Linx Server

Soon-to-be opensource replacement of Linx (media-sharing website)

Consider it in pre-alpha development stages.

Get release and run

1. Grab the latest binary from the releases
2. Run ./linx-server...

Command-line options

• -b 127.0.0.1:8080 -- what to bind to (default is 127.0.0.1:8080)
• -sitename myLinx -- the site name displayed on top (default is linx)
• -siteurl "http://mylinx.example.org/" -- the site url (for generating links)
• -filespath files/" -- Path to store uploads (default is files/)
• -metapath meta/ -- Path to store information about uploads (default is meta/)
• -fastcgi -- (optionally) serve through fastcgi

Deployment

A suggested deployment is running nginx in front of linx-server serving through fastcgi.
An example configuration:

server {
    ...
    server_name yourlinx.example.org;
    ...
    
    client_max_body_size 4096M;
    location / {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}
