aspic / g-wiki

A simple wiki built with Golang with Git as its back-end.

go-wiki

A KISS wiki built on golang with git as the storage back-end. Content is formatted in markdown syntax. The wiki is rendered with go templates and bootstrap css.

Current running example: wiki.mehl.no

Build and run locally

Ensure that go is installed. Export the GOPATH environment variable to where you checked out the g-wiki project:

export GOPATH=$GOPATH:/some/path/g-wiki/

Download dependencies and compile the binary by:

go get -a
go build -o wiki .

Create a git repository in the files folder:

git init files/

You can now run g-wiki with the standard settings by executing the binary:

./wiki -local=":8080"

Point your web browser to http://localhost:8080/ to see the wiki in action. The wiki tries to store files in a files folder within the project directory. This folder has to exist and be writeable by the user running the g-wiki instance.

Docker

Ensure that docker is installed. The docker file will create a files directory for you, and initialize a git repository there. Rembember that these files are not persistent. Dependent on your environement run docker as root (or not) and execute the following commands:

docker build -t go-wiki:latest .

If this executes succesfully your container is ready:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 go-wiki:latest

This starts the web application in deamon mode, and the application should be accessible on http://localhost:8080/

Search

This is a really nice wiki too for golang.

What do you think about adding search ?
I was thinking of using bleve.
When new files are created, updated and removed i would have to tell the bleve system. The thing could maybe get the hooks off git or the filesystem events.
Curious what your design input is :)
