XXX.local.properties for a local instance of compiler-explorer

What is compiler-explorer?

https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer

aka godbolt (named after the author). It is an online compiler tool which can be useful for checking the effects of compiler optimaztions, checking the validity of code snippets, etc. in realtime.

Why do I have a local instance?

Because I can have a local instance! One of the goals of compiler-explorer was to never break this feature.

How do I access your local instance?

:-) If we're on the same network maybe you can access it after I tweak some things, but it is

localhost:10240

So what are these files?

These are local configucation files useful when running a local instance. It includes paths to local copies of compilers, libraries and tools.

They were created by:

• copy xxx.default.properties -> xxx.local.properties
• take bits and pieces from xxx.amazon.properties -> xxx.local.properties

What do you need to run a local compiler-explorer?

• node ... i used nvm (nvm use --lts) which uses node 20.xx

and your local compilers (gcc, clang).

I am running the local instance on WSL2 on my laptop.
