femtowiki

Femtowiki is a tiny wiki written in golang. It has few dependencies and uses very little javascript. Try the latest version hosted here. Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions or want support.

How to use

By default, sqlite is used, so it's easy to get started. Download the binary and migrate the database with:

./femtowiki -migrate

Create a superadmin:

./femtowiki -createsuperuser

Finally, start the server:

./femtowiki

Notes

Femtowiki allows users to create, modify, and delete pages and files. Admin users control who can perform various actions with the following level of granularity.

• Users belonging to the PageMaster group can create, modify, and delete all pages.
• Users belonging to the FileMaster group can upload and delete files.
• For users outside the PageMaster and FileMaster groups, read and edit rights can be restricted at the level of individual pages and files.
• Groups can be created and modified only by admin users.
• The special group everybody represents all users and cannot be modified.
• New user registration can be disabled (but admin users can still signup users).

Dependencies

• Go 1.8 (only for compiling)
• Postgres 9.5 (or use embedded sqlite3)

Options

• -addr <port>: Use ./femtowiki -addr :8086 to listen on port 8086.
• -dbdriver <db> and -dsn <data_source_name>: PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported. SQLite is the default driver.

To use postgres, run ./femtowiki -dbdriver postgres -dsn postgres://pguser:pgpasswd@localhost/dbname

To save an sqlite db at a different location, run ./femtowiki -dsn path/to/mywiki.db.
