💖 bosixnet_webui — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to bosixnet_webui(1), a General Commands Manual page, and honestly? she's serving. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bosixnet_webui — a FastCGI program that passively listens for incoming connections and generates a list of hosts in your IPv6 network. this daemon preps data that may be put directly into /etc/hosts. no cap, that's the whole gig 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bosixnet_webui [options]

that's it. that's the vibe. 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

BOSixNet = Build Own IPv6 Network. iconic acronym behaviour, fr fr.

so like, this project should be useful when you have to administer many computers distributed through different networks and connected via NAT. the way that NAT just blocks everything 😭

in most of cases you may just install miredo, gogoc or any other tunnel broker's software, and these computers will be available via IPv6 addresses. slay. and then BOSixNet includes the collection of tools for automatic updating the list of such hosts. so you don't have to do it by hand. we love a self-care automation moment 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🎀 Generic options

  • -h, --help — show help and exit. bestie said "idk read the help" 😌
  • -v, --version — show version and exit. just the digits, no small talk 🎀

🔥 Special options

  • -b <string>, --prefix-str <string> — set url prefix. default is /bosixnet/. so the url prefix is giving very much slashy slashy 💅
  • -l <dir>, --log-dir <dir> — set directory for auxiliary files. default is /var/tmp/bosixnet. 🍓
  • -c <file>, --confdir <dir> — set config file. default is /etc/bosixnet/bosixnet-webui.conf.
⚠️ heads up girlypop: settings in the config file have lower priority than command line options. so the command line is the main character here, the config file is just the supporting cast 💀

🧚 FILES 🧚

  • /etc/bosixnet/ — directory with configuration files. that's where the secrets live 💜
