# A2SERVER
|
|
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'll want to export
|
|
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 -O a2server-setup ${A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL}setup/index.txt; source a2server-setup
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
A simple method for installing from a local subdirectory is to `cd` to it and
|
|
then type `python -m SimpleHTTPServer`. Then
|
|
`export A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL="http://localhost:8000/"`
|
|
or use the IP address of the host machine on your LAN instead of localhost.
|
|
|
|
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.
