history
Project history and usage
shadowsocks-rust is the Rust implementation of the Shadowsocks secured proxy system and the official development successor to shadowsocks-libev. It provides local-client, server, manager, service, and URL utilities.
Project history
shadowsocks-rust reimplements the Shadowsocks client and server ecosystem in Rust. The official shadowsocks-libev project now directs future development to this implementation while retaining libev in bug-fix-only maintenance.
Adoption history
The official repository supplies release binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows, container images for multiple CPU architectures, and Kubernetes and Helm deployment material. The input package metadata also records packaging across Homebrew, Alpine, MacPorts, Nix, Pacman, Scoop, and Zypper.
How it is used
Users create a JSON or JSON5 configuration containing server address, port, password, cipher, and optional local listener settings, then run `sslocal -c config.json` or `ssserver -c config.json`. The project also supports ACLs, containers, Kubernetes, Helm, and standalone release binaries.
Why package nerds care
shadowsocks-rust matters to package users as the actively developed successor to the C/libev implementation. It combines portable Rust binaries with a family of focused commands and supports contemporary deployment formats ranging from native packages to containers and Kubernetes.
Timeline
- Early development: The project established Rust implementations of the Shadowsocks local client and server.
- Successor era: shadowsocks-libev designated shadowsocks-rust as the destination for future development.
- 2025: The 1.24.0 release added file and syslog logging and continued dependency and platform maintenance.
Related projects
- It follows the original Shadowsocks protocol and shadowsocks-libev, and shares compatible concepts such as local and server modes, JSON configuration, ACL files, SIP003 plugins, and `ss://` URLs.
