PostText/README.md

# Post::Text

A textboard written in Perl

## Installing locally

Install dependencies:

    cpanm --installdeps .

## Running locally

Create a config file:

    cp example_post_text.conf post_text.conf

This file right now just contains a Perl hash reference. Someday it
should be YAML or XML or something better suited.

Run it in development mode:

    morbo -w assets/css/ -w public/ -w lib/ -w templates/ \
        -w script/ script/post_text

Now try requesting http://localhost:3000

## Testing

First, create a valid first thread and first remark to the first
thread. The tests rely on the existence of thread #1 and remark #1
being the first remark to that first thread. Then you can run the
tests locally:

    prove -l

## Building/running container

### Build

    podman build -t post_text .

### Tag

    podman tag post_text git.n4vn33t.com/swag/post_text

### Push

    podman push git.n4vn33t.com/swag/post_text

### Pull

    podman pull git.n4vn33t.com/swag/post_text

### Run

    podman run -dt --rm --name post_text -p 3002:3000 post_text

### Generate unit file

    podman generate systemd --files --new --name post_text

## TODOs

1. "All new posts flagged" mode (require approval for new posts)
1. Tests for mod-only user?

## Crazy future ideas

### (Lord knows there's TODOs I could be working on...)

1. Is `remark_tally` counting hidden remarks? Tried to add a `WHERE
   NOT hidden_status` but that returns null, probably need a different
   `JOIN` which may not be worth the trouble/processing
1. Implement tripcodes (moving this down in priority due to complexity...)
1. Return a text response instead of HTML if a `.txt` extension [is
   requested](https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojolicious/Plugin/DefaultHelpers#respond_to)
   (JSON?)
1. Post thread via SMS (twil.io??)
