## Compiling
- `mkdir build`
- `cd build`
- Execute one of the following commands depending on your conditions:
- If this is going to be on production (aka is not for debugging),
run `cmake -B . .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`
- If you are debugging Pixwhile, run `cmake -B . .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug`
- `make -j$(nproc)`
## Configuration
Copy `example_config.json` to a file with any name you like
(e.g. `config.json`), then open the copied file and edit the parameters to your
liking. Here's a list of what they are:
- `bind_host` (string): What address to bind to
- `bind_port` (zero or positive integer): What port to bind to
- `image_proxy_url` (string): URL to proxy images to (see https://pixiv.cat/reverseproxy.html), a trailing slash is not needed

Pixwhile is intended to be run behind a reverse proxy (e.g. Nginx), so you
should set your reverse proxy to proxy requests to
`http://localhost:<port in config file>`, and set a `X-Canonical-Origin` header
for all requests coming through to the URL for your instance. For example, if
your instance is at https://pixwhile.example.com, you should set the header to
`https://pixwhile.example.com`.
## Running
Run `./path/to/repository/build/pixwhile` with the path to your copied config
file as an argument
