honky/compound-blog

just a small node js blog written in compound js

Welcome to compound-blog###

This is a project nearly every Webdeveloper does from time to time - writing a blog or cms from scratch using the programming language he or she wants to learn. So do I, and I invite everybody to take part in this compound js, bootstrap 3 thing.

To install and run it yourself:

1. run git clone https://github.com/honky/compound-blog to clone the repository
2. run cd compound-blog to change to the considered dir
3. run npm install -l to install required modules (see a list at package.json)
4. run sudo npm install compound -g to use the compound framework
5. run compound db update to create the sqlite database tables
6. run compound seed to seed the sqlite database with sample data
7. to run the server in debug mode use: compound server 8888
8. open a browser localhost:8888 and try user and password as credentials to login the system
9. ???
10. Profit!

The system is in development, sadly far from done.
