Setup:

Make sure you have access to the node and npm commands

1. Clone this repo
2. Open server.js and change the variables under the ADJUST header
   • PORT - The port to run the server on. Recommended to leave this as 80
   • MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINT - The http endpoint that the management dashboard is hosted at
   • PASSWORD - The password to use when logging into the server
   • REPO_TITLE - This will show up in the title of the management page
   • COOKIE_SECRET - Change this to a random secret string (used to encode cookies)
   • SSL - Enables SSL anv https. Make sure you follow the steps below to create a certificate first
3. Open index.html and customize it to be the homepage of your repo
4. Open static/Release and change Origin, Label, Codename, and Description
5. Install dependencies with npm install
6. Run the server with sudo node server.js or configure it to run as a daemon

Optional Steps:

If you want to run the the server with https:

• Use something like nginx as a reverse-proxy (I recommend using certbot becuase it is really easy to instantly get an ssl certificate and redirect all http traffic to https)
• Or you can follow theese instructions to setup https:

1. Make a directory ssl/ and add server.cert and server.key (aqquiring the certificate is up to you, I recommend letsencrypt)
2. Set SSL to true in the ADJUST section

NOTE: Binding to port 80 may require root access. If you get an access denied error, make sure you are runnning the command with administrator privileges.
