nodiscc 91a21c2729 **General rewording, proof-reading, deduplication, shortening, reordering, simplification, cleanup/formatting/standardization**
- standardize page names, rework documentation structure, update TOC
- use same example paths everywhere
- level 1 titles on all pages
- fix broken links
- .md suffix on all page links (works both from readthedocs and github repository views)

**Server:**

A full and concise installation guide with examples is a frequent request. The documentation should provide such a guide for basic installation needs, while explaining alternative/advanced configuration at the end. Links to reference guides and documentation should be used more frequently to avoid recommending an outdated or excessively complex configuration.

- server: move most server-related info to server-configuration.md, cleanup/shorten
- server: update list of php dependencies/libraries, link to composer.json
- server: installation: support 3 install methods (from release zip, from sources, using docker)
- server: installation: use rsync instead of mv as mv results will change depending of taget directory already existing or not
- server: add example/basic usage of certbot
- server, upgrade, installation: update file permissions setup, use sudo for upgrade operations in webserver document root
- server: apache: add comments to configuration, fix and factorize file permissions setup, set cache-control header, deny access to dotfiles, add missing apache config steps, add http->https redirect example
- server: nginx: refactor nginx configuration, add comments, DO log access to denied/protected files
- server: add links to MDN for x-forwarded-* http headers explanation, cleanup/clarify robots.txt and crawlers section
- server: bump file upload size limit to 100MB we have reports of bookmark exports weighing +40MB - i have a 13MB one here
- server: simplify phpinfo documentation
- server: move backup and restore information to dedicated page
- docker: move all docker docs to Docker.md, simplify/ docker setup, add docker-compose.yml example, replace docker-101 with docker cheatsheet
- troubleshooting: move all troubleshooting documentation to troubleshooting.md

**Usage:**

- index: add getting started section on index page
- features/usage: move all usage-related documentation to usage.md, add links from the main feature list to corresponding usage docs, clarify/reword features list
- shaarli configuration: add note about configuring from web interface

**Removed:**

Installation

Once your server is configured, install Shaarli:

From release ZIP

To install Shaarli, simply place the files from the latest release .zip archive under your webserver's document root (directly at the document root, or in a subdirectory). Download the shaarli-vX.X.X-full archive to include dependencies.

wget https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases/download/v0.10.4/shaarli-v0.10.4-full.zip
unzip shaarli-v0.10.4-full.zip
sudo rsync -avP Shaarli/ /var/www/shaarli.mydomain.org/

From sources

These components are required to build Shaarli:

Clone the repository, either pointing to:

  • any tagged release
  • latest: the latest tagged release
  • master: development branch
# clone the branch/tag of your choice
$ git clone -b latest https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli.git /home/me/Shaarli
# OR download/extract the tar.gz/zip: wget https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/archive/latest.tar.gz...

# enter the directory
$ cd /home/me/Shaarli
# install 3rd-party PHP dependencies
$ composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist
# build frontend static assets
$ make build_frontend
# build translations
$ make translate
# build HTML documentation
$ make htmldoc
# copy the resulting shaarli directory under your webserver's document root
$ rsync -avP /home/me/Shaarli/ /var/www/shaarli.mydomain.org/

Set file permissions

Regardless of the installation method, appropriate file permissions must be set:

# by default, deny access to everything to the web server
sudo chown -R root:www-data /var/www/shaarli.mydomain.org
sudo chmod -R u=rwX /var/www/shaarli.mydomain.org
# allow read-only access to these files/directories
sudo chmod -R g+rX /var/www/shaarli.mydomain.org/{index.php,application/,plugins/,inc/}
# allow read/write access to these directories
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /var/www/shaarli.mydomain.org/{cache/,data/,pagecache/,tmp/}
