+# Building bingus-blog
+
+this guide assumes you have git and are on linux.  
+at the moment, compiling on windows is supported, but not _for windows_.
+
+1. first, acquire _rust nightly_.  
+   the recommended method is to install [rustup](https://rustup.rs/),
+   and use that to get _rust nightly_. choose "customize installation",
+   and set "default toolchain" to nightly to save time later, provided
+   you do not need _rust stable_ for something else
+2. start your favorite terminal
+3. then, download the repository: `git clone https://git.slonk.ing/slonk/bingus-blog && cd bingus-blog`
+4. finally, build the application: `cargo +nightly build --release`
+5. your executable is `target/release/bingus-blog`, copy it to your server and
+   you're done!
+
+## Building for another architecture
+
+you can use the `--target` flag in `cargo build` for this purpose.  
+examples are for Arch Linux x86_64.
+
+here's how to compile for `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`
+(eg. Oracle CI Free Tier ARM VPS):
+
+```sh
+# install the required packages to compile and link aarch64 binaries
+sudo pacman -S aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc
+cargo +nightly build --release --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
+```
+
+your executable will be `target/aarch64-unkown-linux-gnu/release/bingus-blog`.
+
+---
+
+a more tricky example is building for `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl`
+(eg. a Redmi 5 Plus running postmarketOS):
+
+```sh
+# there is no toolchain for aarch64-unknown-linux-musl,
+# so we have to repurpose the GNU toolchain. this doesn't
+# work out of the box so we have to set some environment variables
+sudo pacman -S aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc
+export CC=aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc
+export CARGO_TARGET_AARCH64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_MUSL_LINKER=$CC
+cargo +nightly build --release --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
+# the reason we had to do this is because cargo tries to use
+# the same toolchain as the target's name. but we can tell it to use
+# the GNU one like so.
+```
+
+your executable will be `target/aarch64-unkown-linux-musl/release/bingus-blog`.

+# Custom Content
+
+bingus-blog supports loading custom content such as templates and static files
+at runtime from custom locations.
+
+the configuration options `dirs.custom_templates` and `dirs.custom_static`
+allow you to set where these files are loaded from.
+
+customizing the error page, other than CSS, is not supported at this time.
+
+## Custom Templates
+
+custom templates are written in
+[Handlebars (the rust variant)](https://crates.io/crates/handlebars).
+
+the *custom templates directory* has a non-recursive structure:
+
+```md
+./
+  - index.html # ignored
+  - index.hbs # loaded as `index`
+  - post.hbs # loaded as `post`
+  - [NAME].hbs # loaded as `[NAME]`
+  - ...
+```
+
+templates will be loaded from first, the executable, then, the custom
+templates path, overriding the defaults.
+
+template changes are also processed after startup, any changed template will be
+compiled and will replace the existing template in the registry, or add a
+new one (though that does nothing).  
+if a template is deleted, the default template will be recompiled into
+it's place.  
+note that the watcher only works if the *custom templates directory* existed
+at startup. if you delete/create the directory, you must restart the program.
+
+## Custom Static Files
+
+GET requests to `/static` will first be checked against `dirs.custom_static`.
+if the file is not found in the *custom static directory*, bingus-blog will try
+to serve it from the directory embedded in the executable. this means you can
+add whatever you want in the *custom static directory* and it will be served
+under `/static`.
+
+## Custom Media
+
+the endpoint `/media` is served from `dirs.media`. no other logic or mechanism
+is present.

 ## Cache
 
 bingus-blog caches every post retrieved and keeps it permanently in cache.
-the only way a cache entry is removed is when it's requested and it does
-not exist in the filesystem. cache entries don't expire, but they get
-invalidated when the mtime of the markdown file changes.
+there is a toggleable cleanup task that periodically sweeps the cache to
+remove dead entries, but it can still get quite big.
 
-if cache persistence is on, the cache is compressed & written on shutdown,
-and read & decompressed on startup. one may opt to set the cache location
-to point to a tmpfs so it saves and loads really fast, but it doesn't persist
-across boots, also at the cost of even more RAM usage.
+if cache persistence is on, the cache is (compressed &) written to disk on
+shutdown, and read (& decompressed) on startup. one may opt to set the cache
+location to point to a tmpfs to make it save and load quickly, but not persist
+across reboots at the cost of more RAM usage.
 
-the compression reduced a 3.21 MB file cache into 0.18 MB with almost instantly.
-there is basically no good reason to not have compression on.
+in my testing, the compression reduced a 3.21 MB cache to 0.18 MB almost
+instantly. there is basically no good reason to not have compression on,
+unless you have filesystem compression already of course.
