Webringd

A webring daemon written with the Mongoose web server library

Dependencies

gcc
libc6-dev

Installation

clone this repo in /var/www or wherever really
make
use the systemd file to run it
setup the nginx file to have it proxied

Usage

edit list.txt with the webring members domain names (https:// not needed)
edit the port number or protocol in main.c

Pages

This program produces three main pages for use as links:

/next -- Go to the next site in the webring (from whichever site you are linked from).
/prev -- Go to the previous site in the webring.
/rand -- Go to a random site in the webring.
/ -- The index should be served as a static folder directly by nginx.

If linked to /next or /prev without a HTTP referer in the webring, they will function like /rand.
