Minor question, what was the flag to have webcit-http and webcit-https display a particular room (as opposed to defaulting to lobby) like Uncensored does with its wiki page? Had that going fine on a previous Citadel instance which has since been retired and I'd like to do that again for this new one but can't find the information anymore.
Thanks!

You want the "-g" flag, which allows you to pre-fill a location of your choice to use as the landing page.
For example, here we use:
webcit [other flags] -g '/dotgoto?room=Welcome to UNCENSORED!' [other arguments]
This works when you're calling WebCit directly from the host, as you would when running the Easy Install distribution, but it also works when you're running the Docker container: the "-g" flag and its argument are passed through from the caller to both WebCit instances (which is how I run it here).
Right, and has the SPA been built in such a way as to make the
back button do something that makes sense? :D
Well, it isn't implemented yet, but my plan is to follow the currently popular design pattern of pushing synthetic URLs onto the "back stack" using the History API, so that both bookmarks and the back-button behave the way a human user expects them to.
By the way, I am sorry it doesn't behave the way it ought to in webcit-classic, but with the rewrite years behind schedule I just can't afford to invest my time into the old code base. I hope you will understand. (That having been said, I won't be like the x.org people -- if someone wants to improve the old code base I'd be pleased to nurture that.)
Killer - worked a treat.
Thank ya.
So happy to be running a citadel instance again.
