This Pod acts as your own personal storage space so you can share data with people and Solid applications.** As an open and modular implementation of the [Solid specifications](https://solidproject.org/TR/), the Community Solid Server is a great companion: - 🧑🏽 **for people** who want to try out having their own Pod - 👨🏿‍💻 **for developers** who want to quickly create and test Solid apps - 👩🏻‍🔬 **for researchers** who want to design new features for Solid And, of course, for many others who like to experience Solid. ## ⚡ Running the Community Solid Server Make sure you have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) 18.0 or higher. If this is your first time using Node.js, you can find instructions on how to do this [here](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager). ```shell npx @solid/community-server ``` Now visit your brand new server at [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)! To persist your pod's contents between restarts, use: ```shell npx @solid/community-server -c @css:config/file.json -f data/ ``` In case you prefer to use Docker instead, you can find instructions for this and other methods in the [documentation](https://communitysolidserver.github.io/CommunitySolidServer/latest/usage/starting-server/). ## 🔧 Configure your server Substantial changes to server behavior can be achieved via JSON configuration files. The Community Solid Server uses [Components.js](https://componentsjs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to specify how modules and components need to be wired together at runtime. Recipes for configuring the server can be found at [CommunitySolidServer/recipes](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/recipes). Examples and guidance on custom configurations are available in the [`config` folder](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/CommunitySolidServer/tree/main/config), and the [configurations tutorial](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/tutorials/blob/main/custom-configurations.md). There is also a [configuration generator](https://communitysolidserver.github.io/configuration-generator/). ## 👩🏽‍💻 Developing server code The server allows writing and plugging in custom modules without altering its base source code. The [📗 API documentation](https://communitysolidserver.github.io/CommunitySolidServer/5.x/docs) and the [📓 user documentation](https://communitysolidserver.github.io/CommunitySolidServer/) can help you find your way. There is also a repository of [📚 comprehensive tutorials](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/tutorials/) ## 📑 Cite If the Community Solid Server played a role in your scientific publication, we would appreciate a citation of our [article](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3233/SW-243726). ```bibtex @article{CommunitySolidServer, title = {The Community Solid Server: Supporting research \& development in an evolving ecosystem}, author = {Van Herwegen, Joachim and Verborgh, Ruben}, journal = {Semantic Web}, volume = {15}, number = {6}, pages = {2597--2611}, year = {2024}, doi = {10.3233/SW-243726}, url = {https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3233/SW-243726} } ``` ## 📜 License The Community Solid Server code is copyrighted by [Inrupt Inc.](https://inrupt.com/) and [imec](https://www.imec-int.com/) and available under the [MIT License](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/CommunitySolidServer/blob/main/LICENSE.md). ## 🎤 Feedback and questions Don't hesitate to [start a discussion](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/CommunitySolidServer/discussions) or [report a bug](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/CommunitySolidServer/issues).
