CRUDi

CRUDi is an attempt to make a DB based Wiki.

The idea is that a database can express the differences necessary in a web content system; for example, different tables might represent different types of content, one table for blog posts, another for project management tickets. The creation of such content requires different entry forms, so different display and handling.

Tieing all this together is CRUDi's job.

Git repositories

Wiki, issues (or tickets, or whatever you want to call them) and source code are the 3 things that CRUDi will handle.

If it's going to be database based how will Git repos be handled?

The answer is that we'll store git repos in PostgreSQL too. We'll do this through the magic of Linux's FUSE library system.

Wiki format

The wiki format is JSON. Documents look like this:

[{"h1": {"this is a title"},
 {"p": {"this is a paragraph"}]

in other words it's just HTML written as JSON objects in an array.

I'll add more examples here as we code for them.

Installation

We will just make linux executables and also dockers, so you should be able to run it that way.

CRUDi requires PostgreSQL 9.6.

Usage

I expect there will be web based admin.

Development

Hack on it with crystal-lang.

crystal build src/crudi.cr
