go 1.11+
Internet connection not included.
-- setup
honk expects to be fronted by a TLS terminating reverse proxy.
First, create the database. This will ask four questions.
./honk init
username: (the username you want)
password: (the password you want)
listenaddr: (tcp or unix: localhost:31337, /var/www/honk.sock, etc.)
servername: (public DNS name: honk.example.com)
Then run honk.
./honk
Refer also to the docs directory, in particular manual.txt.
Busy honk instances may use megabytes of memory.
-- upgrade
cp honk.db backup.db
./honk upgrade
./honk
