telnet_server

...because nothing beats the charm of the seventies!

Goals

This lib should provide everything to build a service (based on TELNET) without having to touch any TELNET or tcp specifics. Message communication should only happen between this lib and the code providing the service.

See src/bin/main.rs on how I think this should work.

Status

Non functional and heavily WIP. DO NOT USE!

Running TELNET

As TELNET is not anymore part of modern operating systems (thank god), I've created a minimal Dockerfile that let's me use TELNET on CLI. TELNET starts via this command:

./telnet/run_telnet.sh HOST PORT

For development, HOST is "host.docker.internal" and PORT is 9000.

For f*cks sake, why TELNET???

Because it looked interesting. Honestly, even if I get it finished, the library likely won't be used at all.
