# Editing the wiki

How do you edit a Phoebe wiki? You need to use a Titan-enabled client.

Titan is a companion protocol to Gemini: it allows clients to upload files to
Gemini sites, if servers allow this. On Phoebe, you can edit "raw" pages. That
is, at the bottom of a page you'll see a link to the "raw" page. If you follow
it, you'll see the page content as plain text. You can submit a changed version
of this text to the same URL using Titan. There is more information for
developers available on Community Wiki. [https://communitywiki.org/wiki/Titan](https://communitywiki.org/wiki/Titan)

Known clients:

This repository comes with a Perl script called `titan` to upload files.

_Gemini Write_ is an extension for the Emacs Gopher and Gemini client
_Elpher_. [https://alexschroeder.ch/cgit/gemini-write/](https://alexschroeder.ch/cgit/gemini-write/)
[https://thelambdalab.xyz/elpher/](https://thelambdalab.xyz/elpher/)

Gemini & Titan for Bash are two shell functions that allow you to download and
upload files. [https://alexschroeder.ch/cgit/gemini-titan/about/](https://alexschroeder.ch/cgit/gemini-titan/about/)

## Editing via the web

The Configuration section of the Phoebe space on _The Transjovian Council_ has
an example config on how to enable editing via the web.

# Installation

Using `cpan`:

    cpan App::phoebe

Manual install:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make install

## Dependencies

If you are not using `cpan` or `cpanm` to install Phoebe, you'll need to
install the following dependencies:

- [Algorithm::Diff](https://metacpan.org/pod/Algorithm%3A%3ADiff), or `libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl`
- [File::ReadBackwards](https://metacpan.org/pod/File%3A%3AReadBackwards), or `libfile-readbackwards-perl`
- [File::Slurper](https://metacpan.org/pod/File%3A%3ASlurper), or `libfile-slurper-perl`
- [Mojolicious](https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious), or `libmojolicious-perl`
- [IO::Socket::SSL](https://metacpan.org/pod/IO%3A%3ASocket%3A%3ASSL), or `libio-socket-ssl-perl`
- [Modern::Perl](https://metacpan.org/pod/Modern%3A%3APerl), or `libmodern-perl-perl`
- [URI::Escape](https://metacpan.org/pod/URI%3A%3AEscape), or `liburi-escape-xs-perl`
- [Net::IDN::Encode](https://metacpan.org/pod/Net%3A%3AIDN%3A%3AEncode), or `libnet-idn-encode-perl`
- [Encode::Locale](https://metacpan.org/pod/Encode%3A%3ALocale), or `libencode-locale-perl`

I'm going to be using `curl` and `openssl` in the ["Quickstart"](#quickstart) instructions,
so you'll need those tools as well. And finally, when people download their
data, the code calls `tar` (available from packages with the same name on
Debian derived systems).

The `update-readme.pl` script I use to generate `README.md` also requires some
libraries:

- [Pod::Markdown](https://metacpan.org/pod/Pod%3A%3AMarkdown), or `libpod-markdown-perl`
- [Text::Slugify](https://metacpan.org/pod/Text%3A%3ASlugify), which has no Debian package, apparently 😭

## Quickstart

I'm going to assume that you're going to create a new user just to be safe.

    sudo adduser --disabled-login --disabled-password phoebe
    sudo su phoebe --shell=/bin/bash
    cd

Now you're in your home directory, `/home/phoebe`. We're going to install
things right here.

    cpan App::phoebe

Start Phoebe. It's going to prompt you for a hostname and create certificates
for you. If in doubt, answer `localhost`. The certificate and a private key are
stored in the `cert.pem` and `key.pem` files, using elliptic curves, valid for
five years, without password protection.

    perl5/bin/phoebe

This starts the server in the foreground. If it aborts, see the
["Troubleshooting"](#troubleshooting) section below. If it runs, open a second terminal and test
it:

    perl5/bin/gemini gemini://localhost/

You should see a Gemini page starting with the following:

    20 text/gemini; charset=UTF-8
    Welcome to Phoebe!

Success!! 😀 🚀🚀

Let's create a new page using the Titan protocol, from the command line:

    echo "Welcome to the wiki!" > test.txt
    echo "Please be kind." >> test.txt
    perl5/bin/titan --url=titan://localhost/raw/Welcome --token=hello test.txt

You should get a nice redirect message, with an appropriate date.

    30 gemini://localhost:1965/page/Welcome

You can check the page, now (replacing the appropriate date):
