 avoid it, install with `go install -tags nofilter git.lattuga.net/boyska/circolog/...` and your binaries will

+## Why not on github.com
+
+We love collaboration between people, and software development can be
+a wonderful playground. Nevertheless, we are not comfortable with the
+social-neworkish nature of github. Also, the choice of a platform is something
+that is meaningful in itself. Fortunately `go` allows to pull packages from any
+git server that is publicly available. Therefore do not be afraid of go-getting
+from git.lattuga.net.
+
+lattuga.net is a self-managed server, run with clear principles of not-for-profit and antifascist nature.
+
+We think using situated, decentralized tools and networks is fundamental to get a technological landscape that
+doesn't lead to oppression.
+
+### So how to collaborate
+
+Pull request is not the only paradigm for collaboration :)
+
+If you want to collaborate to the software, either drop a mail to
+<indirizzo@scamuffo.com>. We are also reachable at [IRC irc.mufhd0.net]

+Circolog proposes a different approach to the problem of having useful logs.
+
+Circolog is a syslog server which doesn't write to disk. Ever. It doesn't
+consume tons of RAM like elasticsearch/logstash, nor does it give you plots and
+a very long history. It is however a very useful tool when you want to minimize
+disk writes. We wrote it thinking about user privacy: your logs can be just as
+sensitive as your database if you log too much!
+
+[Spiegone su casi d'uso, buttare i log, debuggare rapidamente magari
+applicazioni verbose, eccetera]
+
+## Why it is cool in 2 minutes
+
+- It keeps your users safer.
+
+- Read logs conveniently: filter with a proper (and easy) query language!
+  `grep` is powerful, but sometimes you want something more expressive:
+
+```
+circolog-tail -where 'prog=="apache" and msg LIKE "%memory%"'
+circolog-tail -where '(prog=="apache" OR prog LIKE "php%") AND msg LIKE "%memory%"'
+circolog-tail -where 'prog=="mysql" OR sev >= warning'
+```
+
+- Colors: highlight severity and visually group related message
+
+    [screenshot]
+
+    It's not only about being nice, we swear! Coloring logs also means reaching the
+    most important entries easily, and grouping related entries together. Output
+    logs in the format you prefer _now_. Depending on what you're doing, log format
+    might be useful... or distracting. For example, how many times have you used
+    the `hostname` part of it? With the common disk-based logging, you need to
+    choose once and for all how your logs will be saved.
+
+
+- Hackable: we think that `circolog-tail` is pretty cool, but you definitely can
+  reuse simpler tools to get logs and filter them the way you prefer. Clients
+  can read logs using plain HTTP (or websocket). Most of the cool features of
+  `circolog-tail` are actually implemented server-side, so you can use filters
+  (or other options) with any client.
+
+
+- Fast, secure by default (?), easy to deploy. Those are features that you
+  should expect, not be surprised of! Circolog can easily process thousands
+  of log entries per seconds, has sane defaults and can be deployed as a single
+  binary.
+
+
+## Security considerations
+
+While we try our best not to introduce vulnerabilities, this software is not
+meant to be exposed on the wider internet. Beware of binding it on something
+different from `localhost`.
+
+Even without being exposed, care must be given to socket permissions: don't let
+unprivileged users read your logs! We suggest that you use a dedicated
+user/group to run circolog, and make root part of that group.

+## Installation and Configuration
+
+
+If you trust us, just get the compiled binaries and copy them to
+`/usr/local/{s,}bin/` (but you shouldn't: [TODO: compiling -> altra pagina]).
+
+Running circolog is pretty easy: just run `circologd` by hand or in your
+favourite service manager: here are some contrib scripts for SysV, systemd,
+supervisor... but consider them as hints, don't just copy them!
+
+[TODO: add scripts]
+
+### System Integration
+
+While circologd can be your only syslog daemon, you might want to couple it
+with another syslog to have the best of both worlds. For example, you could use
+rsyslog (or syslog-ng) to write important (ie: `priority >= notice`) log to
+persistent storage, letting circolog handle short-term but heavily detailed
+logs.
+
+Or you could make circolog get messages from `journald`. While possibilities are
+endless, we tried to document some common setups.
+
+#### Use Case: circologd as the only syslog
+
+[mica lo so se funziona, credo di no, ma proviamo] bind it to `/dev/log`.
+
+#### Use Case: circologd receiving messages from syslog-ng
+
+Put this in `/etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/circolog.conf`
+
+```
+destination d_circolog {
+	unix-dgram("/run/circolog/syslog.sock"
+			flags(syslog-protocol)
+		   );
+};
+log { source(s_src); destination(d_circolog); };
+```
+
+This doesn't tell syslog-ng not to log to disk.
+
+Change `/etc/syslog-ng.conf` according to your need.
+
+#### Use Case: circologd receiving messages from rsyslog
+
+rsyslogd can easily be configured to send every message to circolog:
+
+```
+$ModLoad omuxsock
+$OMUxSockSocket /tmp/circolog.sock
+*.* :omuxsock:
+```
+
+If you want to force messages of level `debug` and `info` not to be logged to disk, you can put this snippet
+at the **top** of the rules
+
+```
+$ModLoad omuxsock
+$OMUxSockSocket /tmp/circolog.sock
+*.* :omuxsock:
+*.=debug;*.=info stop
+```
+
+#### Use Case: circologd receiving messages from journald
+
+[TODO: il codice va ancora scritto: bisogna bindare /run/systemd/journal/syslog
+con formato != rfc5424]

+Query language
+==============
+
+Circolog uses a sql-inspired query language. If you know SQL, then you can use
+"where clauses" in circolog. If you don't know SQL, don't worry: the language
+is easy enough for you to learn the most basic queries without worrying too
+much.
+
+You can only filter the rows, you can't sort them or group them in any way.
+
+Reference
+---------
+
+Available fields:
+
+ - `msg`: the string with the main information
+ - `prog`: also known as "program" sometimes
+ - `facility`: an integer describing auth, daemon, user, etc.
+ - `host`: the hostname where the entry originated
+ - `time`: date in format `2019-01-07T15:28:58+01:00`
+ - `sev`: an integer describing severity

+    [Install]
+    WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+## Journald
+
+None of those are integrated with journald, however. The simplest way to integrate with journald is the
+following.
+
+First of all, ensure `ForwardToSyslog=yes` in `/etc/systemd/journald.conf`.
+Then, you need to run circologd as root and bind it [to a special
+address](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journald.conf.html#Forwarding%20to%20traditional%20syslog%20daemons).
+Ok, you don't strictly _need_ to run it as root, but that's the easiest way to run it.
+Here is a working unit for this:
+
+    [Unit]
+    Description=In-memory logging
+
+    [Service]
+    User=root
+    Group=adm
+    ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/circologd -syslogd-socket /run/systemd/journal/syslog -buffer-size 2000 -query-socket /run/circolog/query.sock
+
+    [Install]
+    WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+### journald with socket activation
+
+To run circologd as non-root, while listening on a root-owned socket (`/run/systemd/journal/syslog`) use
+socket activation. Create a unit in `/etc/systemd/system/circolog.service`:
+
+    [Unit]
+    Description=In-memory logging
+
+    [Service]
+    User=nobody
+    Group=nogroup
+    ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/circologd -syslogd-socket "" -buffer-size 2000 -query-socket /run/circolog/query.sock
+
+    [Install]
+    WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+Then symlink the `syslog.service` unit to the newly created one:
+
+    ln -sf /etc/systemd/system/circolog.service /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service
+
+and restart the service:
+
+    systemctl daemon-reload
+    systemctl restart syslog.service
+
+Now circolog is activated and receives messages from `journald`.
