# freepost

This is the code powering [freepost](https://freepo.st), a free
discussion board that allows users to post text and links that other
users can read and comment.

# Development

## Setup Python3 virtual environment

cd freepost-directory
python3 -m venv venv (if this doesn't work, try `virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv`)
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

## Run test server

source venv/bin/activate
python3 -m bottle --debug --reload --bind 127.0.0.1:8000 freepost

# Deployment

- Copy all files to your `public_html` folder
- Rename `.htaccess.wsgi` or `.htaccess.cgi` to `.htaccess` (if you use CGI or WSGI)
- Change settings in `settings.yaml` if needed
- Create Python virtual environment
For tuxfamily only: run `newgrp freepost` before creating the virtenv, for quota reasons
- Create a new empty SQLite database: `cat database.schema.sql | sqlite3 database.sqlite`
- Make sure `settings.yaml` has restricted permissions, for instance `0600`.
If the SQLite database is located in the same HTML folder, make sure this too has
restricted access

Everything should be setup and working. Make sure your CGI or WSGI server is
configured correctly.
