Please note that the Github Pages demo is not going to work as expected, as it requires a webserver for handshakes between the Operating System and the frontend of this web application.
V A 二ｌｌA (Vanilla Project or Va2) is a webserver-based (Apache2) Desktop Environment application.
It is made to be flexible and cross-platform, however currently focused on Linux machines only.
Being under development it does not have a lot of features; however, there is a lot of native features and
applications that have already been scheduled for development.
The only requirement for this application is Apache webserver, which can be:
- Downloaded for Windows
- Compiled from source
- Or installed as a package, for example:
(Arch Linux)
sudo pacman -Syy apache
(Ubuntu Linux)
sudo apt install apache2
(Termux, Android)
pkg install apache2
Create a new folder called va2.reineimi in the ./htdocs (Windows) or ./http (Arch Linux) directory of your Apache version, then put the contents of this application inside of that folder;
Change your host username and paths in the following files:
(the paths in the examples below are genuine for Arch Linux and doesn't have to be changed on those OS distributions)
httpd.conf
Define _ROOT "/etc/httpd"
Define _DOCS "/srv/http"
Define _LOGS "/srv/http/logs"
...
# Server user for Linux
<IfModule unixd_module>
User _USERNAME_
...
</IfModule>
response.lua
USER = '_USERNAME_'
PATH = '/srv/http/va2.reineimi/'
...
WIN_HTTPD_PATH = 'C:\\Apache24\\bin'server.conf
{
"server_path": "/srv/http/va2.reineimi/",
"server_user": "_USERNAME_",
"downloads": "/home/_USERNAME_/Downloads/"
}
Then put httpd.conf in, presumably, one of these locations (where the old httpd.conf can be found):
C:/Apache24/conf/ (Windows);
/etc/httpd/ (Arch Linux).
To embed any library module, for example va2.js and va2.css, you only need to put the following in your <head> tag:
<script src='https://reineimi.github.io/va2/lib/va2.js' async></script>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://reineimi.github.io/va2/lib/va2.css'>
