Going straight to public board?

Open fallenartist opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

Hi, I've managed to install and run the app, however by default the 'Welcome to WBO' screen appears. Is it possible for the app to bypass this screen and go straight to the public board? Thanks.

Hello, No, it is not possible. But you can configure a proxy in front of WBO to allow accessing only the public board if you want to.

Does clicking on the link below work: https://wbo.ophir.dev/boards/anonymous#0,0,1.0

For say the Hungarian locale, can you click on the link: https://wbo.ophir.dev/boards/anonymous#0,0,1.0?lang=hu

How so? I guess that it would really be not really simple

We have a wiki page abount setting up a reverse proxy such as nginx: https://github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir/wiki/Setup-behind-Reverse-Proxies

And you can use a "return" rule to redirect all boards to the anonymous board: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html#return

Do you have an example configuration? I do have nginx but I found it difficult to set it up for all boards, let alone forcing the public one only...

I don't. But when you get it to work, please update the wiki, so that others can benefit from it too !

I don't think I am able to get it to work. I tried but failed :C

EDIT: Is this really a job that must be done with a reverse proxy? I think this is finnicky at best!
