AWKward

A tiny CGI site written in POSIX AWK.

It serves three small things:

• increment.awk: an embeddable 88x31 increment badge.
• place.awk: a shared 88x31 pixel board.
• guestbook.awk: a tiny append-only guestbook.

Run

./serve.sh

Open:

http://localhost:8000/

Use another port:

PORT=9000 ./serve.sh

Test

./test.sh

Deploy Behind Caddy

Run the CGI server:

cd /srv/awkward
PORT=9000 ./serve.sh

Caddy:

awkward.example.com {
	reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:9000
}

Data

Runtime data is stored in:

• counts/
• place/
• guestbook/

These directories should be writable by the user running the CGI server.
