|
|
|
Built with Tailwind CSS, EJS, Express.js, and Node.js for a backend for it all.
|
|
This is a more modern version of design.
|
|
This project is released under the CC0-1.0 license. The code and content are in the public domain.
|
|
|
|
# Install and self-host
|
|
Have a weird obsession? Want a pre-built site you can use for free? Host aidxnFUN!
|
|
As the code is available under the CC0-1.0 license, which means you should feel free and encouraged to change content, design, whatever!
|
|
During this process, `node` (20.08.0), `npm`, and `netcat` will be installed on your computer.
|
|
|
|
Please note the /status endpoint will be broken with the original servers as CORS is blocked on sites not requesting from my personal domain.
|
|
|
|
## Debian/Ubuntu/Other Debian-based systems
|
|
1. Clone the repo
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ihatenodejs/aidxnFUN
|
|
cd aidxnFUN
|
|
```
|
|
2. Setup `manage`
|
|
```bash
|
|
./manage setup
|
|
```
|
|
3. Start the server
|
|
```bash
|
|
./manage up
|
|
```
|
|
A server will now start on port :5566, and be accessible from your web browser at http://localhost:5566/. I highly suggest creating a NGINX reverse proxy for this, especially if you plan to point this to a domain.
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
Windows support is still in the works, however it is possible to run aidxnFUN under Windows.
|
|
|
|
1. Install NodeJS and NPM for Windows from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/)
|
|
2. Open a Node.js command prompt
|
|
3. Clone the repo
|
|
```bat
|
|
git clone https://github.com/ihatenodejs/aidxnFUN
|
|
cd aidxnFUN
|
|
```
|
|
4. Build the app
|
|
```bat
|
|
npm run winbuild
|
|
```
|
|
5. Run the app on port 5566
|
|
```bat
|
|
set PORT=5566 && node app.js
|
|
```
|
|
You may use the `PORT` variable to set a custom port. While Windows tends to default to 3000, we will use 5566, which is the default for aidxnFUN on Linux.

# How it works
|
|
This website uses Node.js, Express.js for a server, EJS for templating, and Tailwind CSS for the frontend CSS.
|
|
The `manage` script uses all of those tools to manage the server for you executes the repetitive tasks for you automatically.
|
|
The views contain both regular page shards (full-ish pages) and generic shards (fragments of pages, widgets, etc.). I define a "shard" as an EJS template, which are pieced together into a pretty little website. The shards hold individual elements like music widgets, while a regular page shard is the page that contains the music widget, which the end user sees. This is helpful for understanding the code.
|
|
|
|
Thus far, shards are included for a music widget, the header, and the footer of the pages.
|
|
|
|
Music (as featured on the home page) is fetched from an API (hosted on https://biancarosa.com.br), which I am in the process of setting up for myself. It works with a LastFM account (I linked this to my Spotify) and can track your live listening with amazing accuracy. The repo can be found at [biancarosa/lastfm-last-played](https://github.com/biancarosa/lastfm-last-played).

# Using the `manage` script
|
|
You may have noticed you have a `manage` file after cloning.
|
|
`manage` is a command-line tool to manage the server. It can automatically start, stop, and restart your instance.
|
|
This script only supports Linux-based systems.
|
|
First, you must complete the setup with the following commands:
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x manage
|
|
./manage setup
|
|
```
|
|
After doing that, you are now ready to use the script.
|
|
|
|
## `manage` usage
|
|
`./manage [command] [options]`
|
|
|
|
## `manage` commands
|
|
+ `./manage up` - Builds the project and starts the server.
|
|
+ `./manage down` - Stops the server.
|
|
+ `./manage restart` - Restarts the server.
|
|
+ `./manage status, -s, --status` - Checks if the server is running.
|
|
+ `./manage help, -h, --help` - Shows the help message.
|
|
|
|
# Troubleshooting
|
|
I highly suggest you take a peek at the `node.log` file's contents. It's in the same directory as the `manage` script. This file contains the NodeJS server logs, which can be very helpful for debugging and/or troubleshooting.
