lmgcitfy

Important

This is a fork of the upstream service by Matty of NiceCrew.digital, available at https://gitea.nicecrew.digital/matty/lmgcitfy

Changes to this GCI-branded fork are mostly to containerize it and automate builds:

Reconfigured next to output a standalone server bundle

Added GitLab CI

Added Dockerfile

Added docker-compose

Useful for people who can't be fucked to just search for it on GunCAD Index.

How It Works

Go to the site and type a search query
Click Search on GCI for a direct search, or I'm feeling free for a random result
Copy the generated link and send it to whoever needs to learn how to use a search bar
When they open the link, a fake cursor animates across the screen, types the query into the search box, clicks the button, and redirects them to GunCAD Index with a snarky "Was that so hard?" toast

Development

npm install
npm run dev

Development server opens on localhost:5000

Deployment

Build

npm install
npm run build

systemd

Copy the service file and start it:

cp lmgcitfy.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now lmgcitfy

The service expects the app to be located at /opt/lmgcitfy and runs as www-data. Adjust WorkingDirectory and User/Group in the service file as needed.

NGINX

Copy the config and enable it:

cp lmgcitfy.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/lmgcitfy
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/lmgcitfy /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
nginx -t
systemctl reload nginx

Replace example.com in the config with your domain. SSL certificates are expected at the default certbot paths — run certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com if you need to generate them.
