A very fast pixelflut server with full IPv6 support written in C
- SDL2
- libpthread
- libvncserver
- libnuma (numactl)
Use make to build shoreline
By default Shoreline runs in headless mode. In headless mode all user frontends are disabled. Use shoreline -f sdl to get a sdl window for drawing
There are a few more commandline switches:
-p <port> Port to listen on (default 1234)
-b <address> Address to listen on (default ::)
-w <width> Width of drawing surface (default 1024)
-h <height> Height of drawing surface (default 768)
-r <update rate> Screen update rate in HZ (default 60)
-s <ring size> Size of network ring buffer in bytes (default 65536)
-l <listen threads> Number of threads used to listen for incoming connections (default 10)
-f <frontend,[option=value,...]> Frontend to use as a display. May be specified multiple times. Use -f ? to list available frontends and options
-d Disable display of repo url (https://github.com/TobleMiner/shoreline) in upper left corner
When specifying a frontend frontend-specific options may be passed to the frontend. For example the VNC frontend can be configured to use a nonstandard port:
shoreline -f vnc,port=2342
All available frontends and their options can be listed using shoreline -f ?.
Shoreline can easily handle full 10G line speed traffic on half way decent hardware (i7-6700, 32 GB dual channel DDR4 memory @2400 MHz)
On more beefy hardware (2x AMD EPYC 7821, 10x 8GB DDR4 ECC memory @2666 MHz, 6 memory channels) we are at about 37 Gbit/s
These results were obtained using Sturmflut as a client
