# @serve.zone/dcrouter

The `ts/` directory is the main dcrouter runtime package. It exposes the `DcRouter` orchestrator, `IDcRouterOptions`, `runCli()`, and the server-side exports that matter when you want to boot the full router stack from code.

## Installation

```

## Core Exports

| Export | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `DcRouter` | Main orchestrator for proxying, DNS, email, VPN, RADIUS, remote ingress, DB, and OpsServer |
| `IDcRouterOptions` | Top-level configuration shape |
| `runCli()` | Bootstrap helper; uses OCI env-driven config when `DCROUTER_MODE=OCI_CONTAINER` |
| `UnifiedEmailServer` and smartmta types | Re-exported email server primitives |
| `RadiusServer` and related types | RADIUS server runtime exports |
| `RemoteIngressManager` and `TunnelManager` | Remote ingress orchestration exports |
| `IHttp3Config` | HTTP/3 configuration for qualifying HTTPS routes |

## Quick Start

```typescript
import { DcRouter } from '@serve.zone/dcrouter';

const router = new DcRouter({
  smartProxyConfig: {
    routes: [
      {
        name: 'local-app',
        match: {
          domains: ['localhost'],
          ports: [18080],
        },
        action: {
          type: 'forward',
          targets: [{ host: '127.0.0.1', port: 3001 }],
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  opsServerPort: 3000,
});

await router.start();
```

## What `DcRouter` Manages

- SmartProxy for HTTP/HTTPS/TCP routes
- `UnifiedEmailServer` for SMTP ingress and delivery when `emailConfig` is present
- DB-backed managers for routes, API tokens, target profiles, domains, records, ACME config, and email domains when the DB is enabled
- embedded authoritative DNS and DoH route generation from `dnsNsDomains` and `dnsScopes`
- VPN, RADIUS, and remote ingress services when their config blocks are enabled
- OpsServer and the dashboard, which start on every boot

## Important Runtime Behavior

- The DB is enabled by default and uses an embedded local database when no external MongoDB URL is provided.
- System routes from config, email, and DNS are persisted with stable ownership and are toggle-only.
- API-created routes are the only routes intended for full CRUD from the dashboard or client SDK.
- Qualifying HTTPS forward routes on port `443` get HTTP/3 augmentation by default.
- The published package exposes the `dcrouter` npm bin through `./cli.js`; `runCli()` is the supported code-level bootstrap entrypoint.

## Use Another Module When...

| Need | Module |
| --- | --- |
| A higher-level client SDK for a running router | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-apiclient` or `@serve.zone/dcrouter/apiclient` |
| Raw TypedRequest request/data contracts | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-interfaces` or `@serve.zone/dcrouter/interfaces` |
| The standalone migration runner | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-migrations` |
| The browser dashboard module boundary | `@serve.zone/dcrouter-web` |
