FAQ: Technical

This page includes frequently asked questions about the technical aspects of Snapp.

Does Snapp support HTTPS?

Currently not. If you want to use HTTPS to connect to your self-hosted version of Snapp you will need some proxy server, like Apache, to take care of handling HTTPS connections. If you are going to use a proxy server it is also recommended that you use it to manage compression and deactivate Snapp's (by setting compressStaticFiles to false in snapp_conf.json before starting Snapp).

Will there be Raspberry Pi (ARMv6/7) support?

TL;DR: not in the near future.

Snapp uses NW.js to build the executable. Currently they do not offer an official build for Raspberry Pi. A few unofficial builds do exist, but I feel hesitant about using them because I can't be sure that they are going to be maintained. Also, currently I'm not able to build and/or maintain one myself. That being said, as soon as the situation changes and a build becomes available in one way or another this functionality will be added, as it is one of the more demanded new features.
