im-a-server

Give your server's hostname a proper home on the Internet.

Self-Host

  1. Clone our Repo

    git clone https://git.pontusmail.org/librecloud/im-a-server
    
  2. Install dependencies

    bun install
    npm install # or use npm
    
  3. Now, you must choose whether to deploy with Docker or start a development server.

Start Development Server

bun dev

A server will now be available on port 3000.

Deploy with Docker

You can edit the default docker-compose.yml file to your liking, then execute the following:

docker compose up -d --build # builds and runs in background

Configuration

Configuration is done through the .tsx files in src/app/config. Don't worry, even if you haven't used Next.js before, it's dead simple to configure.

Some other options may be configured with other methods, which are documented here.

Server Name

Changing the server name displayed on the homepage and in the title of the page can be done by setting the NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_NAME environment variable. You might have to create a new .env file.

Example:

/.env

NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_NAME=example

Services

You can add service names and icons very easily through the /src/app/config/services.ts file. You can use any icon made for React (we suggest React Icons).

Comments have been added to help you import icons and place them in the right spot.
