$ ./fortune-cgi/fortune.cgi
Content-Type: text/json

    "id": 124,
    "fortune": "It may or may not be worthwhile, but it still has to be done.\n"
}

Live demo environment: https://sjmulder.nl/fortune

Installation Deployment

First compile:

$ sudo apt install build-essential libsqlite3-dev libyajl-dev
$ make

This yields fortune.db and fortune-cgi/fortune.cgi.

• Place fortune.cgi in the cgi-bin/ storage container of your serverless platform.
• Place fortune.db next to it, or place it somewhere else and set FORTUNE_DB to its path in your environment's infrastructure-as-code configuration.
