# Grosolo
|
|
|
|
A super fast forum software written in Go.
|
|
|
|
The initial code-base was forked from one of my side projects, and converted from the web framework it was using.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Features
|
|
Basic Forum Functionality
|
|
|
|
Custom Pages
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Go. The programming language this program is written in, and the compiler which it requires. You will need to install this. https://golang.org/doc/install
|
|
|
|
MySQL Database. You will need to setup a MySQL Database somewhere. A MariaDB Database works equally well, and is much faster than MySQL.
|
|
If you're curious about how to install this, you might want to try the WNMP or XAMPP bundles on Windows.
|
|
Instructions on how to do so on Linux: https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Installation Instructions
|
|
|
|
**Run the following commands:**
|
|
|
|
go install github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql
|
|
|
|
go install golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt
|
|
|
|
Tweak the config.go file and put your database details in there. Import data.sql into the same database. Comment out the first line (put /* and */ around it), if you've already made a database, and don't want the script to generate it for you.
|
|
|
|
Set the password column of your user account in the database to what you want your password to be. The system will encrypt your password when you login for the first time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Run the program
|
|
|
|
go run errors.go main.go pages.go reply.go routes.go topic.go user.go utils.go forum.go group.go files.go config.go
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you could run the run.bat batch file on Windows.
