System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Sockethub provides a unified gateway that lets web applications talk to a variety of protocols (IRC, XMPP, RSS/Atom) using a single ActivityStreams-based API, removing the need to implement per-protocol adapters in client code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Protocol bridging: Translate ActivityStreams messages to IRC, XMPP, and feeds for real-time cross-protocol apps.
  • Platform isolation: Each protocol runs in its own process, ensuring stability and security.
  • Session-scoped credentials: Encrypted credential storage per client session for secure connections.
  • Extensible architecture: Add new platforms (dummy, feeds, etc.) via a pluggable module system.
  • Use Case: Build a browser chat client that connects to IRC, subscribes to RSS/Atom feeds, and exchanges messages over a single ActivityStreams API.

Quick Start

Install dependencies and start the server:

  • Run bun install to install dependencies.
  • Start Redis locally (e.g., docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis).
  • Launch the server with Redis: bun run dev or production bun run build + bun run start.
