Joris Vink e6833a4892 Move header files to include/kore.
Mimics how the header files are installed on a system
as PREFIX/include/kore.

This is required for getting kodev to use the headers from the
kore_source option instead of requiring the kore headers to be
installed on the system even when building as a single_binary.

About

Build Status

Kore (https://kore.io) is an easy to use web application platform for writing scalable web APIs in C. Its main goals are security, scalability and allowing rapid development and deployment of such APIs.

Because of this Kore is an ideal candidate for building robust, scalable and secure web things.

Key Features

  • Supports SNI
  • Supports HTTP/1.1
  • Websocket support
  • Privseps by default
  • TLS enabled by default
  • Optional background tasks
  • Built-in parameter validation
  • Optional asynchronous PostgreSQL support
  • Optional support for page handlers in Python
  • Private keys isolated in separate process (RSA and ECDSA)
  • Default sane TLS ciphersuites (PFS in all major browsers)
  • Modules can be reloaded on-the-fly, even while serving content
  • Event driven (epoll/kqueue) architecture with per CPU worker processes
  • Build your web application as a precompiled dynamic library or single binary

And loads more.

Building Kore

Grab the latest release tarball or clone the repository.

Requirements

  • openssl (1.0.2k+ or 1.1.0e+) (note: this requirement drops away when building with NOTLS=1 NOHTTP=1) (note: libressl should work as a replacement)

Requirements for background tasks (optional)

  • pthreads

Requirements for pgsql (optional)

  • libpq

Requirements for python (optional)

  • Python 3.6+

Normal compilation and installation:

$ cd kore
$ make
# make install

If you would like to build a specific flavor, you can enable those by setting a shell environment variable before running make.

  • TASKS=1 (compiles in task support)
  • PGSQL=1 (compiles in pgsql support)
  • DEBUG=1 (enables use of -d for debug)
  • NOTLS=1 (compiles Kore without TLS)
  • NOHTTP=1 (compiles Kore without HTTP support)
  • NOOPT=1 (disable compiler optimizations)
  • JSONRPC=1 (compiles in JSONRPC support)
  • PYTHON=1 (compiles in the Python support)

Note that certain build flavors cannot be mixed together and you will just be met with compilation errors.

Example applications

You can find example applications under examples/.

The examples contain a README file with instructions on how to build or use them.
