## 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

You will need to following packages to get started

sudo apt-get install -y python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev

### Install from Pypi

Easiest way.

pip install realms-wiki

### Installing from 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
sudo npm install -g bower
bower install

virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt
realms-wiki start

NodeJS is for installing [bower](http://bower.io) and it's used for pulling front end dependencies

### OSX / Windows

This app is designed for Linux and I recommend using Vagrant to install on OSX or Windows.

### 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/``` to make sure it's running.

### 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 with 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 it 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/static/;
}

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

### 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

sudo apt-get install -y libpq-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib postgresql-client
realms-wiki pip install psycopg2

_Don't forget to create your database._

## Running

realms-wiki start

### Upstart

Setup upstart with this command.

sudo realms-wiki setup_upstart

This command requires root privs 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


### Developement 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 may copy and paste into a new page to test.
