NAME

Galileo - A simple modern CMS built on Mojolicious

SYNOPSIS

 $ galileo setup
 $ galileo daemon

DESCRIPTION

Galileo is a Perl CMS with some modern features. It uses client-side markdown rendering and websockets for saving page data without reloading. Galileo relies on many other great open-source projects, see more in the "TECHNOLOGIES USED" section.

This release is very young, don't expect anything not to break, for now. Bug reports very welcome.

INSTALLATION

Galileo uses well-tested and widely-used CPAN modules, so installation should be as simple as

    $ cpanm Galileo

when using App::cpanminus. Of course you can use your favorite CPAN client or install manually by cloning the "SOURCE REPOSITORY".

SETUP

Galileo installs a helper script galileo. It inherits from the mojo command, but it provides extra functions specifically for use with Galileo.

config

 $ galileo config [options]

This command writes a configuration file in your current working directory. It uses the preset defaults for all values, except that it prompts for a secret. This can be any string, however stronger is better. You do not need to memorize it or remember it. This secret protects the cookies employed by Galileo from being tampered with on the client side.

Galileo does not need to be configured, however it is recommended to do so to set your application's secret.

The --force option may be passed to overwrite any configuration file in the current working directory. The default is to die if such a configuration file is found.

setup

 $ galileo setup

Run galileo setup to setup a database. This step is required. It will use the default DBI settings (SQLite) or whatever is setup in the configuration file generated by the config command.

RUNNING THE APPLICATION

 $ galileo daemon

After the database is has been setup, you can run galileo daemon to start the server.

You may also use morbo (Mojolicious' development server) or hypnotoad (Mojolicious' production server). You may even use any other server that Mojolicious supports, however for full functionality it must support websockets. When doing so you will need to know the full path to the galileo application. A useful recipe might be

 $ hypnotoad `which galileo`

or replace hypnotoad with your server of choice.

Configuration

Galileo will look for a configuration file named galileo.conf in the current working directory. To change this behavior set the environment variable GALILEO_CONFIG to the full path to your configuration file. Note that the `galileo config` action will respect this variable and will write a configuration file to that full file path if detected.
