🕊️ Project Vireo

Project Vireo is a open-source blog system based on Lumen (Laravel) 5.8.

It is designed to replace Hexo as a slim yet highly extendable and customizable dynamic blog system.

Setup a Server

Buy a server and a domain (if you want)
Prepare the environment (If you are not familiar with this, I suggest using the LAMP script):
- Linux: CentOS 7 or Ubuntu 18.04 recommended
- Apache httpd 2 (Nginx not recommended)
- MariaDB 10 (MySQL also acceptable)
- PHP 7.2.18+
Fork this repository and clone it to the server, then run composer install to install dependencies.
Make up your own configuration in .env file (copy one from .env.example), including a random Webhook key, the longer the better (32-char is OK).
Setup MariaDB with the user, password and database as you edited in .env.
Run php artisan migrate to migrate database tables.
Run php artisan key:generate to generate storage keys.
Run sudo chgrp -R www-data . to change owner to the project folder. Please notice in some distributions the Apache user is called apache instead of www-data.
Run sudo chmod +x auto-deploy.sh to give it execute privilege.
Setup your apache virtual host and add webhook https://your_site.com/deploy using the key in .env to your remote code repository.

Clone your forked repository to your local environment. (It is supposed to have PHP7.2+ and MariaDB installed.) You will find the posts and docs in /recources folder.
Run php -S localhost:8000 -t public to start a development server.
To write a post, run php artisan vireo:post and enter details, the post will be generated as /resources/posts/date-slug/content.md.
To write a document, run php artisan vireo:document and enter details, the document will be generated as /resources/docs/category-date-slug/content.md.
To add images or files, just put them in the same folder where contend.md lies.
Run php artisan vireo:cache to let Vireo read the files and put them in the database.
Refresh the page and you can see the new pages.

You can add more pages or functions by adding controllers, views and routes. Detailed methods can be found in Laravel documentation.
All pages are renderred using Laravel blade template. You can edit them in /resources/views folder. More usage can be found in Laravel documentation.
You can modify CSS stylesheet or JS scripts in /resources/views/layouts/html_base folder.
