hectorcorrea.com

This used to be the source code of the site that powers my personal site at http://hectorcorrea.com but it is not anymore. The site is now powered by the code in https://github.com/hectorcorrea/hectorcorrea.github.io

Notice I am pretty new to Go and this might not follow Go recommended practices but I am using it as my sandbox and it is running in production.

How to run the site

# Get the code
git clone https://github.com/hectorcorrea/hectorcorrea.com.git
cd hectorcorrea.com

# Compile the code
go build  

# and run it with the default sample configuration
source .env_sample
./hectorcorrea.com

# browse to localhost:9001

Once the site is running

Browse to http://localhost:9001/auth/login to login. Use user user1 password welcome1

Then go to http://localhost:9001/blog and click new to add a new blog.

Structure of the source code

• main.go launches the web server
• web/ routes requests to the proper models.
• models/ connect to the database.
• views/ contains the views.

The database

Data will be stored in text files via the textodb package.

By default data is stored in ./data/ but you can configure this via the environment variable DB_ROOT_DIR

The first time the server is run it will automatically create a user.xml file with the user name and password indicated in the following environment variables, the values in parenthesis are the default values if you don't specify them.

• BLOG_USR (user1)
• BLOG_PASS (welcome1)
• BLOG_SALT ()

You can see where these values are used in models/user.go

Questions, comments, thoughts?

This is a very rough work in progress as I learn and play with Go.

Feel free to contact me with questions or comments about this project.
