Getting started

The CMS that powers the site is developed in Node.js, download the tarball and install it if not present:

configure
ke
do make install

The CMS uses MongoDB 2 as a backend database; to install and start it up:

do apt-get install mongodb
do mongod

Install the dependencies of this “app” which is blad and then whatever packages you will be using in your site code; use package.json to define those then run:

m install -d

Define the config for your site in config.json:

"mongodb": "mongodb://localhost:27017/documents",
"browserid": {
    "provider": "https://browserid.org/verify",
    "salt":     "Q?RAf!CAkus?ejuCruKu",
    "users": [
        "radek.stepan@gmail.com"
    ]
}

mongodb

A uri to a MongoDB database

browserid.provider

A BrowserID provider, the default is Persona.org by Mozilla

browserid.salt

A salt used to hash credentials so that an API key can be generated and used by the Chaplin admin. Do not leave it to default unless you know what you are doing!

browserid.users

An array of email addresses of people that should have access to the backend admin. If they have not created an account with the BrowserID provider, they will be offered a chance to do so on their first login to the site.

Finally start the service, take note that if you wish to start it on a specific port, pass it in as the process.env.PORT variable:

de start.js

If you need to define your custom page types and styles (you do), follow the guide associated with the blað CMS project page.

Database backup

Two helpful functions have been exposed to let you export/import pages of your CMS. Call them like so:

de export.js
de import.js

Be aware that the import wipes the database clean first!
