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
$ cp 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.

Versions >= 1.4.4 only: $ cp app/config/config.yml.dist app/config/config.yml

See the configuration section for more information about configuration.

---

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

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

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.

If you upgrade to v1.4.4 or more, the configuration is moved to a app/config/config.yml: $ cp app/config/config.yml.dist app/config/config.yml and see the configuration section for more information.

Configuration

Version < 1.4.4

Edit app/bootstrap.php.d/70-security.php.

• $app['token']: the securty token (a strong passphrase).
• $app['enable_registration']: defines if the registration is allowed (true or false)
• $app['enable_login']: defines if the login is allowed (true or false)
• $app['login_required_to_edit_gist']: defines if the user must be logged to create or clone a Gist (true or false)
• $app['login_required_to_view_gist']: defines if the user must be logged to view a Gist (true or false)
• $app['login_required_to_view_gist']: defines if the user must be logged to view an embeded Gist (true or false)

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/.

Version >= 1.4.4

Edit app/config/config.yml.

• security.token: the securty token (a strong passphrase)

• security.login_required_to_edit_gist: defines if the user must be logged to create or clone a Gist (true or false)
• security.login_required_to_view_gist: defines if the user must be logged to view a Gist (true or false)
• security.login_required_to_view_gist: defines if the user must be logged to view an embeded Gist (true or false)
• api.base_uri: The url of your instance.
• data.path: the path where the files are saved.
• git.path: The path of git.
• theme.name: the name of the theme (dark or light)

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 a gist: $ app/console --help create
• Update a gist: $ app/console --help update
• Create user: app/console --help user:create
• Show stats: $ app/console --help stats

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
