31plcbundle archives AT Protocol's [DID PLC Directory](https://plc.directory/) operations into immutable, cryptographically-chained bundles of 10,000 operations. Each bundle is hashed (SHA-256), compressed (zstd), and linked to the previous bundle, creating a verifiable chain of DID operations.

38## What is plcbundle?
39
40plcbundle is a **format specification** for archiving PLC directory operations:
41
42- **Bundling**: Groups 10,000 operations into compressed, immutable files
43- **Chaining**: Each bundle is cryptographically linked to the previous one
44- **Verifiable**: SHA-256 hashes ensure data integrity throughout the chain
45- **Efficient**: Zstandard compression with ~5x compression ratios
46
47### Implementations
48
49- **Go** (this repository) - Full-featured CLI tool, library, and HTTP server
50- [TypeScript, Python, Ruby](https://tangled.org/@atscan.net/plcbundle-ref/) - Reference implementations
51
52---
53
54## This Implementation (Go)
55
56This Go implementation provides:
57
58- 📚 **Library** - Embed bundle operations in your Go applications
59- 💻 **CLI Tool** - Command-line interface for all operations
60- 🌐 **HTTP Server** - Host and serve bundles over HTTP
61- 🔄 **Auto-sync** - Automatically fetch and bundle new operations
62- 🔌 **WebSocket** - Stream operations in real-time
63- 🔍 **Spam Detection** - Built-in and custom JavaScript detectors
64- ⚡ **Performance** - Parallel processing, efficient compression
65- 🐳 **Docker** - Ready-to-deploy containers
66
67## Installation
68
69### Go Install
70
71```bash
72# CLI tool
73go install tangled.org/atscan.net/plcbundle/cmd/plcbundle@latest
74
75# Library
76go get tangled.org/atscan.net/plcbundle
77```
78
79### Docker

84
85```bash
86# Pull pre-built image
87docker pull atscan/plcbundle:latest
88
89# Run CLI
90docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/data:/data atscan/plcbundle info
91
92# Run as server
93docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd)/data:/data atscan/plcbundle serve --host 0.0.0.0
94
95# Or use docker compose
96curl -O https://tangled.org/@atscan.net/plcbundle/raw/main/docker-compose.yaml
97docker compose up -d
98```
99
100### From Source
101
102```bash
103git clone https://tangled.org/@atscan.net/plcbundle
104cd plcbundle
105make build
106sudo make install
107```
108
109## Quick Start
110
111### As a Library
112
113```go
114import plcbundle "tangled.org/atscan.net/plcbundle"
115
116mgr, _ := plcbundle.New("./plc_data", "https://plc.directory")
117defer mgr.Close()
118
119bundle, _ := mgr.FetchNext(context.Background())
120// Process bundle.Operations
121```
122
123[See full library documentation →](./docs/library.md)
124
125### As a CLI Tool
126
127```bash
128# Fetch bundles from plc.directory
129plcbundle fetch
130
131# Clone from remote
132plcbundle clone https://plc.example.com
133
134# Verify integrity
135plcbundle verify
136```
137
138[See full CLI reference →](./docs/cli.md)
139
140### With Docker
141
142```bash
143# CLI usage
144docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/data:/data plcbundle info
145
146# Server mode
147docker-compose up -d
148curl http://localhost:8080/
149```
150
151## Use Cases
152
153- **Archiving**: Create verifiable backups of PLC operations
154- **Mirroring**: Host your own PLC directory mirror
155- **Research**: Analyze historical DID operations
156- **Compliance**: Maintain tamper-evident audit trails
157
158## Security Model
159
160Bundles are cryptographically chained but require external verification:
161- ✅ Verify against original PLC directory
162- ✅ Compare with multiple independent mirrors
163- ✅ Check published root and head hashes
164- ✅ Anyone can reproduce bundles from PLC directory
