What this script does

Hover or tap a box to see the lines it explains.

  1. Script format

    Tells HexOS this is a version 5 install script, so it knows how to read the rest.

    Line 2

  2. Script revision

    This copy of the script is revision 0.1.0. Latest change: “Auto-generated draft from TrueNAS stirling-pdf 1.1.32”.

    Lines 3–6

  3. Storage locations it needs

    The app uses these HexOS storage locations: App storage (fast) and App storage (large). If one isn't set up yet, HexOS will ask you to pick a place for it.

    Line 8

  4. Minimum hardware

    Recommended minimum: 2 CPU cores.

    Line 9

  5. Permission to use your folders

    Allows the app to read and write files inside the storage locations listed above — and nowhere else.

    Line 10

  6. Network ports

    The app needs port 30124 to be free on your server. A port is like an apartment number for your server's address.

    Line 11

  7. Folders created on install

    Creates the folders the app needs before it starts: App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf, App storage (large) › stirling-pdf, App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › tesseract_data, App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › configs, App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › custom_files, App storage (large) › stirling-pdf › logs and App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › pipeline. Folders marked “snapshot” are included in HexOS snapshots, so you can roll them back.

    Lines 13–35

  8. Where the app's “tesseract data” files is saved

    Where the app's “tesseract data” files is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › tesseract_data.

    Line 38

  9. Where the app's “configs” files is saved

    Where the app's “configs” files is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › configs.

    Line 39

  10. Where the app's “custom files” files is saved

    Where the app's “custom files” files is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › custom_files.

    Line 40

  11. Where the app's log files is saved

    Where the app's log files is saved on your server: App storage (large) › stirling-pdf › logs.

    Line 41

  12. Where the app's “pipeline” files is saved

    Where the app's “pipeline” files is saved on your server: App storage (fast) › stirling-pdf › pipeline.

    Line 42

  13. Web port: 30124

    The app's web page is published on port 30124. You don't need to remember it — clicking the app's card in HexOS takes you there.

    Line 45

  14. Resource limits

    Caps how much of your server the app can use: 2 CPU cores and 10% of your server's memory, but never more than 4 GB. This keeps one busy app from slowing everything else down.

    Line 47
