GIST

GIST is an open-source application to share code. https://www.deblan.io/post/517/gist-est-dans-la-place

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4
• GIT
• MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite
• Composer (php)
• Bower (node)

Git

Git can maybe be downloaded from your system's repositories.

$ git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Composer

Composer can maybe be downloaded from your system's repositories. Else, follow the next instructions:

# With cURL
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

# With Wget
$ wget -O - -q https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

$ chmod +x composer.phar

# For a local installation and if the envvar PATH contains "$HOME/bin/"
$ mv composer.phar ~/bin/composer

# For a global installation
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Bower

$ sudo apt-get install npm
$ sudo npm install -g bower

Installation

$ cd /path/to/www/
$ git clone https://gitnet.fr/deblan/gist
$ cd gist
$ make
$ mv propel-dist.yaml propel.yaml

Edit propel.yaml. Use spaces instead of tabulations.

MySQL

propel:
    database:
        connections:
            default:
                adapter: mysql
                # http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-mysql.connection.php
                dsn: "mysql:host=DATABASE_SERVER;dbname=DATABASE_NAME"
                user: DATEBASE_USER
                password: DATEBASE_PASSWORD
                settings:
                    charset: utf8
                    queries:
                        utf8: "SET NAMES utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci, COLLATION_CONNECTION = utf8_unicode_ci, COLLATION_DATABASE = utf8_unicode_ci, COLLATION_SERVER = utf8_unicode_ci"

[...]

SQLITE

propel:
    database:
        connections:
            default:
                adapter: sqlite
                # http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlite.connection.php
                dsn: "sqlite:/PATH/TO/gist.sqlite"
                user: ~
                password: ~

[...]

Then $ make propel.

Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/70-security.php and modify the value of $app['token'] with a strong secret phrase.

The web server must have permission to write into data.

$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data data

Your webserver must be configured to serve web/ as document root. If you use nginx, all virtual paths must be rooted with web/index.php or web/app_dev.php (documentation). If you use apache, you must enable the rewrite module and restart:

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
$ sudo service apache2 restart

Upgrade

If your version is less than v1.4.2, run: test -d app && git add app && git commit -m "Configuration".

$ make update
$ make propel

If you upgrade to v1.4.1, run: app/console migrate:to:v1.4.1.

Makefile

A Makefile is provided to automate some tasks.

• make will install application's dependencies via Composer and Bower,
• make optimize will run Composer's autoloader dump script with classmap
• make update will update the application
• make propel will generate propel's files
• make run will run development server on http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Console

Create and update gists

$ app/console --help create
$ app/console --help update

Create user

$ app/console --help user:create

Show stats

$ app/console --help stats

Configuration

API

Personal instance

If you install Gist on your server, you have to modify the base_uri of the API. Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/60-api.php and replace https://gist.deblan.org/.

Authentication

Disabling login

Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/70-security.php and modify the value of $app['enable_login'] with false.

Disabling registration

Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/70-security.php and modify the value of $app['enable_registration'] with false.

Login required to edit a gist

Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/70-security.php and modify the value of $app['login_required_to_edit_gist'] with true.

Login required to view a gist

Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/70-security.php and modify the value of $app['login_required_to_view_gist'] with true.

Login required to view an embeded gist

Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/70-security.php and modify the value of $app['login_required_to_view_embeded_gist'] with true.

Debug

app_dev.php is the development router. Access is granted for an IP range defined in the same file.

Deployment

Gist uses Magallanes to manage deployment.

Global installation

$ composer global require andres-montanez/magallanes
# if the envvar PATH contains "$HOME/bin/"
$ ln -s ~/.composer/vendor/bin/mage ~/bin/mage

Local installation

$ composer require andres-montanez/magallanes

There is an example of the configuration of an environment in .mage/config/environment/prod.yml-dist.

# global installation
$ mage deploy to:prod

# local installation
$ ./vendor/andres-montanez/magallanes/bin/mage deploy to:prod
