  • Personalize it, commercialize it, it all depends on you

Goal

Make it to the best Ruby on Rails Blog system in the world.

Running in development mode

WBlog MUST run in Linux or OSX. I assume you are using OS X 10.

You can run it like a Ruby on Rails project as usual:

  1. Check dependencies
ruby -v
# 3.0.1
postgres  --version
# 9.x.x
  1. Clone it

git clone git@github.com:windy/wblog.git

cd wblog

  1. Install dependencies & configure
gem install bundler
bundle install
cp config/application.yml.example config/application.yml
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

Update application.yml & database.yml 's content as you need

  1. Start it
rails s

Open browser with http://localhost:3000

If there is any error found, please check your database's user and password.

  1. Post the first blog

visit: http://localhost:3000/admin, input your username and password configurated in application.yml. then, post a new article.

OK, That's all.

Deployment

WBlog uses mina as automation deployment tool, uses puma as the Rack container.

WBlog recommends nginx as reverse proxy server.

It will be very fast.

Ruby on Rails project deployment is another topic, I would NOT talk it here.

You can read WBlog wiki for more information: WBlog 的发布流程(Chinese only now)
