Sad Server
==========

[](#sad-server)

A Laravel package that replaces the default 404 error page with a terminal animation featuring a depressed web server.

Inspired by [wachwerk.de/404](https://wachwerk.de/404). Original text by Sebastian Lübcke, circa 2000.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require chellmann/sad-server
```

That's it. The package auto-discovers and immediately replaces your 404 page.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the config to customize the terminal title, typing speed, or messages:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sad-server-config
```

This creates `config/sad-server.php` where you can change:

- **`title`** — The terminal window title bar text
- **`type_speed`** — Typing speed in milliseconds per character
- **`strings`** — Array of messages the server types out

Customizing the View
--------------------

[](#customizing-the-view)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sad-server-views
```

This publishes the Blade template to `resources/views/vendor/sad-server/errors/404.blade.php`.

How It Works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The package registers a `renderable` callback for `NotFoundHttpException`. HTML requests get the terminal 404 page, JSON/API requests are unaffected.
