WARNING!

v3 is not compatible with v2, you will have to export your notes in v2 and import them in v3. This happens because v3 is almost a re-write of v2.

Introduction

Wreeto is an open source note-taking, knowledge management and wiki system built on top of Ruby on Rails framework.

Initially this was built because I didn't like the note-taking apps out there and I wanted something simple, structured and straightforward, with no bells and whistles.

Current stable version: v2.6.8

Latest version: master or v3.0.1.beta

Copy the .env.development.local to .env:

cp .env.development.local .env 

and set up your variables:

OAUTH_GOOGLE_ID=
OAUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET=
POSTGRES_HOST=postgres
POSTGRES_USER=wreeto_admin
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=wreeto_password
POSTGRES_DB=wreeto_db
POSTGRES_PORT=5432

RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY=
REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PASSWORD=
SMTP_USERNAME=
SMTP_PASSWORD=
WREETO_HOST=localhost # your IP Address or domain 
WREETO_PORT=8383

4.2 Use docker

The easiest way to get started now is to use docker-compose and simply execute:

For running the latest version (might be unstable) use image: chrisvel/wreeto:master. Instead use the latest stable version as (example) image: chrisvel/wreeto:version-.

docker-compose up

If you decide to just copy the docker-compose.yml file in order to deploy it locally, you'll also need to create .env (instructions in 4.1) and docker-entrypoint.sh. Make sure to add execute permissions to it sudo chmod +x docker-entrypoint.sh.

In order to initialize the database and load the default account, you'll need to run:

docker-compose run app bundle exec rake db:drop db:migrate db:setup

4.3 Install locally

You will need to setup postgres, ruby, redis and their appropriate dependencies necessary by your O/S and environment.

As for every Rails project:

• bundle install
• bundle exec rake db:drop db:migrate db:setup
• bundle exec rails s

Do not forget to create the .env file.

5. Usage

5.1 Default account

The default credentials are: username admin and password password.

5.2 Create a new account (rails console)

You can create another account from the Rails console by running bundle exec rails console or docker-compose run app bundle exec rails console and then

account = Account.create!
User.create!({username: 'admin', email: 'user@email.com', password: 'password', confirmed_at: DateTime.now, account: account})

by changing the values as you wish, then exit.

5.3 Web UI

To access the web application with default settings (hostname/port) please go to

http://localhost:8383
