maintainer-container

A podman container that gives a kernel subsystem maintainer a local copy of their part of lore.kernel.org and git.kernel.org. It keeps itself up to date, and you set it up once in a browser.

Its short name, LLORE, stands for “local lore”. Everything is on one port, 11043, which spells LLORE too:

http://127.0.0.1:11043/	The dashboard: choose what to track.
http://127.0.0.1:11043/lore/	The mail archive of your subsystems.
http://127.0.0.1:11043/cgit/	The git trees you mirror.
http://127.0.0.1:11043/mcp	An MCP server, for LLM agents.

You can also git clone or git fetch from the same port. b4 can fetch threads from it, and you can read the archive in a mail client over IMAP or NNTP.
