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 or SQLite (PostgreSQL should works)
• Composer (php)
• NPM (nodejs)

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

NPM

$ sudo apt-get install npm

Installation

$ cd /path/to/www/
$ git clone https://gitnet.fr/deblan/gist
$ cd gist
$ make

An interactive shell will start. If you want to perform a manual configuration, follow these instructions.

If you want to use MySQL:

$ cp app/config/propel.yaml.dist-mysql propel.yaml

If you want to use SQLite:

$ cp app/config/propel.yaml.dist-sqlite propel.yaml

Then edit propel.yaml and replace the values of dsn, user, password by considering your environment and run $ 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 or more: 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.

If you upgrade to v1.7.0 or more, see the configuration section for more information about new options.

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.enable_registration: defines if the registration is allowed (true or false)
• security.enable_login: defines if the login is allowed (true or false)
• 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)

Version >= v1.7.0

• api.enabled: defines if the API is enabled (true or false)
• api.api_key_required: defines if the API key is required to access the API (true or false)
• api.client.api_key: defines the client API key (string)

Makefile

A Makefile is provided to automate some tasks.

• make will install dependencies via composer and NPM
• make composer will install PHP dependencies via composer
• make npm will install CSS/JS dependencies via NPM
• make update will update the application
• make propel will generate propel migrations (database and files)
• make run will run development server on http://127.0.0.1:8080/

By default, composer, npm, git, mkdir and php binaries must be in your $PATH. You can override it by using these envars:

• COMPOSER
• NPM
• GIT
• MKDIR
• PHP

For example:

$ export COMPOSER=/path/to/composer
$ make composer
