Install and run
===============
Sausagewiki aims to be simple to get up and running. It is distributed as a
single independent executable for Linux.

 1. Download the latest build of `sausagewiki.xz` from <https://github.com/maghoff/sausagewiki/releases/latest>
 2. Decompress: `xz -d sausagewiki.xz`
 3. Set execution permission: `chmod a+x sausagewiki`
 4. Run: `./sausagewiki wiki.db`

For other platforms you will presently have to build it yourself. Sausagewiki
is built like other Rust projects, with `cargo build`.

Command line arguments
----------------------
    USAGE:
        sausagewiki [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <DATABASE>

    FLAGS:
        -h, --help              Prints help information
            --trust-identity    Trust the value in the X-Identity header to be an authenticated username.
                                This only makes sense when Sausagewiki runs behind a reverse proxy which
                                sets this header.
        -V, --version           Prints version information

    OPTIONS:
        -a, --address <address>    Sets the TCP address to bind to. Defaults to 127.0.0.1
        -p, --port <port>          Sets the listening port. Defaults to 8080

    ARGS:
        <DATABASE>    Sets the database file to use

Sausagewiki will create an SQLite database file with the filename given in the
`DATABASE` parameter and open an HTTP server bound to the configured address,
`<address>:<port>`.
