Make Primerpedia available on Wikimedia Toolforge #50

Closed waldyrious closed 5 years ago

waldyrious commented 6 years ago

It appears to be possible to host Toolforge apps directly from a github repo -- see for example the OABot project (repository / live site).

Having Primerpedia on the Toolforge would increase its visibility and integrate it better with the Wikimedia ecosystem. (Note: it would continue to be available via the Github Pages hosting service, at https://waldyrious.github.io/primerpedia and http://waldyrious.net/primerpedia.)

Quick note: Some of the repositories under @toollabs might provide a useful template to model our transition.

This is now done -- Primerpedia can be accessed from https://tools.wmflabs.org/primerpedia.

To do this, I first followed the steps outlined here, then I cloned the repository to the ~/public_html/ directory, and ran webservice start as explained here. Finally, I set up a system to auto-update the tool whenever there's a push to the github repo, as described here.
