CoinCoin (\kwɛ̃kwɛ̃) is a static link sharing website. You found something interresting on the web? Share it with a comment.

In French, "coin" means corner/nook (as an invitation to make it your personnal small place on the internet) but is also the kwak of a duck (ducks are cool).

This was strongly inspired by Shaarli but with the goal of having all the public facing pages in static files. We live in times where the internet is being constantly vandalised by AI bots, having many personnals and lightweight spaces is an act of resistance.

Run

Download the latest release

$ tar xzvf coincoin.tar.gz
$ cp config.ini.example config.ini
$ vim config.ini
$ ./coincoin

See the content of config.ini to set your information.

Deployment

To publish the shared links, you only need to share the generated static files

$ ./coincoin rebuild
$ rsync -rv --delete out/ example.com:/srv/web/coincoin

and serve it using a web server such as NGINX

map $arg_page $page {
 default "index.html";
 "~^[0-9]+$" "page-$arg_page.html";
}
server {
 server_name coin.example.com;
 root /srv/web/coincoin/;
 error_page 404 /404.html;
 location = / {
 try_files /$page =404;
 }
 location / {
 try_files $uri $uri.html =404;
 }
}

If you wish to deploy the CoinCoin binary instead (be able to add links), you must change the username/password first in config.ini (note that CoinCoin is not finished yet, do at your own risks).

$ read -s password; echo $password | argon2 "super salt value here" -e

server {
 # https is required
 server_name coin.example.com
 listen 80;
 location / {
 return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
 }
}
server {
 server_name coin.example.com;
 listen 443 ssl http2;

}
