SUDS is a Simple UDP Data Store. Basically, you send it properly crafted (it's not hard I promise) JSON over UDP packets, it stores that data in a SQLite DB, and will give it back to you via HTTP. The concept came about for two reasons:
- I needed to learn Go, so what better way than writing a simple program.
- I needed a simple "buffer" area for an IoT project I am working on. Instead of using bulky client TCP code, I figured the code to barf out UDP packets will be significantly smaller and easier to write.
SUDS is currently in 0.1 version. It's meant to be minimal, not complex, and intentionally not secure. (So please don't tell me to put all kinds of security stuff in.)
This is pretty darn simple
To install via go get:
go get github.com/uberlinuxguy/suds
Otherwise, you can clone and build manually:
git clone https://github.com/uberlinuxguy/suds.git
cd suds
go install
This will build suds into your $GOPATH/bin directory. You can run it from there, but where you run it, SUDS will create a suds.db file. You should always make sure you run SUDS from the same directory to maintain state. Perhaps some day I will build in a preferences to set the db path, name, and some other stuff, but hey, this is 0.1 man!
From here, you can check SUDS JSON UDP Packet Structure for how to send data to SUDS. SUDS takes UDP data in on port 10001. Then, when you are ready to grab the data, you hit the SUDS computer on port 8080. For example: http://suds-server:8080/dump/myTable
