Server-side includes

This webserver inplements serverside includes. This allows you to define something like a sidebar in one place, and then have that be populated on the webpage as its being served to the client.

<!-- #include sidebar.html -->

This is done using include statements as above to load specified files.

We also have the ability to provide arguments to the SSI, such as below. Here, the image name processed6.png is substituded in place of all $1 tags in the SSI target file. This allows a widget-like structure for HTML/CSS/JS development.

<!-- #include image.html processed6.png -->

<a href="#$1"><img src="$1" alt="" height="300" width="300"></a>
<a href="#!" class="lightbox" id="$1"><img src="$1" alt=""></a>

And of course, there are error checks and saftey mesures in place to make sure this can't be abused.

Getting Started

TODO write this section

• Add the dns updater as a cron job crontab -e:

*/1 * * * *    ~/zerver/update_dns.bash > /dev/null

• Generate keys using certbot:

https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=other&os=snap
sudo certbot certonly --standalone --key-type rsa
sudo openssl rsa -in /etc/letsencrypt/live/nicozucca.com/privkey.pem -out /etc/letsencrypt/live/nicozucca.com/privkey_rsa.pem

• Or generate dev keys using openssl:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -sha256 -days 365 -nodes
openssl rsa -in key.pem -out key_rsa.pem

Contributions

I normally say that contributions are welcome, but you really shouldn't use this or contribute to it. I make no claims. This might burn down your PC, summon the FBI to your door, and start a botnet that neither you nor I can control. Buyer beware.
