Pepperminty Wiki is a complete wiki contained in a single file, inspired by @am2064's [Minty Wiki](https://github.com/am2064/Minty-Wiki). It's open source too (under MPL-2.0), so contributions are welcome!
|
|
|
|
Developed by Starbeamrainbowlabs (though contributions from others are welcome!), Pepperminty Wiki has a variety of useful (and cool!) features - such as file upload, a dynamic help page, page revision history, page tags, and more! Other amazing features are in the works too (like a theme gallery, autoupdate, and user watchlists), so check the release notes to see what's been added recently.
|
|
|
|
**Latest Version:** v0.16 (stable) v0.17-dev (development) ([Changelog](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/blob/master/Changelog.md))

## Getting Started
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
- PHP-enabled web-server (must be PHP 7+)
|
|
- PHP session support (for logging in, see [here](https://php.net/manual/en/session.installation.php) for more information)
|
|
- The following PHP extensions:
|
|
- `mbstring` (for utf8 string handling - currently **required**)
|
|
- `imagick` (for preview generation)
|
|
- `fileinfo` (for proper mime type checking of uploaded files)
|
|
- `zip` (for compressing exports)
|
|
- `intl` (for Unicode text normalization when searching and in the id index)
|
|
- Write access to Pepperminty Wiki's own folder (only for editing)
|
|
|
|
### Getting your own copy
|
|
Setting up your own copy of Pepperminty Wiki is easy. Since Pepperminty Wiki works on a module based system, all you need to do is choose the modules you want installed, and then configure your new installation so that it fits your needs. There are several ways to do this:
|
|
|
|
#### Method 1: Using the latest pre-built stable release
|
|
If you want a pre-built stable version, then you can [use the latest release](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/releases/latest). It has a changelog that tells you what has changed since the last release, along with a pre-built version with all the latest modules.
|
|
|
|
#### Method 2: Grabbing the pre-built version from the repository
|
|
If you're feeling lazy, you can grab the bleeding-edge version from this repository, which comes with all the latest modules. You can get it [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/master/build/index.php).
|
|
|
|
#### Method 3: Using the online downloader
|
|
Pepperminty Wiki has a downloader that you can use to select the modules you want to include in your install. The online downloader will give you the latest stable release. You can find it [here](//starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/download.php).
|
|
|
|
#### Method 3.5: Using the downloader offline
|
|
You can also you the downloader offline. Simply clone this repository to your web server and then point your web browser at `your.server/path/to/pepperminty/wiki/download.php`.
|
|
|
|
#### Method 4: Building your own from source
|
|
Pepperminty Wiki can also be built from source (and I do this all the time when testing). Start by cloning the repository. Then go into the `modules` folder and append `.disabled` to the names of any modules you don't want to be included (e.g. `modules/page-edit.php` would become `modules/page-edit.php.disabled`). Then follow the instructions for your platform:
|
|
|
|
##### Windows
|
|
Simply run the `build.bat` script in the root of the repository. It will handle everything for you.
|
|
|
|
##### Linux and Everyone Else
|
|
Run the following commands from the root of the repository in order, adjusting them for your specific platform (these are for a standard Ubuntu Server install):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm build/index.php
|
|
php rebuild_module_index.php
|
|
php build.php
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These commands are also in `build.sh`. You can run that if you want. Here's an explanation of what each command does:
|
|
|
|
1. Deletes the old `index.php` in the build folder that comes with the repository
|
|
2. Rebuilds the module index that the build scripts uses to determine what modules it should include when building
|
|
3. Actually builds Pepperminty Wiki. Outputs to `index.php`.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring
|
|
To configure your new install, make sure that you've loaded the wiki in your browser at least once. Then open `peppermint.json` in your favourite text editor. If you need any help, just contact me or [open an issue](//github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/issues/new).
|
|
|
|
~~Please note that configuration of Pepperminty Wiki will be done through a GUI soon.~~ _Most_ properties are now configurable in a graphical interface! It can be accessed through the _Edit Master Settings_ option in the more menu, or the `configure` action (e.g. `https://wiki.example.com/?action=configure`) if it doesn't appear for you.
|
|
|
|
The [configuration guide](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/peppermint-config-info.php) are all the configuration directives that Pepperminty Wiki (and all the modules included in the repository) understand. It is generated automatically from `peppermint.guiconfig.json`.
|
|
|
|
- [Configuration Guide](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/peppermint-config-info.php)
|
|
- [`peppermint.guiconfig.json`](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/blob/master/peppermint.guiconfig.json))
|
|
|
|
### User Accounts
|
|
User account details are currently stored as an object in `peppermint.json`, under the `users` special setting. Each user has their own object, in which lies their user data.
|
|
|
|
While users can change their own passwords and email addresses, you'll inevitably want to add your own users. Here's how:
|
|
|
|
1. Open `peppermint.json` in your favourite text editor.
|
|
2. Create a new property on the `users` object, whose value is an object and key is the new user's username. Use the existing users for reference.
|
|
3. Hash the new user's password with SHA256, and set it as the `password` parameter on the new user. This can be done in the terminal, online, or with the `hash` action - but make sure you don't leave any traces of your passwords lying around for others to find!
|
|
4. Save `peppermint.json` back to disk.
|
|
|
|
In the future, user accounts will be manageable through a graphical interface. Follow #127 for updates!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API Reference
|
|
I have documented the current API and other things that make Pepperminty Wiki tick that you can use to create your own modules. You can find this documentation in the [Module_API_Docs.md](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/blob/master/Module_API_Docs.md) file in this repository.
|
|
|
|
I've also documented Pepperminty Wiki's entire REST API using [apiDoc](http://apidocjs.com/). You can view the docs [here](https://sbrl.github.io/Pepperminty-Wiki/docs/RestApi/).
|
|
|
|
If you do create a module, I'd love to hear about it. Even better, [send a pull request](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/pulls/new)!
