This directory/repository contains the website of the technikum29 computer museum. The official installation of this website is available at https://technikum29.de. Documentation about the technical setup can be found at the technikum29 Laboraties (http://labs.technikum29.de).
Since 2019-02-05, this website is managed via Github, the repository can be found at https://github.com/technikum29/technikum29-www
Since Version 6 (20129, the website is fully based on PHP. That means this is a classical website where every single page is a PHP file. The directory structure works like
/de - German pages
/en - English pages
/lib - PHP framework files
/shared - All assets (Pictures, CSS, Javascript)
The menu/sitemap is composed from the files navigation.xml. As this is quite some work, the rendered pages are cached.
If you like Docker, you can build and run a minimal LAMP container by
running ./start-docker.sh. That is, you can run this website on your
computer as simple as
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/technikum29/technikum29-www.git
./technikum29-www/start-docker.sh
and open http://localhost in your browser. Happy editing!
Tip: If you made a shallow copy with the above instructions and want to
commit your changes, you first need to download the whole repository,
for instance with git fetch --unshallow origin. This will download
~300MB of data.
You only need basic PHP extensions to run this website. These are not installed on all systems by default:
There are no other dependencies, this is plain PHP. For running the website, setup a classical webserver with PHP support (say a LAMP stack) and just make this directory accessible in the webroot (ie. http://localhost).
The website can also run in subdirectories (ie. http://example.com/~you)
but requires adaptions with the t29Host system. The file lib/host.php
contains some examples how to generate links in such a setup.
The directory /shared/cache must be writable for the webserver/PHP process.
