# Git based automatic web deployment system
This repository will be automagically pulled by the web server each time something is pushed by a user.

## Symlinks
The following files and directories are linked to areas where they can be accessed by the web server:
  * `index.html` → `*/common/index.html` (the website as seen by the majority of the users, maybe a login page?)
  * `icon.png` → `*/common/icon.png` (self-explanatory)
  * `threadr/` → `*/common/threadr/` (everything else acessible by the web server)
  * `default.html` → `lostcave.ddnss.de/index.html` (http redirect)
  * `admin.php` → `admin.strassenkind.ip/index.php` (future management page, maybe for services, available sites, users, etc?)
  * `strassenkind.php` → `strassenkind.ip/index.php` (future status page)
  * `commands_status.conf` → `strassenkind.ip/commands_status.conf`
  * `commands_ondemand.conf` → `strassenkind.ip/commands_ondemand.conf`

## Variables handled by the deployment script
Here is the place for variables that will be replaced automatically on the server. Using them is encouraged. Using the paths is DISCOURAGED.
This way, it is possible to change folder names around and fix the URLs in one place for all files simultaneously.
  * `%CONTENT_DIR%` → The part of the URL between the domain name and the destination (e.g. https://lostcave.ddnss.de**/common/threadr/**about/)

## Some server variables that might turn out to be useful (example):
{
  "HTTP_USER_AGENT":"Mozilla\/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:73.0) Gecko\/20100101 Firefox\/73.0",
  "REMOTE_ADDR":"10.1.1.3"
}

  * add `private public visible` to `boards`
  * cookie policy and eula
  * make text replacement tool file based
  * %FORCE_LOGOUT%

  * frontend: dropdown menus?
  * internal status site: add fail2ban status
  * add reverse proxy or similar to admin tools to a user account locked external page
  * email verification
  * Navbar build script (navbar.php → variable_grabbler.passX.json)
  * recruit someone
  * separate home and my feed in %NAVBAR% (or redirect seemlessly)
  * allow caching of *some* files
  * put the profile and logout links in a dropdown menu
