And here we go: The bloatless PHP Websockets.

I started this project about 7 years ago - more or less as an experiment. I wanted to implement an WebSocket server in PHP. At that time WebSockets were a relatively new topic and there were not many websocket servers you could use. So I decided to fork an existing project and implement most features by myself.

Even though the project did not receive any updates during the last years and was still on PHP5 there was still a little activity on GitHub and I received a mail now and then. This is why I decided to revive this project and move it into the Bloatless organisation.

So here is the Version 2.0 Changelog:

  • Move project to the "Bloatless" organisation and adjust namespaces.
  • Migration to PHP7.
  • Remove SSL support. (Use a reverse proxy if you need SSL!)
  • Remove support for binary frames/data. (Feature was never stable and PHP is just not the best solution for this.)
  • Remove classloader/autoloadign libs.
  • General code cleanup.
  • Migrate CoffeScript to modern vanilla JavaScript.
  • Remove jQuery as dependency.

To be fair: This project is not completely new. I originally released the framework as "ShinyCore" but decided to move it over to Bloatless.

Endocore is a PHP framework which can help you to quickly build applications following the Action-Domain-Responder pattern. It is developed keeping the principles of the Bloatless project in mind: It is easy to understand and contains reusable components.

It comes with a basic architecture for you ADR application, a MySQL query builder and some other features. For a full documentation please visit the Endocore GitHub page.

Such an application may come in handy on servers where you can not install additional software but are allowed to run PHP scripts. In those cases you can use the "Bloatless Munin Node" to get some basic statistics from those machines. By default it includes plugins for: cpu-usage, memory-usage, network interface statistics, disc-usage and uptime and load average. Additional plugins can be added easily with some basic PHP skills.

You can get the munin-node PHP application at GitHub.

]]>Welcome to bloatless.orghttps://bloatless.org/blog/welcome-to-bloatless-orghttps://bloatless.org/blog/welcome-to-bloatless-orgSat, 23 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000This will be the new home of my "shiny" web applications. Currently there is no project website with news and some background information regarding these applications which is why I created this website.

I will move application to this new "namespace" one by one - which does not necessarily mean to simply rename the application. The first project I moved over to the "bloatless project" is the ShinyBlog. I completely rewrote the application and it is now the Bloatless Blog. In fact this website is already created with this new bloat-free software.

My main goal, to write simple and minimal applications, remains and and you can the read a little more about this Mission Statement on the About page of this website.

Stay tuned for more bloatless software ;)
