The WebGL Playground server implements is the backend for the playground which enables document sharing and the online gallery. It also serves as a proxy to fetch remote models.
The server is implemented in Go, to build it run:
go get -d # One time only to fetch the dependencies
go buildAlternatively, use make server/server in the top-level directory which
will issue these exact commands.
This should result in a ./server binary which you can run to run the
service.
The server by default serves the static site data from the
site/ directory. This directory contains a copy of the toplevel site/directory, with a few small path changes to make it work in a server setting. The location of this directory can be changed using the--site-data`
command line flag.
The data/ directory is used by default to store all of the site data,
including uploaded documents, the gallery database and the uploaded
screenshots for items in the gallery. The location of this directory can
be changed using the --data command line flag.
The main server flags are:
--listen ADDRESS: the address to listen on, defaults to:8000.--data DIR: the directory where service data will be stored, defaults to./data/.--site-data DIR: the directory where the static site data is located, defaults to./site/.--cors-domain DOMAIN: a domain from which to allow CORS requests.--smtp-address HOST:PORT: the address of the SMTP server to use for sending gallery token requests e-mails. Note that for the moment the playground does not use any authentication when connecting to the SMTP server. The default SMTP server address islocalhost:25.--public-host HOST: the publicly accessible address of the playground website. This is primarily used in the token request e-mails to link to the playground.
See ./server --help for all available server flags.
