**General rewording, proof-reading, deduplication, shortening, reordering, simplification, cleanup/formatting/standardization**
- standardize page names, rework documentation structure, update TOC
- use same example paths everywhere
- level 1 titles on all pages
- fix broken links
- .md suffix on all page links (works both from readthedocs and github repository views)
**Server:**
A full and concise installation guide with examples is a frequent request. The documentation should provide such a guide for basic installation needs, while explaining alternative/advanced configuration at the end. Links to reference guides and documentation should be used more frequently to avoid recommending an outdated or excessively complex configuration.
- server: move most server-related info to server-configuration.md, cleanup/shorten
- server: update list of php dependencies/libraries, link to composer.json
- server: installation: support 3 install methods (from release zip, from sources, using docker)
- server: installation: use rsync instead of mv as mv results will change depending of taget directory already existing or not
- server: add example/basic usage of certbot
- server, upgrade, installation: update file permissions setup, use sudo for upgrade operations in webserver document root
- server: apache: add comments to configuration, fix and factorize file permissions setup, set cache-control header, deny access to dotfiles, add missing apache config steps, add http->https redirect example
- server: nginx: refactor nginx configuration, add comments, DO log access to denied/protected files
- server: add links to MDN for x-forwarded-* http headers explanation, cleanup/clarify robots.txt and crawlers section
- server: bump file upload size limit to 100MB we have reports of bookmark exports weighing +40MB - i have a 13MB one here
- server: simplify phpinfo documentation
- server: move backup and restore information to dedicated page
- docker: move all docker docs to Docker.md, simplify/ docker setup, add docker-compose.yml example, replace docker-101 with docker cheatsheet
- troubleshooting: move all troubleshooting documentation to troubleshooting.md
**Usage:**
- index: add getting started section on index page
- features/usage: move all usage-related documentation to usage.md, add links from the main feature list to corresponding usage docs, clarify/reword features list
- shaarli configuration: add note about configuring from web interface
**Removed:**
- remove obsolete/orphan images
- remove obsolete shaarchiver example
- remove outdated "decode datastore content" snippet
**Development:**
- development: move development-related docs (static analysis, CI, unit tests, 3rd party libs, link structure/directory, guidelines, security....) to dev/ directory
- development: Merge several pages to development.md
- **Breaking change?:** remove mentions of 'stable' branch, switch to new branch/release model (master=latest commit, release=latest tag)
- **Breaking change?:** refer to base sharing unit as "Shaare" everywhere (TODO: reflect changes in the code?) doc: update featues list/link to usage.md for details
- development: directory structure: add note about required file permissions
- .travis-ci.yml: add comments
- .htaccess: add comment

1 | ### Why did you create Shaarli ? | ||
2 | |||
3 | I was a StumbleUpon user. Then I got fed up with they big toolbar. I switched to delicious, which was lighter, faster and more beautiful. Until Yahoo bought it. Then the export API broke all the time, delicious became slow and was ditched by Yahoo. I switched to Diigo, which is not bad, but does too much. And Diigo is sslllooooowww and their Firefox extension a bit buggy. And… oh… **their Firefox addon sends to Diigo every single URL you visit** (Don't believe me ? Use [Tamper Data](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tamper-data/) and open any page). | ||
4 | |||
5 | Enough is enough. Saving simple links should not be a complicated heavy thing. I ditched them all and wrote my own: Shaarli. It's simple, but it does the job and does it well. And my data is not hosted on a foreign server, but on my server. | ||
6 | |||
7 | ### Why use Shaarli and not Delicious/Diigo ? | ||
8 | |||
9 | With Shaarli: | ||
10 | |||
11 | - The data is yours: It's hosted on your server. | ||
12 | - Never fear of having your data locked-in. | ||
13 | - Never fear to have your data sold to third party. | ||
14 | - Your private links are not hosted on a third party server. | ||
15 | - You are not tracked by browser addons (like Diigo does) | ||
16 | - You can change the look and feel of the pages if you want. | ||
17 | - You can change the behaviour of the program. | ||
18 | - It's magnitude faster than most bookmarking services. | ||
19 | |||
20 | ### What does Shaarli mean? | ||
21 | |||
22 | Shaarli stands for _shaaring_ your _links_. | ||
23 | |||
24 | ### My Shaarli is broken! | ||
25 | First of all, ensure that both the [web server](Server-configuration) and | ||
26 | [Shaarli](Shaarli-configuration) are correctly configured, and that your | ||
27 | installation is [supported](Server-configuration). | ||
28 | |||
29 | If everything looks right but the issue(s) remain(s), please: | ||
30 | |||
31 | - take a look at the [troubleshooting](Troubleshooting) section | ||
32 | - come [chat with us](https://gitter.im/shaarli/Shaarli) on Gitter, we'll be happy to help ;-) | ||
33 | - browse active [issues](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues) and [Pull Requests](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/pulls) | ||
34 | - if you find one that is related to the issue, feel free to comment and provide additional details (host/Shaarli setup) | ||
35 | - else, [open a new issue](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/new), and provide information about the problem: | ||
36 | - _what happens?_ - display glitches, invalid data, security flaws... | ||
37 | - _what is your configuration?_ - OS, server version, activated extensions, web browser... | ||
38 | - _is it reproducible?_ | ||
39 | |||
40 | ### Why not use a real database? Files are slow! | ||
41 | |||
42 | Does browsing [this page](http://sebsauvage.net/links/) feel slow? Try browsing older pages, too. | ||
43 | |||
44 | It's not slow at all, is it? And don't forget the database contains more than 16000 links, and it's on a shared host, with 32000 visitors/day for my website alone. And it's still damn fast. Why? | ||
45 | |||
46 | The data file is only 3.7 Mb. It's read 99% of the time, and is probably already in the operation system disk cache. So generating a page involves no I/O at all most of the time. | ||
