A place to chat and communicate: a buffalo forum
Saloon (legacy)
Saloon is a Work in Progress forum based on Buffalo. This particular repository houses the legacy saloon which is no longer maintained.
See saloon for a newer saloon in working condition.
Database setup
One needs a database to run saloon
.
Here is an example, running postgres inside a docker container:
$> docker run --name saloon-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
Create Your Databases
Ok, so you've edited the "database.yml" file and started postgres, now Buffalo can create the databases in that file for you:
$> buffalo db create -a
v4.2.0
created database saloon-test
created database saloon-prod
created database saloon-dev
You can run saloon
to initialize the forum and the content of its database:
$> saloon migrate
> create_users
> create_categories
> create_topics
> create_replies
> create_forums
0.6591 seconds
$> saloon t db:setup
DEBU[2018-03-20T15:39:44+01:00] INSERT INTO users (admin, avatar, created_at, email, full_name, id, password_hash, subscriptions, updated_at, username) VALUES (:admin, :avatar, :created_at, :email, :full_name, :id, :password_hash, :subscriptions, :updated_at, :username)
DEBU[2018-03-20T15:39:44+01:00] INSERT INTO forums (created_at, description, id, logo, title, updated_at) VALUES (:created_at, :description, :id, :logo, :title, :updated_at)
The db:setup
task created an admin
user with (by default) a password admin
.
You change that!
Starting the Application
Buffalo ships with a command that will watch your application and automatically rebuild the Go binary and any assets for you.
That's useful when developing on saloon
.
To do that run the "buffalo dev" command:
$> buffalo dev
If you point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000 you should see a "Welcome to the Saloon Forum" page.
In production, one can instead directly run the saloon
executable:
$> saloon
INFO[0000] Starting application at 127.0.0.1:3000
