-# Upchud
-> File upload service; without stage 4 retardation.
+Sane deployment of [anon's upchud](https://git.xolatile.top/anon/upchud) for nginx.
 
-### Shilling points 🚀:
-* Minimal dependencies
-* CLI friendly
-* Web friendly
-* Optional random upload name mangling
-* Easy to configure
-* Small codebase
-* Traubisoda
+Things that need to change for deployment are the up.chud.cyou nginx file and crontab.
 
-### Depedencies
-* Lighttpd
-* Tcl (base installation)
-
-### Files
-|     File      | Description |
-| :------------ | :---------- |
-| lighttpd.conf | Master lighttpd configuration. Tip: set max upload size here. |
-| upchud.tcl    | Master CGI Tcl script. Tip: simply forked by lighttpd; set finer configurations here. |
-| Makefile      | Short-hands for common operations. |
-| test/*        | Scripts and files used during development. |
-| example\_frontend.html          | Simple web front-end for the service. |
-| example\_frontend.lighttpd.conf | Serves the example front-end. Tip: you could merge this with the master configuration if you wanted one service. |
-
-### Usage
-Lets get hello-world out-of the way:
-```sh
-$ make serve &
-[1] 15225
-lighttpd -D -f lighttpd.conf
-$ curl http://localhost:8080 --upload-file test/test.txt
-http://localhost:8080/out//n6cru4.txt
-$ curl http://localhost:8080/out//n6cru4.txt
-Hello World
-```
-
-Alternatively I could run.
-```sh
-$ make serve &
-[1] 23895
-lighttpd -D -f lighttpd.conf
-$ make front &
-[2] 24105
-lighttpd -D -f example_frontend.lighttpd.conf
+The nginx & crontab files expect:
+```tcl
+set outdir "out/"
+set keep_outdir 0
 ```
-And I could use the web page (localhost:8081 by default) to perform the same task.
-
-The example frontend is perfectly functional, but is meant to be modified.
-Alternatively, you could copy and embed it anywhere else on your site at large.
-
-To learn more about configuration, read the top of `upchud.tcl` and checkout `lighttpd.conf`
 
-### Why?
-Because every implementation of this extremely simple thing is flawed.
-Common faults I witnessed are:
-* CLI is second class with sloppy wrapper scripts and or HTML responses
-* No web support, preventing phoneposting
-* Horrifically convoluted configuration due to poor isolation of responsibilities
-* 6 gorillion dependencies
+keep_outdir is a patched in feature.
