Tutorial install on CPanel shared hosting (no docker)

[ewwink]

look the file .env, uncomment and set the following

# values will be set by Docker if you run docker compose
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_NAME=dbname
DB_USER=dbuser
DB_PASS=dbpass
#PORT=5645
STORAGE_SERVER=https://mysubdomain.yoururl.com/snapcamera
STORAGE_PATH=/home/cpuser/mysubdomain.yoururl.com/snapcamera
IMPORT_DIR=import
MEDIA_DIR=snap-camera-media
MEDIA_DIR_ALT=snap-camera-media-alt

Create directories with the above values in root of web app, check stderr.log if there missing directory or error.

in Snap Camera.exe replace studio-app.snapchat.com (23 chars) with mysubdomain.yoururl.com (23 chars) with hex editor.

web based hex patcher needed 😁 or use manual web hex editor https://hexed.it

For NodeJS 14 and below you need to change function .replaceAll('oldvalue', 'newvalue'), 'gi') with .replace(/oldvalue/gi, 'newvalue')

CPanel need loader file, instead using server.js as Application startup file create loadapp.cjs or any name with .cjs extension with the following content

async function loadapp() {
    await import("/home/cpuser/mysubdomain.yoururl.com/server.js");
}

loadapp();

done

Thank you for sharing these instructions!

[ewwink]

you're welcome, and thank you too for this awesome app, can you change 3 replaceAll() to replace() in

snap-camera-server/src/utils/helper.js

Line 187 in ab62900

let deeplinkURL = new URL(str.replaceAll('\u0026', '&')); // json encoding fix
