A web-ui for registering domains, written in modern Perl 5 with Dancer.

Current state

Cyberman was designed to serve .cyb, however it can easily be configured to work with other TLDs. In addition to the default 'cyberpunk' stylesheet, there is a more generic 'light' stylesheet available.

Features

• Lightweight (~50M) server-side application, no database server required
• Lightweight, intuitive web UI
• Produces zone files which can be used by most DNS daemons

Prerequisites

You need a recent Perl 5 version (5.14 or later should do) and some Perl modules. The best way to get these is to install cpanminus (cpan App::cpanminus, curl https://cpanmin.us | perl - app::cpanminus, or better still, use your package manager) and then run cpanm --installdeps . in the repo directory.

You also need SQLite3. To set up the database:

cd /path/to/cyberman
sqlite3 db.sqlite
(sqlite prompt) .read schema.sql
(sqlite prompt) .q

Getting started

Once you've got all that, just run plackup to start a development server. You should probably inspect and alter config.yml first.

Production!

You can deploy cyberman however you want, using Plack. Just make sure you pass -E production - this disables detailed error pages which could be a security risk, and tones down the logging.

Questions, fan mail, etc
