATH_TRANSLATED
    • Authorizers
    • Non-parsed header scripts/application servers
  • Internationalization
  • Tor Onion Services
  • Reverse Proxy
  • Improved Gopher Protocol support
    • Gophermap files
      • Automatically add hostname and port to all lines that are missing them
      • Include other gophermaps within a gophermap
      • Need a way to link to files outside of server directory?
      • Cache them?
  • Streaming
  • HTTP(S) Proxying
  • Load Balancing
  • Related Project Extensions
    • Wiki System
    • Code Management (Issue Tracker, etc.)
    • Music and Radio Hosting
    • Video Hosting
  • FastCGI?
    • Can handle multiple requests over one connection (internal multiplexing)
    • Can also use multiple connections instead
  • Gemini Proxying
    • Since gemini allows you to put any URL in a request, you can use a gemini server as a proxy for other protocols (like http(s)).
    • The multiplexer should be able to handle passing requests off to these proxy handlers.
  • PSGI (Perl), JSGI (Javascript), Rack (Ruby), AJP, WSGI -> ASGI
  • ?Support HTTP/HTTPS servers using another go library (or http package)?
