OVM

[Mikemk]

This program purpose is twofold: hosting private virtual (a.k.a cloud) servers not visible to the general public; and as a free replacement for paid tethering apps. Currently, only limited functionality of the first portion is implemented.

This is still a pre-alpha, and the code base is messy, so don't judge me for errors. It can communicate using HTTP identity on the same IP address. (Meaning that you have to use a virtual machine which can be configured to use the same ip address). To my knowledge, no changes occur to the external network.

Disclaimer: I may not be held liable for anything that occurs as a result of using this program.

To start the server, open a terminal on host (for linux, commands will vary slightly on windows):

Code: Select all

cd /directory/to/extraction
sudo java entry -p port -f /absolute/directory/to/root/folder/ [-d default_page]

Most messages will be prepended with [Err ], [Dbug], or [Info]

Please send me information of problems with the program, including the log.

Planned future changes:
Enabling access to server from outside current ip address.
Adding a logfile.
Adding scripting support (PHP, others?)
Adding Database support (language?)
Making opensource

Hi, m12. What is this? I see a zip file full of Java files, but that doesn't reveal much.

It's in reference to http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?p=224765#p224765
I didn't consider it appropriate in the OS Development subforum, though.

Sortie +1;
It would help for everybody in the future to be able to see what this does based on the top post alone. It doesn't need to be a huge description but not having a description at all is just going to confuse everyone.

Thank you for the advice. Edited OP.

It's a lot easier to write a program in java than c/c++, and since I only needed 2 to 3 connections, java is sufficient.
