## Setup - If you are using Docker
- `docker pull sose/hellgate`
- `docker run -p 1965:1965 sose/hellgate`
- the server will listen on `localhost:1965`
- If you are using port 1965 on the host machine, you can bind a different port
by running `docker run -p {PORT}:1965 sose/hellgate` instead

## Notes
## Security
- Obviously executing arbitrary Javascript from around the web is never going
to be completely safe, however the following steps have been taken to ensure
the saftey of the host machine:
- All websites have a maximum time in which they have to load their
content (default 2s) and execute any scripts (default 2s)
- When running outside of a Docker container, all renderer processes
will be run inside the Chromium sandbox
(https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/master/docs/linux/sandboxing.md)
- When running inside of a Docker container, the entire program is
running inside a Docker container (as an unprivileged user).
- Nodejs integration is disabled in all renderer processes
- Context isolation is enabled in all reneder processes
- Any request for browser permissions is automatically denied
- Any request to create a new window is automatically denied
- Essentially, in theory, the machine hosting hellgate should not be at any
more risk than a regular web broser. However, security vulnerabilities
exists, and no software is perfect, not Docker, not Chromium, not Linux not
Electron and *certainly* not Hellgate. If you have valuable things on your
server I would suggest running all of this in a VM, just in case.
## Other Notes
- As of right now the npm version of gemini-server is broken, use the version
from github or this will not work
from github or this will not work.
- If you are using the docker container this is already done for you.
