piki

Piki is a minimal wiki.

Installation

Get the repository

Go to the subfolder, where you want to create your new Piki-Application (here ~/tmp)

cd ~/tmp

Clone the repository

git clone https://git.mount-mockery.de/application/piki.git

Change to your repository and initialise it completely

cd piki
git submodule init
git submodule update

Create your virtual environment

Create python3 environment

python3 -m venv venv

Activate the environment

source venv/bin/activate

Install PaTT Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration and Initialisation of Piki

Create your config File

Copy the config example

cp config_example/config.py .
chmod 700 config.py

Set a secret key

Edit config.py and add a SECRET_KEY. Generate the secret e.g by executing the following command:

python manage.py

At the End of the error message you’ll see a random secret:

KeyError: “You need to create a config.py file including at least a SECRET_KEY definition (e.g.: --> ‘HERE IS THE RANDOM SECRET ;-)’ <--).”

Create your initial database and first user for Patt

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

Finalise Configuration

Now there are two ways to finalise your configuration. The first way is for a test or development system. The other is for a production System.

Test or development System: Edit config.py and set the Variable DEBUG to True.
Production System: Edit config.py and set the Variable ALLOWED_HOSTS. Execute “python manage.py collectstatic” to create a folder including all static files. Then add PaTT to your server configuration. See also Django Documnetation for further information.

Start the Test or development System

Go to the folder, where your PaTT-Application is locates (here ~/tmp/piki)

cd ~/tmp/piki

Activate your Virtual Environment

source activate

Start the Server

python manage.py runserver

Backup

Create Backup files

source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py dumpdata --natural-foreign --natural-primary -e contenttypes -e sessions -e auth.Permission -e sessions -e pages --indent 2 > dump_pages.json
tar -cvzf dump_data.tgz data/media data/pages data/media

Restore Backup

source venv/bin/activate

If you are starting without a database, you need to create one

python manage.py migrate

Afterward add data step by step to the database.

python manage.py loaddata dump_pages.json
rm -rf data/pages data/media
tar -xvzf dump_data.tgz
