## Build instructions
## Building
- `go get -u github.com/go-bindata/go-bindata/...`
- `go generate ./...`
- `go build ./cmd/rushlink`
## Deploying
We recommend running `rushlink` behind a reverse proxy suitable for processing
HTTP requests, such as `nginx`, or `haproxy`.
## Sample `nginx` config
```
server {
location / {
root /var/www/rushlink;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host rushlink.local;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
}
}
```
`rushlink` automatically detects whether `http` or `https` is used when
`X-Forwarded-Proto` is correctly set. Otherwise, pass `-root_url
https://rushlink.local` to the binary (e.g. in the `systemd` unit file).
## Sample `systemd` unit file
```
[Install]
WantedBy=nginx.service
[Service]
Type=simple
User=rushlink
Group=nogroup
ExecStart=/var/lib/rushlink/rushlink -database /var/lib/rushlink/db -file-store /var/lib/rushlink/filestore -root_url https://rushlink.local
