Install ¶

Mostly it was pretty easy

• Grabbed the tar from debian
• Followed install instructions from Ikiwiki's install page

tar xvzf ikiwiki_3.20160121.tar.gz
cd ikiwiki_3.20160121
sudo PERL5LIB=`pwd` PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
sudo PERL5LIB=`pwd` PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki::Extras")'
make
sudo make install

OpenID Setup ¶

Ikiwiki requires an OpenID setup.

You can login to Ikiwiki with OpenID, and I think that's neat!

Since OpenID is somewhat dead, I decided to setup a personal SimpleID.

I put this all on the analytics server.

First I had to create a DNS record for openid.tylercipriani.com so letsencrypt would work.

Then I made a new letsencrypt cert:

/usr/local/src/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone -d openid.tylercipriani.com

Then I grabbed and installed openid

cd /usr/local/src
curl -sLO http://downloads.sourceforge.net/simpleid/simpleid-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf simpleid-1.0.1.tar.gz
mkdir /srv/www/openid.tylercipriani.com
mv simpleid/{cache,identities,store,www} /srv/www/openid.tylercipriani.com
mv /srv/www/openid.tylercipriani.com/{config.php.dist,config.php}

Edited the config.php file, changed root webserver and the pretty url thing

I also made a virtualserver: openid.tylercipriani.com

Identity file: thcipriani.identity

identity="https://tylercipriani.com/"
password="blah:sha1:salt"
administrator=1
[user_info]
...
[sreg]
...

Blog setup ¶

The things that I didn't understand about Ikiwiki:

1. htmlscrubber removes all your scripts
2. Some changes to the setup file (like git_wrapper updates) require you to run ikiwiki --changesetup [setupfile]
3. I am running a staging wiki on my laptop, a wiki on my webserver, and then pushing the compiled files to s3: WAT‽
