Running an Ikenga server
This section is for people who run an Ikenga server: on their own, to reach their workspace from another device, or for a team as a multi-user server. The step-by-step guides are still being written. Until they land, this page says what exists today and what it does not do yet.
What exists today
Section titled “What exists today”Both server modes are in beta. Neither is part of the desktop download: you build and deploy the server yourself.
Beta Headless server for one user since 0.8.1
- Not part of the desktop download: you build and deploy the server yourself.
- Access is by the server's shared token, or by pairing a device (pairing is new in 0.19.0).
- The Devices screen shows how the server is exposed to the network, read-only; it does not change it.
Beta Multi-user server since 0.19.0
- Members of one organisation share the server and are mutually trusted; it is not built for untrusted tenants.
- Sign-in is by username and password; single sign-on is not available yet.
- The server needs a Linux host: it runs as root under systemd and gives each person their own Unix user.
- Not part of the desktop download: you build and deploy the server yourself.
