Rename the project to shadowsocks-c while retaining ss-* commands, the embedding ABI, and legacy library/package lookup compatibility.
Replace libev with bundled libuv for IOCP/kqueue event backends, expand asynchronous runtime DNS coverage, and add actionlint/Ruff with strict clang-tidy failure handling. Validate native platforms, static builds, packaging, interoperability, sanitizers, and canonical/legacy consumers.
All 22 hosted checks pass at reviewed head a8493250eb.
Fully static Linux builds
The Alpine/musl builder uses Clang with LLD by default and links both third-party dependencies and libc statically.
WITH_STATIC=ON alone only selects static third-party libraries; this image also
passes -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-static and omits shared-library outputs.
The compile, unit/vendor tests and six-method TCP/UDP relay tests run with Docker
network access disabled. The final ELF check rejects interpreters and dynamic
library dependencies. Initial image/toolchain installation requires networking.
From the repository root, export binaries and licenses (ARM64 example):
docker build --platform linux/arm64 -f docker/static/Dockerfile \
--target artifacts --output type=local,dest=build-artifacts/static-linux-arm64 .
Requires Docker Buildx/BuildKit. If Docker Hub is unavailable, add
--build-arg ALPINE_IMAGE=public.ecr.aws/docker/library/alpine:3.24.
An alternate package mirror can be selected with --build-arg ALPINE_MIRROR=https://mirrors.aliyun.com/alpine; APK signature checks remain enabled.
Docker build proxy settings apply to package installation; a broken configured
proxy can be bypassed for this command with empty HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY,
ALL_PROXY build arguments and their lowercase equivalents.
Use --platform linux/amd64 and a different destination for x86-64. Docker needs
a matching native builder or CPU emulation to compile and run the tests for a
foreign architecture. Add --build-arg SS_MINIMAL=ON for the minimal profile.
Build the scratch runtime image using the same cached build stage:
docker build --platform linux/arm64 -f docker/static/Dockerfile \
--target runtime -t shadowsocks-c:static-arm64 .
docker run --rm -p 8388:8388/tcp -p 8388:8388/udp \
shadowsocks-c:static-arm64 \
-s 0.0.0.0 -p 8388 -k example-password -m aes-256-gcm -u
The runtime image has no shell or external plugin executables. Supply any SIP003
plugin and its own runtime requirements separately. Configuration files can be
bind-mounted and passed with -c. Exported binaries run on Linux with the same
CPU architecture; they do not run directly on macOS or Windows.
