If you (like me, due to re-publishing needs) use relative paths to images in your wiki, you may notice that they (1) break in the editor due to the /_edit/ URL scheme. This is similar to travs/markdown-pdf#8. They also (2) needlessly appear in the Index, along with files like .gitignore.

Is there a preferred development route to resolve this, or are users advised not to store assets in their wiki repo?

The current js yaml lib is quite large, I think we only need to support basic data structures.

Can you provide a script to be able to run realms-wiki on mac os x ( without apt-get ) ?
An Homebrew package can be a really good option.

Thanks

In my fix for #44 (changing owner), the filesystem dates are changed. So the creation/modification times in the Index are no longer accurate. Would it be possible to use the more reliable timestamps in the Git log instead? It would also be nice if the Index only showed Markdown files.

I installed realms-wiki with pip, created a realms-wiki.json using realms-wiki setup, realms-wiki start to start service and it seems to be fine in the browser. But when I tried to create a user by command ...

realms-wiki auth create_user username [email protected]

It returned:

raise RuntimeError('application not registered on db ' 
RuntimeError: application not registered on db instance and no application bound to current context

How should I solve this problem? Thanks!

Realms should return to the Edit screen in case there is any problem saving the content, notifying the user (as with the logged out message) to avoid data loss.

In my installation a user began reporting lost content. No errors, no popups, just edits that were gone as soon as she clicked Publish. In trying to reproduce the problem, I noticed erroneous permissions in the filesystem. Instead of deploy:deploy the owner became root:root on some of the files.

This is likely because I am synchronising the Git repository using an external git process as well as Realms. To me the ability to do this is one of the top features of the wiki. I am now ensuring that permissions are being correctly set, however the wiki interface must do everything possible to avoid data loss: in this case, at least alerting the user if the save did not succeed.

When changing the page name, the wiki attempts to do a rename operation in git (or move). This history for said page contains history entries that simple doesn't seem right. I have to work on recreating the issue.

It would be nice to manage subpages and/or subdirectories with realms-wiki.
E.g.: http://realms.io/asdf is a page and http://realms.io/asdf/subpage would be a subpage.

C

Setup command will ask basic questions and generate a config.json that overrides default values.

An option to choose HTTP Basic authentication bypassing the built-in.

Also, when a user is successfully authenticated and not exists, will be created.

Another nice feature could be that realms-wiki manages the authentication file.

Metadata can be separated from the Markdown and does have it's advantages. It can have a dedicated editor with YAML syntax highlighting. Also, less crowding of the main editor.

The metadata could even be it a separate file with separate revision history as opposed to prepending it.

home.md
home.yaml

When home is loaded, home.md is loaded, and if home.yaml exists, it's loaded as metadata. A branch worthy feature with implications I probably haven't thought of.

I'm trying to run realms-wiki as root using realms-wiki run or realms-wiki start. I get this output:

Server started. Port: 5000
Using default configuration

or

Server started. Port: 5000
Using config: ./realms-wiki.json

Now If I try to go on http://localhost:5000 I get: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

If I run the same wiki using realms-wiki dev, this is the output:

Starting development server
Using config: ./realms-wiki.json
 * Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
 * Restarting with stat
Starting development server
Using config: ./realms-wiki.json

and the wiki is working.

Another strange behaviour is that after started the server, if I check its status, the server is turned off:

root@MACHINE:/opt# realms-wiki start
Server started. Port: 5000
Using config: ./realms-wiki.json
root@MACHINE:/opt# realms-wiki status
Server is not running

Python 2.7.9 and pip 1.5.6.

What is going wrong here?

Create and commit a file in the repository called Capital.md.

echo "### File with Capitalized Name" > Capital.md

The index finds the file and allows you to open it, but there is no content.

This would be quite important for keeping things sane, since renaming a page clones it, and things are flat now. Yes, deleting via git seems to work fine (any issues to watch out for?) Yes, the question of undelete will come up (a log filter trashcan?) But, nonfunctioning buttons do not inspire user trust.

Setting "ALLOW_ANON": false in the configuration file does not actually prevent anonymous users from editing or creating pages in the wiki. The "new" and "edit" buttons still appear in the UI and anonymous edits are saved and commited in git as [email protected].

When a limited number of people are involved in editing of a public wiki, it is useful to prevent registration of new users.

It would be nice to have a workaround, turning off preview and just a TEXTAREA for the wiki to be editable on tablets (e.g. iPad iOS 7). Scrolling, selecting, arrow keys, are broken right now. Or is there a better plan?

During run time.

I have seen the changes of urls when I click create and edit. It's not the standard RESTful API which treats the documents as resources.

Known issue with Ace. I may just check UA and use plain textarea instead.

Creating a new page seems to work great, but then I can't get any edits to save. Pressing save redirects as if everything worked fine, but the changes are not there.

Hey!

When editing/creating pages as a registered user in a realms-wiki with ALLOW_ANON set to false, publishing will always fail with "Anonymous posting not allowed".

In realms/modules/wiki/views.py, line 39 and 113 you do:

    if not current_app.config.get('ALLOW_ANON') and current_user.is_anonymous: 
      return dict(error=True, message="Anonymous posting not allowed"), 403

current_user.is_anonymous is a method, not a property, this statement will always be True if ALLOW_ANON is False. adding parentheses helps.

    if not current_app.config.get('ALLOW_ANON') and current_user.is_anonymous(): 
      return dict(error=True, message="Anonymous posting not allowed"), 403

Libgit2 supports different backends. See https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2-backends

This wiki uses dulwich which is a python git implementation, not libgit2 bindings like PyGit2. I can adapt the site to use either library I'm sure, but I don't believe either one support different backends besides filesystem and memory.

Solving this will enable this to become a 12-factor app, but I don't know how to do it.

It seems that gittle.rm() is not working. See this lines:

• https://github.com/scragg0x/realms-wiki/blob/master/realms/modules/wiki/models.py#L133
• https://github.com/scragg0x/realms-wiki/blob/master/realms/modules/wiki/models.py#L159

After that command, in the commit there isn't the removed file and the file persist on file system.

Do you know why this is not working and how to solve this issue?

How can I solve this issue?

This may be related to the Relative Links issue #18 - Now, when I have a link like:

[test](test.md)

And click on it, it creates a file names

testmd.md

Shouldn't strip the dot in my opinion.

Thanks,
Bruce

As a wiki system, search is really important. I think ElasticSearch could be the powerful and easy way to do that.

This can happen easily if more than on browser is open or an edit occurs on a page where you have a draft. The user should be informed that a change occurred and given a choice to discard draft, keep, or, gulp, merge with the latest version (at least see the changes).

First of all I like this wiki system, it's really nice 😄 👍

But when I installed it, i found two things, that are improvable.

It would be nice, to use realms-wiki as a "private" wiki. So nobody can sees anything until he is logged in. This way I like to use it. So I solved this problem by adding to every route in the views.py @login_required. Maybe theres a way to make this configurable?

And after all the installation is a bit complicated. Are there ways to simplify this?

Now I'm reading the raw README file in realms-wiki github page. We should rename it as "README.md" so that Github will render the markdown file into HTML.

Do you plan on implementing namespaces (or similar features like tags or categories)?
Wikis with a lot of pages can get quite messy if everything is in the same namespace.

Using sub folders in the base git repository would be the easiest way to achieve some sort of categories/namespaces, although limiting the flexibility by allowing a page to be in one category only. But imho it's the only way to reproduce the wiki's structure in the file system.

Storing this information in a page's metadata on the other hand forces realms to look into each file - meh.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi, as said in the title, i got a 500 error in the history when the wiki is empty.

Make it tabbed like Ghost.

I'm wondering why the user's setting page is blank (also on your demo on http://realms.io).

Reading the source code, I guess that something has to be printed on the page. Supposed stack trace:

1. modules/auth/views.py
2. templates/auth/settings.html
3. templates/macros.html

Really slick project! One thing I noticed (unless I'm mistaken) is right now it doesn't seem like there is much facility for structured navigation around a wiki with multiple pages.

Some ideas for things that might help:

• Ability to add a sidebar to some pages (a common feature with some wikis, like Gollum)
• Some way to generate a list of links to all pages? (I.e. in the Github wiki)
• Subpages (or categories, tags) would probably be helpful with generating any sort of auto-generated nav links. The left sidebar at https://torchpad.com/ might be an example to consider

I'm wondering why you are using latin-1 encode on https://github.com/scragg0x/realms-wiki/blame/master/realms/modules/wiki/models.py#L180-L181 or https://github.com/scragg0x/realms-wiki/blob/master/realms/modules/wiki/models.py#L66 instead of UTF8.

I know that it is smaller for store data, but it is not so wider in character encoding as UTF8.

There is any particular reason?

When I try to create a new document with the same name of the previous one, it successes and the previous one is overrided with no alert. I think we should prevent from creating the same-name document and it would be better to remind us of editting the existing one.

I regularly get the message "your draft differs .." but am confused by what's going on. Am I looking at the draft saved on my local machine, or remote? What's the difference between the buttons? The non-functioning diff button does not help. If you could explain what's going on a little, maybe we could come up with a better UI.

Realms looks really good - great work!!

Is it possible to have RSS for Realms?

Why,

• so can feed feeds of a page or group of pages
  -- and also limit the rss scope
• so you can host a blog using realms

This is probably not what you expect people to use realms for, but they will :)

Thanks

Justin

question

Upon discovering the error mentioned in #33, I also discovered that error messages are displayed incorrectly:

I've installed realms-wiki using pip on Debian 7.7 (Python 2.7.3). This happens in Firefox and Chrome.

When running the current Docker build, the VM endlessly cycles in /sbin/my_init, with log messages like:

./run: line 33: setuid: command not found
./run: line 34: setgid: command not found
./run: line 39: respawn: command not found

It seemed something is amiss with the base image? I tried swapping out realms-base for:

FROM phusion/baseimage:0.9.15
RUN useradd -M deploy

But that had no effect.

It should persist in localstorage.

If person A is typing something in the edit box and person B begins typing somewhere else in the edit box, person A's cursor resets its position to the top left most corner of the edit box. This is unintuitive and likely a bug.

Do relative links (i.e. no http and domain - test ) not work, or am I don't something wrong?

Was trying to not have to have the full domain, etc. in all the links.

Thanks!
Bruce

Sorry for creating an issue to ask questions, but I couldn't find a mailing list for the realms-wiki project.

Thanks for realms-wiki which sounds great and has a very appealing web interface!

I was wondering why realms-wiki needs a database (sqlite, mysql or postgres) if it is a Git based wiki: does realms-wiki really use a Git repository as storage?

I'm also interested in updating realms-wiki pages directly from Git cli (without using the web interface): does realms-wiki supports updating the wiki when we git push our changes to a repository (like Gollum)?

Last question, on http://realms.io/ the title is "Realms Wiki Beta": do you consider it as beta software, or can it be run in production? Is the project still active, and is there a roadmap somewhere?

Thanks!

It redirects to the home document automatically but I want to see all my documents. How can I review the other documents without remembering their titles?

It would be very nice be able to control who can view and log into the wiki. an invite system would be gravy.

If there is interest i would contribute to a bountysource to make it happen.
