A system for managing a digital log with git.
Place a configuration file in the $(HOME)/.dlog/dlog.conf. Its contents should be something like:
user-name=email@domain.org
path=/home/username/.dlog
editor=vi
Enable a firewall on your machine. On ubuntu do
$ sudo ufw enable
$ sudo ufw status
$ sudo apt install apache2
$ sudo systemctl status apache2
Edit /etc/hosts to contain the entry
127.0.0.1 dlog
$ sudo mkdir /var/www/dlog
$ sudo chown jrmales:jrmales /var/www/dlog
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/dlog
$ vi /var/www/dlog/index.html
And make it say:
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to dlog</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Success! The dlog virtual host is working!</h1>
</body>
</html>
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/dlog.conf
and make it say:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName dlog
ServerAlias dlog
DocumentRoot /var/www/dlog
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
$ sudo a2ensite dlog.conf
$ sudo apache2ctl configtest
You can ignore a fully qualified domain name warning about 127.0.0.1. If it otherwise says "Syntax OK", then
$ systemctl reload apache2
Now visiting http://dlog from your favorite browser should show a message about dlog.
$ sudo a2enmod cgid
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/conf-available/cgi-enabled.conf
<Directory "/var/www/dlog">
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory>
$ sudo a2enconf cgi-enabled
$ systemctl reload apache2
$ sudo cp ~/Source/c/mxApps/dlog/dlogquery /var/www/dlog/index.cgi
$ sudo chmod 705 /var/www/dlog/index.cgi
$ sudo rm /var/www/dlog/index.html
