Building

Requires git and go

go get -insecure git.dn42.us/burble/dn42regsrv

Running

Use --help to view configurable options

${GOPATH}/bin/dn42regsrv --help

The server requires access to a clone of the DN42 registry and for the git executable to be accessible.
If you want to use the auto pull feature then the registry must also be writable by the server.

cd ${GOPTH}/src/git.dn42.us/burble/dn42regsrv
git clone http://git.dn42.us/dn42/registry.git
${GOPATH}/dn42regsrv

A sample service file is included for running the server under systemd

Using

By default the server will be listening on port 8042.
See the API.md file for a detailed description of the API.
