The Defacto2 website is a self-contained application first devised in 2023. It is built with the Go language and can be easily compiled for many platforms and operating systems.

All configurations are optional and any changes to the defaults are made through system environment variables.

Note

The application uses an optional PostgreSQL database connection for data queries. While optional, you'll need this database running and configured if you wish to browse the artifacts, releasers, and sceners.

Download

There are downloads available for Linux, macOS and Windows.

Installation

No installation is required to play around with the web server.

Note

Currently the artifact screenshots, thumbnails and files are not available for download or display. This due to the additional hosting costs.

Installation for the Debian Package

Configuration

The application uses environment variables to configure the database connection and other settings. These are documented in the software package documentation.
