# eidolon ## DISLAIMER This project is no longer maintained and the test instance no longer runs. This repo just exists for posterity. ## Introduction A image gallery service written in Haskell as a yesod webapp. Visit the test instance at [eidolon.nek0.eu][eidolon] ## Installation ### Dependencies #### Build dependencies A working Haskell capable environment. For that you will need `ghc` and `cabal-install`, which you can install with: ```bash sudo apt-get install ghc cabal-install ``` Now you can set up your cabal with `cabal update` and follow its instructions. With this you will have also installed the latest GHC Haskell compiler on your system. Additionally to Haskell and its dependencies you will need the following software and libraries: * alex * happy * unzip * libpq-dev * postgresql * libfftw3-dev * npm * nodejs-legacy * libpoppler-glib-dev * libcairo2-dev * libgtk2.0-dev * libmagic-dev Which can be installed through ```bash sudo apt-get install alex happy unzip libpq-dev postgresql npm nodejs-legacy libpoppler-glib-dev libcairo2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libfftw3-dev libmagic-dev ``` Additionally you need bower, purescript and pulp: ```bash npm install -g bower npm install -g purescript npm install -g pulp ``` For migrations also install: * libmagic-dev #### Elasticsearch dependencies **WARNING: THIS SECTION IS ONLY VALID FOR VERSIONS >= 0.0.5 and < 0.1.0.0** Since version 0.0.5 there is an Elasticsearch integration for Eidolon. To Be able to run eidolon , you need to install `elasticsearch` additionally with: ```bash sudo apt-get install elasticsearch ``` On how to configure your elasticsearch server, look into the [elasticsearch documentation][elasticdocu]. ### Building Get the source with ```bash git clone https://github.com/nek0/eidolon.git ``` Build your sandbox with ```bash cabal sandbox init ``` Build the source with ```bash make all ``` Everything should work automagically from there. ## Deploying First you need to set up your database, which just needs to be created. Additionally you connect to your database (with `psql` or similar) and activate the `pg_trgm` extension to the database with ```sql CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm; ``` After compiling you will find an executable called `eidolon` in `dist/build/eidolon/eidolon`. Copy or link it anywhere you want. The executable needs to be accompanied by the folders `config` and `static` and their contents. It's best to copy them to your desired destination. Also check `config/settings.yml` and set the values there according to your configuration. The field `contactEmail` is optional, you can comment it out, but be aware. In certain jurisdictions you are required to give some contact information. It may also be necessary to create a reverse proxy to your gallery. I would recommend using [nginx](http://nginx.org/). ## Customizing Unfortunately the gallery is not highly customizable, but you can change most of its appearance by changing the files `static/css/main.css`. Especially the default background image can be changed by replacing `static/css/img/bg.jpg`. ## Starting You can start the gallery now by running the executable. You need to provide a settings file as argument, normally found in `config/settings.yml` Since eidolon will block your console, I recommend wrapping a init-script around it. how you can do that is written in my [blog](http://nek0.eu/posts/2014-10-23-Daemonize-a-yesod-app.html). ## Migrations ### 0.0.3-0.0.4 * do not start or restart your eidolon service before migration * run migration script from your run location (where your `static` folder with all the images is located) * if you are building in a sandbox run `runghc -package-db/full/path/to/sandbox/XXX-ghc-version-packages.conf.d /path/to/eidolon/Migrations/0.0.3-0.0.4/Migration.hs` * Note: No space between the option `-package-db` and its argument * without sandbox: `runghc /path/to/eidolon/Migrations/0.0.3-0.0.4/Migration.hs` * start or restart your eidolon service ### 0.0.4-0.0.5 * run migration script from your run location (where your `static` folder with all the images is located) * if you are building in a sandbox run `runghc -package-db/full/path/to/sandbox/XXX-ghc-version-packages.conf.d /path/to/eidolon/Migrations/0.0.4-0.0.5/Migration.hs` * Note: No space between the option `-package-db` and its argument * without sandbox: `runghc /path/to/eidolon/Migrations/0.0.4-0.0.5/Migration.hs` * start or restart your eidolon service ### 0.0.7-0.1.0.0 You have two options to accomplish the migration: 1. Build the migration binary with `cabal exec -- ghc --make Migrations/0.0.7-0.1.0.0/Migration.hs` and run the executable in your run location. 2. Link the `static/data/` folder from your link location in the same location in the project directory and run `cabal exec -- runghc Migrations/0.0.7-0.1.0.0/Migration.hs` ### 0.1.2.4-0.1.3.0 * Stop Eidolon * Log into your database and issue this command: `ALTER TABLE "comment" DROP COLUMN "author_slug";` * Start Eidolon ### 0.1.3.3-0.1.4.0 * Stop eidolon * Compile migration script with `cabal exec -- ghc --make Migrations/0.1.3.3-0.1.4.0/Migration.hs` * Copy or move compiled script to run location and execute * Follow the prompts of the script * Start eidolon ### 0.1.4.0-0.1.5.0 * Stop eidolon * Compile migration script with `cabal exec -- ghc --make Migrations/0.1.4.0-0.1.5.0/Migration.hs` * Copy or move compiled script to run location and execute * Follow the prompts of the script * Start eidolon ### 0.1.5.6-0.1.6.0 * Just restart eidolon. It handles the rest automagically. ### 0.1.6.1-0.1.7.0 * No database changes. Just restart eidolon. ### 0.1.7.2-0.1.8.0 * No database changes, just new dependencies to install. ### 0.1.8.8-0.1.9.0 * Run `ALTER TABLE "token" DROP COLUMN "user";` and `truncate token;` from your postgres console. * You can drop the table `activator` from the database. It is no longer needed. ### 0.1.9.3-0.1.10.0 * Nothing to do, just internal changes. ### 0.1.10.0-0.1.11.0 * Only new dependencies to install. You might also want to check out the new function to repopulate the thumbnail images, if you have some of them corrupted by unhandled EXIF data. ### 0.1.11.2-0.1.11.3 * Activate the `pg_trgm` extension for your database with `CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;`. ## Acknowledgements: * This software uses the web Framework "Yesod" by Michael Snoyman.
