CLICHE

CLICHE is now served by a Go web app instead of a static Live Server workflow.

Run locally

go run .\cmd\cliche

The app listens on :8081 by default and serves public\index.html plus static assets from public\.

Commands database

Commands are loaded from the Go backend endpoint:

GET /api/commands?limit=1000

The backend reads from PostgreSQL when CLICHE_DATABASE_URL is set. It also accepts HUB_DB or standard PGHOST, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, PGDATABASE, PGPORT, and PGSSLMODE environment variables. Command rows are read from commands.command_definitions, with a fallback to command_definitions.

Hosting

The frontend is host-ready: it calls the same-origin backend path /api/commands?limit=1000, so it is not wired to localhost.

Required hosting settings:

CLICHE_DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@host:5432/database?sslmode=require

Optional hosting settings:

CLICHE_ADDR=:8081
PORT=8081
CLICHE_STATIC_DIR=public

CLICHE_ADDR wins when set. Otherwise the app uses PORT, which many hosting platforms inject automatically, and falls back to :8081 for local development.

Before exposing it publicly, put it behind your normal auth or network boundary. The current app serves /api/commands without built-in authentication.
