If you have followed the building instructions you should have an install directory containing all the necessary files for running the server.

Run the muniad service like so

install/bin/muniad --file <my database>.xml --port <my port> [--ssl]

If –file is omitted the database will be stored in /tmp/munia.xml which probably not what you want, but can nonetheless be useful for quick tests. If –ssl is added valid certificates must be put in install/share/munia/ws/libwebsockets-test-server.key.pem and install/share/munia/ws/libwebsockets-test-server.pem.

these files can be generated with openssl

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout install/share/munia/ws/libwebsockets-test-server.key.pem -out install/share/munia/ws/libwebsockets-test-server.pem -days 365 -nodes

After this the server can be connected to using the https protocol instead of http.

A users file must be created in install/etc/munia/users. the content of this file is a line-based user/password-hash list. Each line can be created with the muniapwd tool:

install/bin/muniapwd <username>

Simply copy the first line of the output from the command to the users file.

Finally connect to whichever port was designated with firefox, for example: http://localhost:10000
