Basking: a place to dump thoughts, jot notes and keep a journal

Plain markdown files, tags by typing #hashtags, a page per day, search,
pin and trash with undo, autosave with conflict warnings, API tokens,
zip export, and the Lightwell dashboard. Includes install.sh, CI and
release workflows.

#!/bin/sh
# Installs (or upgrades) Basking as a systemd service.
#
# curl -fsSL https://git.veillax.com/Veillax/basking/raw/branch/main/deploy/install.sh | sudo sh
# sudo sh install.sh [--start] [--version v0.1.0] [--listen 127.0.0.1:8490] [--source]
# sudo sh install.sh --uninstall [--purge]
#
# What it does:
# 1. downloads the release archive for this machine and checks its SHA-256 (or, with --source,
# clones the repository and builds it with Go),
# 2. installs the binary to /usr/local/bin/basking,
# 3. creates a "basking" user, /etc/basking (settings) and /var/lib/basking (data),
# 4. writes /etc/basking/basking.env and the systemd service,
# 5. tells you what to do next: edit the env file, start the service, watch the log.
#
# Running it again upgrades the binary and keeps your settings; a service that is already running
# is restarted. Add --start to start it straight away instead of editing the env file first.
