QikNode

A no-hassle web server that runs on basically anything

Not sure what a web server is, read why a web server is like a restaurant.

Web Server for Anyone

QikNode is a web server that runs on pretty much anything. Like Node.js QikNode is a Javascript powered web server. Unlike Node.js, QikNode is designed to run on a phone, inside a regular web browser, or even on a traditional Node.js powered server. It's easy to use, easy to setup, and any old device sitting around can run it for you.

Simple, Easy, and Lots of Potential

QikNode is designed to not just be a web server, but a scalable and easily configurable foundation for web services; in many ways it's the heart of the Qik ecosystem. Multi-threading is handled by default, and database storage is built-in or can be remote hosted like a traditional server setup. Services can be selected, installed, and auto-updated from our repo, or anyone else's (including your own!). This website uses the QikCMS and Static file services, and there are others like Bluetooth and SMS, which take advantage of phone hardware. With QikNode, IoT gets a lot simpler.

Sorry, You Have to Wait

Although we have high hopes for QikNode, it's not ready for open contribution yet. Using it to power our website is a first step to iron out the wrinkles, then FTP, SMTP, and Git implementations will be added. There's no point in a self-hosted solution, if it can't do all the things you need it to do. Once that first step has passed, we'll move onto Beta deployment.
