Customising html

[QVBU]

I am using a precompiled binary file of Gokapi. How can I modify the HTML and CSS in this case?
Thanks for help.

Not the best solutions, but for the small customization, it will work.

server {

    ........

    # Define the content types to apply filtering to (in this case, HTML,CSS content)
    sub_filter_types text/html text/css;  

    # Replace footer
    sub_filter '<p> Powered by <a href="https://github.com/Forceu/Gokapi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gokapi'
               '<p> Powered by <a href="https:/example.com" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener noreferrer">Example';
    # Remove the version number (e.g., "v2.1.0")
    sub_filter 'v2.1.0' '';

    # Replace border color in .card
    sub_filter '.card{margin:0 auto;float:none;margin-bottom:10px;border:2px solid #33393f}' '.card{margin:0 auto;float:none;margin-bottom:10px;border:2px solid #084353}';

    # Enable content filtering
    sub_filter_once on;

    .........
}

You can’t directly edit HTML/CSS in a precompiled binary.
To modify it, you need the source code — download/clone it from GitHub, change the HTML/CSS there, then rebuild the program.

Some binaries might also have separate assets folders you can tweak, but usually, source code is the way to go.

Yes that is correct, see the last paragraph in https://gokapi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced.html#customising

Before v2.0, if there was a specific folder, then it replaced all default templates - so it was possible to edit everything without recompiling. This however created a lot of problems after updates, as the custom folder had to be recreated with every version change. I therefore decided that adding custom CSS and JS is a much better solution, as it does not break silently after an update.
