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.
MySQL Database. You will need to setup a MySQL Database somewhere. A MariaDB Database works equally well, and is much faster than MySQL.
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.
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 post.go routes.go topic.go user.go utils.go config.go
Alternatively, you could run the run.bat batch file on Windows.
TO-DO
Oh my, you caught me right at the start of this project. There's nothing to see here yet, asides from the absolute basics. You might want to look again later!
