# Soulseek-rs 🦀
|
|
|
|
## ⚠️WARNING THIS IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND NOT READY FOR USE ⚠️
|
|
|
|
Souleek-rs is an experimental Soulseek library and client built in Rust. It's
|
|
under development and not yet ready for use. Soulseek is a closed-source P2P
|
|
file-sharing network from the 2000s. It's still used by music enthusiasts
|
|
around the world to share niche music.
|
|
|
|
## Project Goals
|
|
|
|
This project is a learning exercise to explore Rust. I've been using Soulseek
|
|
since the early 2000s, so it's close to my heart, and the Soulseek protocol is
|
|
a closed-source network protocol that provides a great opportunity to learn
|
|
about asynchronous and concurrent network programming and reverse engineering
|
|
|
|
It's not intended to be a production-ready client (yet).
|
|
|
|
Since it's a learning project, I have a self-imposed restriction not to use
|
|
external dependencies in the library. This means I can't use any external
|
|
crates that are not part of the Rust standard library. This is a good challenge
|
|
to learn how to build complex systems with only the standard library.
|
|
|
|
In the client crate, external dependencies are allowed for building a rich
|
|
experience. For me, this is a good balance between learning and practicality.

## Project Structure
|
|
|
|
This project is organized as a Cargo workspace with two crates:
|
|
|
|
- **soulseek-rs-lib** - The core library implementing the Soulseek protocol
|
|
- **soulseek-rs** - A CLI client built on top of the library
|
|
|
|
This structure allows:
|
|
|
|
- Other developers to build custom Soulseek clients using `soulseek-rs-lib`
|
|
- Users to install the ready-made client via `cargo install soulseek-rs`
|
|
- Clean separation of concerns between protocol implementation and user interface
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### For Users
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo install soulseek-rs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### For Developers
|
|
|
|
Clone and build from source:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone git@github.com:michel/soulseek-rs.git
|
|
cd soulseek-rs
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The binary will be available at `target/release/soulseek-rs`.
|
|
|
|
### For Library Users
|
|
|
|
To build your own Soulseek client, add to your `Cargo.toml`:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[dependencies]
|
|
soulseek-rs-lib = "0.1.0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
