Group collaboration tools for hackers in forts.
Dependencies:
- Several collaborating hackers
- A fort, castle or other defensive structure
- No internet connection
Bugle is a Twitter-like application for groups of hackers collaborating in a castle (or fort, or other defensive structure) with no internet connection. Bugle combines Twitter-style status updates with a pastebin and a group todo list. It also has a rudimentary API allowing automated scripts (such as the included subversion post-commit hook) to post messages in an unobtrusive way.
It was built as a side project during a /dev/fort week in a Scottish castle. See AUTHORS for contributors.
Bugle is released under a BSD license.
Bugle isn't secure (vulnerable to CSRF) and doesn't scale.
Fabric is required (or do the setup_dev stuff yourself):
$ pip install fabric
To set up a development environment:
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O `whoami` bugle
$ fab localhost setup_dev
$ cd bugle_project/
$ ./manage.py syncdb
$ ./manage.py migrate
If requirements.txt gets updated in the future, you may need to run:
$ fab localhost install_requirements
Before deploying for the first time, install Apache and mod-wsgi
(libapache2-mod-wsgi on Debian).
Create database bugle and an SSL certificate:
$ sudo -u postgres createuser -P -D -S -R bugle
[enter password for bugle user]
$ sudo -u postgres createdb -O bugle bugle
$ make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite
$ a2enmod ssl
Set up the deployment environment:
$ fab live setup
To deploy new versions:
$ fab live create_version deploy
