So, I'm not blogging very often.

It's because I'm..... very very busy?!?!?

jingo

https://github.com/claudioc/jingo

I find the setup instructions to be... confusing.

But I'm getting closer.

1. In an existing git(hub) repo
2. npm i jingo
3. node node_modules\jingo\jingo -s > config.yaml
4. edit config.yaml
   1. set repository => @@'./'
5. node node_modules\jingo\jingo -c config.yaml
   1. which responds with something like Thu Dec 17 2015 14:20:38 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) - Jingo server v1.5.3 listening on port 6067
   2. so browse to http://localhost:6067
   3. which then wants me to authenticate, which doesn't work.

If you follow the readme.md, it has you launch the application well before setting up authentication.

IMHO, if I'm running localonly per the instructions, I shouldn't have to authenticate. But that's just me.

If you keeeeep reading down, there is some more information on seting up authentication.
No examples, are shown, but this is what the applicable section in the default config.yaml file looks like:

You cannot enter a password in plaintext, which is good security, I guess. But again -- if you're running locally, you still have to jump through this hoop.
Set authentication.local.enabled => true

In your shell, execute:

node node_modules\jingo\jingo --hash-string password

So then you can plop it in and see
