Phoenix is a rewrite of Fur Affinity in Node.js, in an attempt to improve security and maintainability. It sports a full redesign of code, user interface, and database.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• PostgreSQL
• Redis
• Nginx
• GraphicsMagick
• GnuTLS

Configuration

To get started, create config.json from config.sample.json. Phoenix will read its configuration from here.

sample/ contains sample Nginx configuration. You can get started quickly with its Makefile:

$ make -C sample/
⋮
$ sudo make -C sample/ install NGINX_CONF_DIR=/path/to/nginx/conf/

Then import your new development CA from sample/ca.crt, start Nginx, add an /etc/hosts (or equivalent) entry for ::1 local.furaffinity.net, and visit https://local.furaffinity.net/!

Running the server

1. Run npm install to install package dependencies from npm
2. Migrate the database with node models/migrate
3. Run the development server with node develop
