smolboard's backend can be hosted separately from the frontend.
smolboard's backend requires a Unix socket to listen to. This is done to force usage of a reverse proxy that uses X-Forwarded-For.
The default config at ./config.default.toml should have sane defaults to
start. To override this config, make a new ./config.toml file and change that.
If this is the first launch, it is also advised to run ./smolboard create-owner,
which would create a new owner account with the username inside the config. Note
that if the username inside the config is changed, then the old user will become
a regular user, and the new user will become the owner.
To disable the frontend and host them separately, run the backend with -nf and
refer to the frontend section below.
- FFmpeg (optional)
- FFprobe (optional)
smolboard's frontend can also be hosted separately from the backend. To do so,
compile ./frontend/ and run it separately.
The frontend has a default config at ./frontend/config.default.toml that one
needs to change. Specifically, listenAddress should be the HTTP address that
the frontend should listen on, and backendAddress should be the HTTP address
that points to the backend.
