go-webring

A go program for managing a webring.

This is originally a fork of Amolith's go-webring, which is used for Fediring.

git clone https://git.sr.ht/~amolith/go-webring
cd go-webring
go build
cp example-index.html index.html
./go-webring

The service runs on port 2857, so you can have NginX/etc. proxy_pass to that port for the domain you want to use as a host.

The index.html is the main webpage of your ring. It can be customized to your liking and a list of the sites in the ring will be addedd in the place of the {{ . }}.

Pages

This program produces four main pages for use as links:

• / -- The index. A mainpage in index.html where you can customize your webring homepage. This lists all sites in the webring automatically.
• /next -- Go to the next site in the webring (from whichever site you are linked from).
• /previous -- Go to the previous site in the webring.
• /random -- Go to a random site in the webring.

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