reef-pi web server

[robsworld78]

Does any one know what web server reef-pi runs on? I'm trying to install php on the Pi but that typically goes with Apache, I know reef-pi doesn't use that so what does it use so I can figure out how to install php.

@robsworld78 reef-pi runs its own web server. The server is entirely written in go. It does not use nginx,apache or something like that, we typically use with python or ruby base software.

That's why I couldn't find anything about it, I thought I saw Node mentioned in a document. Is there any way to connect from javascript frontend?

yeah, use the API. the current front end is written in react and connects to the backend. I have also enable CORS recently from another web developer's request. This will allow you to use the API from other javascript front ends

Ha, didn't even think of the API yet I've told many about it. Thanks, I'll check it out.
