About

This is Blog website for personal usage. Currently, frontend styling is written for my personal blog. Maybe in the future I might add support for custom themes, and general blog generator features.

If you want to run this project yourself, feel free.

The Upsert page is under /articles/upsert.

When adding or updating a post, you can add any number of Tags. A minimum of 1 is required. To do this, you can simply click the Tag label on the upsert page, and a new input field will appear.

Running locally

Dependencies

• postgres 13
• .Net 6

You will need to generate a self signed certificate for local development using dotnet dev-certs https --trust. More info here: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/DevelopingLocallyWithASPNETCoreUnderHTTPSSSLAndSelfSignedCerts.aspx

Hashset uses basic authentication for the author to "log in". SSL is a must in production (should be regardless).

You will also need to set several configuration options, either in the appsettings.json, your environment variables, or using dotnet user-secrets as detailed here. They are:

• ConnectionString: The postgres connection string
• AuthorUsername: The username of the author for use by Basic Authentication
• AuthorPassword: The password of the author for use by Basic Authentication

Ideally, you should be able to simply run: dotnet tool restore, dotnet build, and dotnet run. It installs paket and fake-cli as local tools and they should be good to go out of the box.

Postgres quickstart command in docker: docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_DB=hashset -dp 5432:5432 --name postgres postgres:13-alpine

Building a docker container

This is where the fake build script comes into play. fake build will read the latest version from release-notes.md and build a docker container with that version as the tag. The build script requires your docker username as the environment variable USERNAME, with which it will tag the docker image
