This is the server backend for showterm.

It’s hopefully available on the internet at https://showterm.io.

Private server

If you’d like to run your own showterm server it should “just work”. For small installations you can use the builtin server that comes with rails in a few easy steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/ConradIrwin/showterm.io
2. Set up a database (I’ve only tested postgres), and add a config/database.yml
3. bundle install
4. create a database.yml file in the config directory
5. bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
6. rails s

You’ll also need to configure your user’s showterm clients by adding export SHOWTERM_SERVER to their ~/.bashrcs.
