transmet

Quick fast personal link store that exports to a HTML template for quick posting to a blog

Usecase: storing interesting news articles you come across during a week with at the moment notes/commentary and then exporting in a currated organized format for immediate blog posting at your convience

Note

As this is a personal project, some of the niceities like user managment are left to be done in SQL. I needed a tool to store links and export to html so that's what I've focused on.

Install

go get github.com/dballard/transmet

DB setup

sudo apt-get install postgres postgresql-contrib

Setup postgres to handle a local connection for transmet in pg_hba.conf either: host transmet transmet 127.0.0.1/32 md5 or a more liberal: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 and do the same for host all all ::1/128 md5 ipv6

create ssl certs and put them somewhere

enable SSL in postgresql.conf

ssl = true
ssl_cert_file = 'WHER_YOU_PUT/server.crt'
ssl_key_file = 'WHERE_YOU_PUT/server.key'   

Create postgress DB and user

sudo -u postgres --or-- sudo su - postgres
