 # Sellery
+What is this?  
+Sellery is a free and open source node.js web server that aims to do one thing:  
+Serve files from a webroot directory, but have them password protected.
 
-## How to generate your ssl pem files:
+If you navigate to your sellery instance, and request any file, you will instantly be prompted for a password.
+Once entered (and correct), your browser will set a cookie with a session id. This session will remain active for (by default) 10 minutes when inactive.
+It will only renew when requesting another file.
+With this cookie set, you can freely browse your webroot as if it was hosted by a regular, public webserver.
+
+Sellery can be functionally customized by modifying the config file, and optically customized by modifying
+the `authenticate.html` file, which is the login page. Anything else (like the login-failed page) is a statically
+served string. Serving a custom page would require a bit, but not much, more work.
+
+Do note that just deleting key-value pairs from the config file will most likely result in the server just crashing :).
+
+## Telemetry and logging
+### Telemetry
+Sellery, in of itself, records no telemetry what-so-ever. What node.js, or any of the installed packages, do in the background,
+i have no idea. Probably nothing, but don't quote me on that.
+
+### Logging
+Sellery **only** logs failed login attempts. This is important for the users privacy, so they can check if
+someone's trying to break into their instance. This can be fairly easily disabled though.
+Again, i have no idea if node.js's https-server logs anything in the background. I don't think so.
+
+## How to generate your ssl pem files (self-signed):
 ```sh
 openssl genrsa -out key.pem
 openssl req -new -key key.pem -out csr.pem
 openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in csr.pem -signkey key.pem -out cert.pem
 rm csr.pem
 ```
+If you were trying to host this publically (adventorous, aren't we?), you'd probably want to use certbot
+to obtain a Let's Encrypt certificate.
