Please log in to irc://irc.freenode.net/unhosted so we can help you get this working on your server.

This code is published under the AGPL license. It is an unhosted website which you can change to turn it into your own unhosted web app. This code is still quite young, and should be considered 'alpha'. We welcome your suggestions and improvements! Here's how you install it:

Get a server with apache and php. For instance, you can get a debian lenny server at rackspace, ssh to it as root, and run:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Now point a domain name (sub-domains are OK) to the server, which will be the domain of your unhosted web app, and put the contents of this tar ball on your server as a directory under the web root, owned by www-data. For instance like this (when ssh'ed into your server as root):

cd /var/www
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/unhosted/unhosted/tarball/master
tar -xzvf master
mv unhosted-unhosted-* my-unhosted-website
chown -R www-data /var/www/my-unhosted-website
rm master

Edit line 3 of apache2.conf to replace 'www.example.com' with your own domain name.

Now configure apache:

mv my-unhosted-website/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/my-unhosted-website
a2ensite my-unhosted-website
a2enmod dav
a2enmod dav_fs
a2enmod headers
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

After that, open the website in your browser and follow instructions from there.

Any bugs or problems, please report them straight into the irc channel and if it is during the daytime in either Europe or the US while you read this, then we'll probably fix them right here and now. The app should be easy to edit to do something more useful than store sandwich ingredients. The app code is on index.html and in the body onload event, it uses:

var unhosted = Unhosted();
unhosted.connect();
unhosted.get("favSandwich");
unhosted.getUserName();

If the user is not logged in, then the connect() command will resolve that by presenting the user with all the necessary login and register screens. When you save the sandwich, it uses:

unhosted.set("favSandwich", value);

and when you close the app, it uses:

unhosted.close();
