gighive

Access Options

Users of GigHive have two deployment options, each with different upload capabilities:

Option 1: Direct IP Address (No TLS Certificate)

• Access: Web browser only
• Upload method: /db/upload_form.php (web form)
• Setup: Point users directly to https://YOUR_IP/db/upload_form.php

Option 2: Domain + Cloudflare (Free TLS Certificate)

• Access: Web browser AND iOS app
• Upload method: Both web form and native iOS app
• Requirement: Domain name + Cloudflare free tier
• Setup:
  1. Create a free Cloudflare account
  2. Add your domain to Cloudflare
  3. Point DNS A record (e.g., gighive.yourdomain.com) to your Azure VM IP
  4. Cloudflare automatically provisions a valid TLS certificate
  5. Users can access via https://gighive.yourdomain.com in browser or iOS app

Recommendation: Use Option 2 (Cloudflare) to enable the full GigHive experience, including the native iOS app for your users.
