XRForge is a tiny, powerful tool to interconnect XR experiences.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
An open, seamless XR web built from simple URLs and directories, without gatekeepers.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
XRForge transforms standard local or remote file directories into interconnected 3D spaces.
|
||
<br>Users can seamlessly "surf" the spatial web, turning everyday directories into 3D portals.
|
||
|
||
```

|
||
|
||
> Profit! you have aqcuired the sourcecode from the binary: run and distribute modified versions if needed ♥
|
||
|
||
## Adding content
|
||
|
||
First you need a directory with glTF or JanusXR experiences.<br>
|
||
Just run this in the terminal:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ unzip xrforge.com myverse
|
||
$ tree myverse
|
||
myverse
|
||
├── janusxr
|
||
│ ├── helloworld
|
||
│ │ └── janusxr.xml
|
||
│ ├── janusxr.png
|
||
│ └── tronverse -> ../tronverse <---
|
||
└── tronverse | recursive portals allowed
|
||
├── janusxr -> ../janusxr <--- via symlinks
|
||
├── tron
|
||
│ ├── README.md
|
||
│ ├── tron.glb
|
||
│ ├── tron.mp3
|
||
│ └── tron.png
|
||
└── tronverse.png
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> optionally you can run `./xrforge.com admin` and change the `myverse` directory if needed.
|
||
|
||
Now xrforge.com will scan that local folder:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ ./xrforge.gom
|
||
scanning experiences (this make take a while..)
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/diskscan: detected .png thumbnail file
|
||
✅ ./myverse/janusxr 10927498
|
||
✅ ./myverse/janusxr/helloworld 10927500
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/janusxr: janusxr.xml
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/diskscan: detected .png thumbnail file
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/diskscan: detected .png thumbnail file
|
||

|
||
✅ └─ plugin/diskscan: detected .png thumbnail file
|
||
✅ ./myverse/tronverse/tron 10927504
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/xrfragments: detected .png sidecarfile
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/markdown: detected README.md
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/diskscan: detected .png thumbnail file
|
||

|
||
✅ └─ plugin/diskscan: detected symlink..creating portal
|
||
ℹ️ ./myverse/tronverse/janusxr
|
||
✅ └─ plugin/diskscan: detected symlink..creating portal
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Customizing
|
||
|
||
After first (in the terminal) run a lua config file is created, which you can edit:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ xrforge.com
|
||
$ ls
|
||
xrforge.com
|
||
xrforge.lua
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
With basic HTML/CSS skills you can edit the templates by running this in the terminal:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ unzip xrforge.com page css
|
||
$ ls
|
||
page css
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> Profit! You can now edit the extracted html-templates and css-files, they will be detected automatically when running xrforge.com
|
||
|
||
Optionally you can re-distribute `xrforge.com` with your modifications by running `zip xrforge.com page`
|
||
|
||
## Plugins
|
||
|
||
xrforge is basically plugins working together.<br>
|
||
You can create your own plugins by running:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ ./xrforge.com createplugin > xrforge.myplugin.lua
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Look in the [src/plugin](src/plugin) directory for examples
|
||
|
||
## Run as server
|
||
|
||
<b>BAREMETAL:</b>
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ ./xrforge.com server
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> **NOTE**: if the binary does not work on your server, use [xrforge-x86_64]() from the releases section instead.
|
||
|
||
<b>DOCKER:</b> to prevent polluting the environment with terabytes of docker-images, just run this:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd):/app busybox /app/xrforge.com server
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Scan manyfold
|
||
|
||
-------------
|
||
```
|
||
manual scan (via cli?)
|
||
curl -L -X 'GET' 'http://xrforge.isvery.ninja/models?page=1&order=name' -H 'accept: application/vnd.manyfold.v0+json'
|
||
curl -L -X 'GET' 'http://xrforge.isvery.ninja/models?page=1&order=recent' -H 'accept: application/vnd.manyfold.v0+json'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Developing
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ source .env # not needed if your system has autoenv
|
||
$ build # fast: repeatable build
|
||
$ rebuild # faster: lua-repeatable build
|
||
$ nix-build # slow: reproducable nix build (for experts)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then run with debug flag to see output of `trace()` calls
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ DEBUG=1 result/bin/xrforge.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> Testing: run the builtin testrunner: `cd src && ../result/bin/xrforge.com test`
|
||
|
||
Use `ARCH=x86_64 build` to enforce x86_64 output (instead of a cosmopolitan binary)
|
||

||
## Permacomputing Spirit
|
||
|
||
* developed on [Dillo](https://dillo-browser.github.io/) as lowest common denominator / compatibility
|
||
* does not use javascript (WebXR viewer being the exception)
|
||
* gracefully degrades to admin/filebrowser for >noscript>/potato-browsers
|
||
* server is using lua-scripting via cosmopolitan libc's [redbean](https://redbean.dev)
|
||
|
||
> So yes, the codebase/html/css is intentionally 90-ish: that's **exactly why it works** on potato-devices AND modern devices.
