+# pond
+
+A small experiment and a place to gather around for [compost.party](https://compost.party).
+
+## Acknowledgements
+
+This repository contains a list of bird names. It's coming from the Wikipedia and was generated like this:
+
+```
+curl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_by_common_name | pup -p '#bodyContent li a[href*=wiki] text{}' | head -n-8
+```
+
+## Running this
+
+### … somewhere else
+
+Build the client files:
+
+```bash
+cd client
+deno task build
+rsync -srvP dist/ compost.party:/var/www/pond.compost.party/html
+```
+
+Install the server's dependencies; fennel will have to be fetched manually because it's not on luarocks
+
+```bash
+cd lua-server
+luarocks make
+fennel server.fnl 12345
+```
+
+The client will try to connect to the server on `/server`, so you need to configure a proxy. This one is used for `pond.compost.party`:
+
+```nginx
+# site config for pond.compost.party
+server {
+	server_name pond.compost.party;
+	root /var/www/pond.compost.party/html;
+
+	location /server {
+            proxy_pass http://localhost:12345;
+            proxy_http_version 1.1;
+            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+            proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### … locally to experiment and change it
+
+Dependencies are described in the `flake.nix` file. If you use [direnv](https://direnv.net/) things should be set up for you as soon as you `cd` ito this folder. If not, use `nix develop .` to manually start a shell.
+
+Start the server like so:
+
+```bash
+cd lua-server
+fennel server.fnl 5174
+```
+
+And the client like so:
+
+```bash
+cd client
+deno task dev
+```
