This is the admin manual. For user operation, see .Xr honk 1 . .Ss SETUP .Pp Set up a TLS reverse proxy. .Nm can listen on TCP or unix sockets, but will not terminate TLS. https is a required component for federation. .Pp Make sure to pass the Host header, if necessary (as for nginx). .Bd -literal -offset indent proxy_set_header Host $http_host; .Ed .Ss BUILD Building .Nm requires a go compiler and libsqlite. On .Ox this is the go and sqlite3 packages. Other platforms may require additional development libraries or headers to be installed. Run make. Please be patient. Even on fast machines, building from source can take several seconds. .Ss INIT Run the .Ic init command. .Dl ./honk init This will create the database and ask four questions, as well as creating the initial user. .Bd -literal -offset indent username: (desired username) password: (desired password) listenaddr: (tcp or unix: localhost:31337, /var/www/honk.sock, etc.) servername: (public DNS name: honk.example.com) .Ed .Ss OPERATION Run honk. .Dl date; ./honk >> log 2>&1 Log messages are sent to stderr and should probably be redirected to a file. .Ss CUSTOMIZATION Add custom memes (stickers) to the .Pa memes directory. Image and video files are supported. .Pp Add custom emus (emoji) to the .Pa emus directory. Image files are supported. .Pp Site CSS may be overridden by creating a .Pa views/local.css file. A restart is required after changes. .Pp Custom HTML messages may be added to select pages by using the .Ic admin command. A restart is required after changes. .Dl ./honk admin .Bl -tag -width tenletters .It server Displayed on the home page. .It about Displayed on the about page. .It login Displayed about the login form. .El .Pp .Ss USER ADMIN New users can be added with the .Ic adduser command. This is discouraged. .Dl ./honk adduser .Pp Passwords may be reset with the .Ic chpass command. .Dl ./honk chpass username .Ss MAINTENANCE The database may grow large over time. The .Ic cleanup command exists to purge old data, by default 30 days. .Ss UPGRADE Stop the old honk process. .Dl pkill honk Backup the database. .Dl cp honk.db backup.db Perform the upgrade with the .Ic upgrade command. .Dl ./honk upgrade Restart. .Dl ./honk .Pp There's also a .Pa blob.db file which is important to backup and restore. .Sh SECURITY .Nm is not currently hardened against SSRF, server side request forgery. Be mindful of what other services may be exposed via localhost or the local network. .Sh DEBUG Debug mode may be enabled or disabled by running .Ic debug Ar on|off . In debug mode, secure cookies are disabled and templates are reloaded every request. .Sh ENVIRONMENT Image processing and scaling requires considerable memory. It is recommended to adjust the datasize ulimit to at least 1GB. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr intro 1 , .Xr honk 1 .Sh CAVEATS There's no online upgrade capability. Upgrades may result in minutes of downtime.
