Welcome to Orcaha - the lite web based code editor. The focus here is speed and efficiency.

Before you ask anything else, keep in mind a couple of points:

• Orcaha is an EDITOR not an IDE. This is meant for quick, short stints. Don't 'marry' Orcaha as part of your development cycle - always use a full featured rich IDE when you have big projects. Orcaha is means to be LIGHT and QUICK. It's not full featured, and never will be
• This ... I'll let you know.
• Save the whales.

Here are the promises made:

• Complete privacy. No tracking. Self-host.
• *nix + Windows.
• Easy to use. No complexities.
• Multi-user. Add/remove/reset users easily.
• Edit most text formats (monaco), binary formats (hex).
• Multi-document with save viewstate.
• Simple terminal (sans-frills).
• SSL support (with self-signed cert) so you can use it with HSTS hosts.
• Nothing. Else. Period.

How to install:

• Install Python 3.11 - NOT 3.12+ since there's all kinds of issues and honestly it's not fixable at my level
• If using WINDOWS => Install Visual Studio tools if you're using Windows, see the instructions

How to run:

• Edit the config.json to match your needs

• IP address is 127.0.0.1 by default, change it 0.0.0.0 if you wish to listen on all IPs. Or to a single IP that you want the editor running on.
• PORT by default (http port) is 80. Change it to what you like. This is NOT HTTPS.
• SPORT by default (httpS port) is 443. Change it as you need to. This will require an SSL certificate (see the 'SSLs' section below)

• SSLs:

• If you have a valid SSL for your domain, replace the files in the /ssls folder.
• If you don't, just use the self-signed SSLs already provided on the secure port number (config.SPORT).
• If you don't care, just use the IP address with the insecure port number (config.PORT).

• Run at the prompt:

You can add orcaha to your bootup cron (or startup programs in Windows) to get a seamless restore of your editor after a reboot.
