cyberman

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

Current state

Cyberman was designed to serve .cyb, and the codebase reflects this. Although it is capable of serving any domain, the default config is for .cyb, and the templates/stylesheet are oriented towards cybNIC. We're interested in producing a 'generic' style; if you'd like to contribute to this, do get in touch.

Features

  • Registering domains
  • Unregistering domains

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.
