Articles 🇬🇧 🇨🇳 🇮🇳 🇪🇸 🇨🇿 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇵🇱 🇷🇴 🇷🇺 Open Help: Articles

Use this article index to find practical guides, reference material, security notes, client lists, hublist resources, Verlihub documentation, Lua examples, and operational notes for Direct Connect hub communities.

The index is not a release log. It connects reading material to working pages on the site: hub search, hub profiles, hublist downloads, hub submission, diagnostics, help pages, and articles about server software. When a protocol or file format appears in an article, the surrounding links should point to the route where a user can inspect, download, submit, or test that item.

The library follows the way Direct Connect users and hub owners work. Start with Direct Connect articles when you need DC++ client background, hub search notes, protocol context, or a plain explanation of how public hubs are organized.

If you are working with downloadable lists, read the public hublist guide and then compare it with the live hublist download page. Those pages explain XML, JSON, BZ2, NMDC, NMDCS, ADC, ADCS, and the files that DC++ clients can refresh automatically.

Hub operators should spend time in the Verlihub section. It covers installation notes, Docker setup, locale behavior, and the Lua material used for small hub-side tools such as user-list notices, chat messages, and support scripts.

The broader infrastructure articles stay close to hub operations. OpenWrt, Google indexing, security notes, and resilient communication topics belong here when they help an operator keep a hub reachable, document a service, publish a public address, or diagnose routing and discovery problems.

Use the cards below as entry points. Each card links to a section or article with its own child pages, so you can move from a broad topic such as client software into a focused page about hublists, Verlihub Lua, hub submission, or a specific network task.
