The readme talks about docker. I’m not a docker user. I did a git clone when I was on a decent connection. ATM I’m not on a decent connection. The releases page lacks file sizes. And MS Github conceals the size:

curl -LI 'https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/archive/refs/tags/v1.31.2-fix.1.tar.gz' | grep -i 'content-length'

output:

content-length: 0

So instead of fetching the tarball of unknown size, I need to know how to build either the app or the tarball from the cloned repo. Is that documented anywhere?

    I can help with this, I’ll PR this to the docs later.

    You’ll need node.js and npm for the minimum node server.

    1. Run npm install to fetch the dependencies.
    2. Build the app with ADAPTER=node npm run build
    3. There should be a new directory, build.
    4. To run the app, do node build/index.js. You can set the documented environment variables, and use PORT= to change the port.
