Indoor Wiki is a program you can use to browse Markdown files in a directory. Maybe it's not a wiki in the sense that anyone can edit pages through the web interface -- although the intended use case is one where people can edit the Markdown files themselves in the same repo used for their code, so it's not that far off.
It's written as a demo for ppx_sexp,
sxmlm,
ocaml-scgi,
and OCaml as a platform for web
development.
It's also using it to experiment with how I think OCaml projects should be in
terms of style, organization, and infrastructure (e.g. the car script).
You end up with pages that look like this:
Indoor Wiki has a few dependencies, most of which are managed through OPAM. Some you will have to install manually.
See the car repository. car is a collection of aliases for building OCaml projects.
Run git clone https://github.com/jonathanyc/ocaml-cmark.git
Then opam pin add ocaml-cmark
Run hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/jyc/sxmlm.
Then opam pin add sxmlm
Install nginx. On Arch Linux you can run pacman -S nginx. On OS X you can use
brew install nginx.
Run git clone https://github.com/esperco/ocaml-scgi.
Then cd ocaml-scgi and make world.
I had some problems building ocaml-scgi at the time of writing, for which I
made a pull request. If you have problems you can try my fork, and do git clone https://github.com/jonathanyc/ocaml-scgi instead. The only change is to
the myocamlbuild.ml.
ocaml-scgi requires batteries and uri.
Run opam pin add indoor-wiki ..
The opam file specifies to OPAM how Indoor Wiki is to be built and installed.
If you are upgrading from a previous version you should be able to run opam upgrade indoor-wiki.
Run indoor -port 8080. This will automatically launch an Nginx server
configured to reverse proxy to an SCGI server (Indoor Wiki) at 8081.
Run indoor -noembed -port 8080. This will start Indoor Wiki serving SCGI on
port 8080.
I am working on adding developer documentation. It will be stored in the
pages/ directory, for viewing with Indoor Wiki!
