In view of the fact there is currently only one directory server, i have setup this backup mirror.

ssdir.playsubspace.com

Please note max simultanious client connections are currently limited to 1.
edit: this has been upped to 10 sim connections now.
edit:

Please not the server is not independent its part of the PSS (Play SubSpace) network.

Rules:
- The server is open for all.
- IPs that attempt or suceed in intentionally crashing the server will be
banned from PSS. (iptables ban)

A second directory server would only work if you can get all of the zones (or at least the major ones) to have this directory server in their server.ini. I hope you can get this done.

Nonetheless, good initiative. Keep it up

What directory server are you running? Catid's?

yes, i'm using catid's, i've modified it very slighlty and i'm running it on linux server.

How did you get it to run on a linux server? With gcc?

Doc Flabby · Posted: Sun Jun 25, 2006 10:10 am Post subject:

wine

i'm lazy

Downtime. I'm currently in the process installing and upgrading other software on the server expect the directory to fully operational again in approx 24h, so if you cant reach it at the moment don't be surprised.

Doc Flabby · Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 3:15 am Post subject:

Directory Server is fully operational, add it to your server.ini!

Maverick · Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 7:45 am Post subject:

Allow more then a single concurrent client (its not like it will get leeched) (and even if it does, its not like MB's of data are send to the client).

Doc Flabby · Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 8:58 am Post subject:

I don't think I explained this very clearly.

As i understand it there is NO limit (or indeed an option to do so) on the number of client (continuum) downloads.

Limit to one (zone client) upload at a time.
Bandwidth isnt a problem my main concern is memory + cpu usage as the server as i'm running other apps on it

These are my settings (defaults):

Code: Show/Hide

[Core]

// No data kickoff delay from subspace
PacketSilenceLimit=2000

// Higher numbers mean faster uploads, but more ploss
MaxReliableInTransit=3

// Decrease this number if you want to minimize b/w
ChunkSize=496

// PriitK's directories aren't compatible
ClusterMode=0

// Maximum number of simultaneous uploads
MaxHosts=1

no this is a serious attempt at providing a directory server.

Its running on a linux vps box (thank you vpslink.com) with 256MB guarenteed RAM served by a shared gigabit connection.

Other services running on it are a webserver (which is running www.getsubspace.com and will be running a new site im still working on ) and a biller and asss.

Oh, alright. Just wondering.

Well, im willing to host your directory on my dedicated server if you would like. Im always willing to help SS

Just contact me and we'll discuss it further. Seeing as how I am the owner of SST, I am willing to insert the directory into the Server.ini of all the zones I host. I can also try and get others to insert it, also.

I will contact you when I get home back from work.

I've just had a look at your website, and a few things have clicked

Maverick · Posted: Sun Jul 02, 2006 5:29 am Post subject:

Hows it going, flabby? Already got some zones hooked up? Are you hosted by Confess now?

Doc Flabby · Posted: Sun Jul 02, 2006 6:05 am Post subject:

Ah confess has some ideas of how to improve CatId's so when i get a chance im going to try and do that.

Maverick · Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 4:24 am Post subject:

Have you checked out the other directory servers out there?
Even Priitk's directory server is downloadable. There is also a 'JEDirectoryServer', no source but looks cool though.

Doc Flabby · Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:52 am Post subject:

CatIds is the only one i found with the source. I'm acctually neglecting this project at the moment for a bit, i seem to have 100s of more important things to do at the moment

Doc Flabby · Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 9:05 am Post subject:

just a reminder to add ssdir.playsubspace.com or just playsubspace.com to your directory server listing in server.ini. Max sim connections has been upped too

Maverick · Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 9:54 am Post subject:

Get all the major zones to do it; asking here won't help you a bit - you have to PM the sysops

Is this tied to the Default billers still? (and is it still online?)

Smong · Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 11:27 am Post subject:

Tied to default billers? As in cloning their lists as well as accepting new entries directly?

Yes ssdir.get/playsubspace.com still work.

Doc Flabby · Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 11:51 am Post subject:

Its still up. The new config settings allowing more connections seem to have improved its performance as well.

Its not tied to any biller.
Its only affiliation is with the PSS billing network. Which hosts the PSSF zones.

It accepts new entries (direct connections) and clones entries it does not have by downloading the zonelist from the main directory server. Thus providing a complete and usable backup/alternative.

Maverick · Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 5:02 am Post subject:

Get more zones to connect to the server!

The main directory server (priitk's) is currently down and the population statistics are showing the statistics coming from ssdir.playsubspace.com.
