DailyAugur

DailyAugur is a news paper / blogging software inspired by the news paper from Harry Potter.

DailyAugur is based on a simple docker-compose deployment of Apache2, PHP 7.0 and MySQL 5.5 (which is the latest version for ARM-based devices).

The apache2-php container is based on Debian.

Getting Started With DailyAugur

• Install docker and docker-compose
• clone this repo to the computer you want to run DailyAugur on (or just download and unpack the zip file)
• run fix_permissions.sh (this is very important, if you run into trouble uploading images later you probably forgot this)
• modify DAILYAUGUR_PATH inside DailyAugur.sh to match your installation directory
• modify COMPOSE_FILE inside DailyAugur.sh to
  • amd64.yaml (AMD64)
  • armhf.yaml (ARM)
• change AUTH_PASSWORD inside your .yaml file to a strong password
  • (optional) change AUTH_USERNAME too
• open your webbrowser and open the IP address of the computer running the DailyAugur installation at port 8082

Server Control

• start the server by running DailyAugur.sh or DailyAugur.sh start
• to stop the server just run DailyAugur.sh stop
• to stop the server and delete the docker containers, run DailyAugur.sh delete.
• to rebuild the images and start the server, run DailyAugur.sh build.

Server Autostart

If you want to automatically start DailyAugur when starting the computer, you can e.g. create a cron job that runs DailyAugur.sh.

Backups

Your database will be stored in the mysql-data directory and your website data will be stored in src.
You can easily make a backup of your server data by copying these directories to your backup target.

Security

DailyAugur uses HTTP Basic Authentication to handle authorisation on the admin area.
HTTP Basic Authentication does not provide ANY encryption, so you should make sure that you enforce TLS encryption of the connection to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.

Touch Support

DailyAugur supports touch navigation. Just swipe left/right on an article to get to the next/previous one.

Used Libraries And Fonts

DailyAugur makes use of several libraries:

• Bootstrap 4 (admin area styling)
• FontAwesome (icons)
• jQuery (needed by Bootstrap)
• Popper.JS (needed by Bootstrap)

It also uses the Mugglenews font as the main font for the page header and Noto Sans for the page content.

The Noto Sans font is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. which can be found in the NotoSansLicense.txt file.

Logging

DailyAugur will log errors and some other events to src/log.txt.

Legacy Software

For compatibility reasons to ARMHF, this project uses MySQL 5.5. This may change as newer versions become available as docker images for ARMHF.
