nimforum
This is Nim's forum. Available at http://forum.nim-lang.org.
Building
You can use nimble (available here)
to get all the necessary
dependencies.
Clone this repo and execute nimble build in this repositories directory.
See also: Running the forum for how to create the database.
Dependencies
The code depends on the RST parser of the Nim compiler and on Jester.
The captchas for registration uses the reCaptcha module.
bcrypt
On macosx you also need to make sure to use the bcrypt >= 0.2.1 module if that is not yet updated you can install it with:
nimble install https://github.com/oderwat/bcryptnim.git@#fix-osx
You may also need to change nimforum.nimble such that it uses 0.2.1 by
changing the dependencies slightly.
[Deps]
Requires: "nim >= 0.14.0, jester#head, bcrypt >= 0.2.1, recaptcha >= 1.0.0"
Running the forum
Important: You need to compile and run createdb to generate the initial database
before you can run forum the first time!
Note: If you do not have a mail server set up locally, you can specify
-d:dev during compilation to prevent nimforum from attempting to send
emails and to automatically activate user accounts
This is as simple as:
nim c -r createdb
After that you can just run forum and if everything is ok you will get the info which URL you need to open in your browser (http://localhost:5000) to access it.
There is an update helper editdb which you can safely ignore for now.
The file cache.nim is included by forum.nim and do
not need to be compiled by you.
