# pooler | MatterLinux pool server
Simple MPTP server implementation for serving MatterLinux package pools.
Built on top of [`libmp`](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/libmp).

### Installation
If you are using MatterLinux, this package should be avaliable on the `desktop`
repo, and you can install it with the package manager. If you are not using
MatterLinux you can build it from the source and install it.

To this you will need the following tools and libraries:
- gcc
- make
- [libmp](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/Matter/libmp)
- libinih
- gettext

After installing these dependencies, you should download the latest release.
If you are building this program for development purposes, then you may also
build from the latest commit. However latest commit may not always be compilable.

After obtaining the source code, you can compile the program using the make
tool:
```bash
make
```

To install the binary and the configuration files, you can use the `install` command:
```bash
make install
```

You can also build the program using docker:
```bash
docker build --tag pooler .
```

### Usage

installed in the `/etc/pooler` directory:
```bash
pooler /etc/pooler/config.ini
```
