Installation

  1. Unzip the phorkie release file:

    $ tar xjvf phorkie-0.3.0.tar.bz2
    
  2. Create the git directories:

    $ mkdir -p repos/git repos/work
    $ chmod og+w repos/git repos/work
    
  3. Install dependencies

  4. Copy data/config.php.dist to data/config.php and adjust it to your needs:

    $ cp data/config.php.dist data/config.php
    $ $EDITOR data/config.php
    

    Look at config.default.php for values that you may adjust.

  5. Set your web server's document root to /path/to/phorkie/www/

  6. Open phorkie in your web browser

Dependencies

phorkie stands on the shoulders of giants.

It requires the following programs to be installed on your machine:

  • Git v1.7.5 or later
  • PHP v5.3.0 or later
  • PEAR v1.9.2 or later
$ pear install versioncontrol_git-alpha
$ pear install services_libravatar-alpha
$ pear install http_request2
$ pear install pager
$ pear install date_humandiff-alpha

$ pear channel-discover pear.twig-project.org
$ pear install twig/Twig

$ pear channel-discover mediawiki.googlecode.com/svn
$ pear install mediawiki/geshi

$ pear channel-discover zustellzentrum.cweiske.de
$ pear install zz/mime_type_plaindetect-alpha

$ pear channel-discover pear.michelf.ca
$ pear install michelf/Markdown

Note that this version of GeSHi is a bit outdated, but it's the fastest way to install it. If you install it manually be sure to update the path from data/config.default.php.

HowTo

Make git repositories clonable

To make git repositories clonable, you need to install git-daemon (git-daemon-run package on Debian/Ubuntu).

Make the repositories available by symlinking the paste repository directory ($GLOBALS['phorkie']['cfg']['repos'] setting) into /var/cache/git, e.g.:

$ ln -s /home/user/www/paste/repos/git /var/cache/git/paste

Edit your config.php and set the $GLOBALS['phorkie']['cfg']['git']['public'] setting to git://$yourhostname/git/paste/. The rest will be appended automatically.

You're on your own to setup writable repositories.

Protect your site with OpenID

You have the option of enabling OpenID authentication to help secure your pastes on phorkie. Set the $GLOBALS['phorkie']['auth'] values in the data/config.php file as desired.

There are two different types of security you can apply. First, you can restrict to one of three securityLevels:

  • completely open (0)
  • protection of write-enabled functions such as add, edit, etc. (1)
  • full site protection (2)

Additionally, you can restrict your site to listedUsersOnly. You will need to add the individual OpenID urls to the $GLOBALS['phorkie']['auth']['users'] variable.

Get information about paste editors

Phorkie stores the user's OpenID or IP address (when not logged in) when a paste is edited. It is possible to get this information for each single commit:

// IP / OpenID for the latest commit
$ git notes --ref=identity show
127.0.0.1

// show IP / OpenID for a given commit
$ git notes --ref=identity show 29f82a
