# Realms Wiki Beta Git based wiki written in Python Inspired by [Gollum][gollum], [Ghost][ghost], and [Dillinger][dillinger]. Basic authentication and registration included. Demo: http://realms.io This domain is being used temporarily as a demo so expect it to change. Source: https://github.com/scragg0x/realms-wiki ## Features - Built with Bootstrap 3. - Markdown (w/ HTML Support). - Syntax highlighting (Ace Editor). - Live preview. - Collaboration (TogetherJS / Firepad). - Drafts saved to local storage. - Handlebars for templates and logic. ## Screenshots [](https://db.tt/Q2XHGRnT) [](https://db.tt/pIZ4w2oN) [](https://db.tt/ERLmDHrk) [](https://db.tt/Ls08ocLh) [](https://db.tt/7QVfXFQ4) [](https://db.tt/Lna3BOm1) ## Requirements - Python 2.7 ### Optional - Nginx (if you want proxy requests, this is recommended). - Memcached or Redis, default is memonization. - MariaDB, MySQL, Postgresql, or another database supported by SQLAlchemy, default is sqlite. Anon or single user does not require a database. ## Installation ### Requirements installation You will need the following packages to get started: #### Ubuntu sudo apt-get install -y python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev #### CentOS / RHEL yum install -y python-pip python-devel.x86_64 libxslt-devel.x86_64 libxml2-devel.x86_64 libffi-devel.x86_64 libyaml-devel.x86_64 libxslt-devel.x86_64 zlib-devel.x86_64 openssl-devel.x86_64 openldap2-devel cyrus-sasl-devel python-pbr gcc #### OSX / Windows This app is designed for Linux and I recommend using Vagrant to install on OSX or Windows. ### Realms Wiki installation via PyPI The easiest way. Install it using Python Package Index: pip install realms-wiki ### Realms Wiki installation via Git #### Ubuntu git clone https://github.com/scragg0x/realms-wiki cd realms-wiki sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/node.js sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y nodejs python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev sudo npm install -g bower bower install virtualenv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt realms-wiki start NodeJS is required for installing [bower](http://bower.io) and it's used for pulling front end dependencies. ### Realms Wiki via Vagrant Vagrantfile is included for development or running locally. To get started with Vagrant, download and install Vagrant and VirtualBox for your platform with the links provided: - https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Then execute the following in the terminal: git clone https://github.com/scragg0x/realms-wiki cd realms-wiki vagrant up Check [http://127.0.0.1:5000/](http://127.0.0.1:5000/) to make sure it's running. ### Realms Wiki via Docker Make sure you have docker installed. http://docs.docker.com/installation/ Here is an example run command, it will pull the image from docker hub initially. docker run --name realms-wiki -p 5000:5000 -d realms/realms-wiki You can build your own image if you want. Mine is based off https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker The Dockerfile is located in [docker/Dockerfile](docker/Dockerfile) `realms/base` just creates the deploy user. ## Config and Setup You should be able to run the wiki without configuration using the default config values. You may want to customize your app and the easiest way is the setup command: realms-wiki setup This will ask you questions and create a `realms-wiki.json` file in where you can find it. You can manually edit this file as well. Any config value set in `realms-wiki.json` will override values set in `realms/config/__init__.py`. ### Nginx Setup sudo apt-get install -y nginx Create a file called `realms.conf` in `/etc/nginx/conf.d` sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/realms.conf Put the following sample configuration in that file: server { listen 80; # Your domain here server_name wiki.example.org; # Settings to by-pass for static files location ^~ /static/ { # Example: root /full/path/to/realms/; } location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000/; proxy_redirect off; } } Test Nginx config: sudo nginx -t Reload Nginx: sudo service nginx reload ### Apache + mod_wsgi Setup sudo apt-get install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi Create a virtual host configuration in `/etc/apache2/sites-available/realms_vhost` ServerName wiki.example.org WSGIDaemonProcess realms_wsgi display-name=%{GROUP} WSGIProcessGroup realms_wsgi WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/my-realms-dir/wsgi.py Alias /static /full/path/to/realms/static Create `/var/www/my-realms-dir/wsgi.py` import os import site # Uncomment the following lines if you are using a virtual environment # ---------------------------------- # Enter path to your virtualenv's site-packages directory # VENV_SITE_DIR = ".venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages" # PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) # site.addsitedir(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, VENV_SITE_DIR))) # ---------------------------------- from realms import create_app application = create_app() Enable the virtual host: sudo a2ensite realms_vhost Test your configuration: apache2ctl configtest Reload apache: sudo service apache2 reload ### MySQL Setup sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev realms-wiki pip install python-memcached ### MariaDB Setup sudo apt-get install -y mariadb-server mariadb-client libmariadbclient-dev realms-wiki pip install MySQL-Python ### Postgres Setup sudo apt-get install -y libpq-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib postgresql-client realms-wiki pip install psycopg2 _Don't forget to create your database._ ## Search Realms wiki comes with basic search capabilities, however this is not recommended for large wikis or if you require more advanced search capabilities. We currently support Elasticsearch and Whoosh as alternative backend. ### Elasticsearch Setup There are multiple ways to install/run Elasticsearch. An easy way is to use your their repositories. **apt** wget -qO - http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb http://packages.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/1.4/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elasticsearch.list apt-get update && apt-get install elasticsearch For `yum` instructions or more details, follow the link below: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-repositories.html **Configuring Elasticsearch** In your Realms Config, have the following options set: "SEARCH_TYPE": "elasticsearch" "ELASTICSEARCH_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:9200" Optionally, also set the following option to configure which fields are searchable: "ELASTICSEARCH_FIELDS": ["name"] Allowable values are `"name"`, `"content"`, `"username"`, `"message"`. The default is `["name"]`. ### Whoosh Setup Simply install Whoosh to your Python environment, e.g. pip install Whoosh **Configuring Whoosh** To use Whoosh, set the following in your Realms config: "SEARCH_TYPE": "whoosh" "WHOOSH_INDEX": "/path/to/your/whoosh/index" "WHOOSH_LANGUAGE": "en" WHOOSH_INDEX has to be a path readable and writeable by Realm's user. It will be created automatically if it doesn't exist. Whoosh is set up to use language optimization, so set WHOOSH_LANGUAGE to the language used in your wiki. For available languages, check `whoosh.lang.languages`. If your language is not supported, Realms will fall back to a simple text analyzer. ## Running realms-wiki start ### Upstart Setup upstart with this command: sudo realms-wiki setup_upstart This command requires root priveleges because it creates an upstart script. Also note that ports below `1024` require user root. After your config is in place use the following commands: sudo start realms-wiki sudo stop realms-wiki sudo restart realms-wiki ### Development mode This will start the server in the foreground with auto reloaded enabled: realms-wiki dev ### Other commands Usage: realms-wiki [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... Options: --help Show this message and exit. Commands: auth configure Set config.json, expects JSON encoded string create_db Creates DB tables dev Run development server drop_db Drops DB tables pip Execute pip commands, useful for virtualenvs restart Restart server run Run production server (alias for start) setup Start setup wizard setup_upstart Start upstart conf creation wizard start Run server daemon status Get server status stop Stop server test Run tests version Output version Access from your browser: http://localhost:5000 ## Templating Realms uses Handlebars partials to create templates. Each page that you create can be imported as a partial. This page imports and uses a partial: http://realms.io/_edit/hbs This page contains the content of the partial: http://realms.io/_edit/example-tmpl I locked these pages to preserve them. You can copy and paste into a new page for testing purposes. ## Contributing Issues and pull requests are welcome. Please follow the code style guide.
