The Dorp Server

The dorp server does two things:

1. Serve current status on /
2. Listen for encrypted update messages the configured tcp port

Configuration

Dorp is configured using a toml file. It should look something like

key = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
statusport = 13699
webport = 8080

key should be a pre-shared key with the client. It must be 32 bytes long.

statusport should be the port to listen on for status updates.

webport is the port that the server will serve pages on.

For documentation on the message format, see protocol.md.

Building and Deploying

Building is trivial: from the server directory, run go build.

To deploy, place the compiled server binary as well as the html/ and static/ directories on the server. Run the server program to start serving. Recommendation: Do it in a tmux, so you can disconect.
