How do I gain admin status?

1. Run the app for the first time
2. Create a user
3. Go to the /api/status endpoint
4. Grab your ID (save it, or don't close that tab)
5. Shut down the App
6. Run sqlite3 yourflare.db and run UPDATE users SET admin = TRUE WHERE id = 'THEIDYOUCOPIED'
7. Start it back up!

Migrate from v4 to v5

Version 5 moves the passwordHash.ts file to
settings.ts -> { passwordHash: string }.

Version 5 also adds email sending and password recovery and more. This requires you to setup a SMTP server in your config. Check the example settings.

Requirements

Yourflare requires the dnssec-keygen and the dnssec-dsfromkey utilities. Install them via sudo apt-get install bind9utils

Why?

My domain provider doesn't allow me to use more than 10 A records, and using a wildcard is kind of a pain since I don't know what I'm hosting.

Cloudflare is also a monolithic company that basically controls the whole internet, and since I don't want my own domains to be apart of it's systems, I wrote my own DNS mangment software.
