# A2SERVER
|
||||
AppleTalk server for Apple // computers
|
||||
AppleTalk server for Apple // computers developed by Ivan Drucker
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation here is sparse for the moment; see [Ivan's site]() for
|
||||
information about A2SERVER and how it all works. There's a lot there and it's
|
||||
kind of evolved organically over the years just as the scripts themselves
|
||||
have, so it's going to be awhile before that information can be backfilled and
|
||||
perhaps organized into something you might call a user manual.
|
||||
|
||||
Such a manual should not be considered a replacement for Ivan's organic online
|
||||
documentation--those contents themselves represent Apple // history, if a
|
||||
relatively modern piece of it. As such they should be preserved as they are.
|
||||
|
||||
## Developer note
|
||||
|
||||
To use the scripts on a server other than Ivan's, you need to do two things.
|
||||
First, the server needs to be modified to serve setup/index.txt and
|
||||
update/index.txt the same way they would serve index.html. How you do that is
|
||||
beyond the scope of this repository for the moment. Secondly, you'll want to
|
||||
set the shell variable A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL to the base URL of this repository
|
||||
on your server. The base-URL should be slash-terminated. You can then run
|
||||
the following snippet:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wget a2server-setup ${A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL}setup/; source a2server-setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should probably export A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL in your .bashrc or whatever
|
||||
file configures your development environment. Also be advised that as of
|
||||
version 1.24 of A2SERVER, you must use the snippet above.
