The beginnings of a web app that can render the task lists generated by taligen.

NOTE: SO FAR THIS DOESN'T ACTUALLY WORK YET.

To build on Arch Linux

1. On your Arch Linux development machine, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/taligen/taliworkdown.git
cd taliworkdown

2. Build the package:

makepkg

To run on UBOS

UBOS: An Arch Linux-derived Linux distro that makes it particularly easy to install and maintain web applications, see http://ubos.net/

1. Setup a UBOS deployment device using any of the instructions here: http://ubos.net/docs/users/installation.html If you develop on Arch, the easiest is to run UBOS in a Linux container on the same machine.

2. Allow password-less, public-key-based SSH access from your development machine to the UBOS deployment device, e.g. by adding your SSH key on the development as a valid key to the UBOS deployment device's shepherd account. This may require, on the development machine:

ssh-keygen
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Then, on the UBOS deployment device:

ubos-admin setup-shepherd -a '<KEY>'

where <KEY> is replaced with the (long) line that was printed out as result of the previous command on the development machine.

3. Deploy the taliworkdown package to the UBOS deployment device:

ubos-push -h <DEPLOYMENTHOST> taliworkdown-*.pkg*

where <DEPLOYMENTHOST> is the hostname or IP address of your UBOS deployment device.

4. Setup a site that runs taliworkdown. Let's assume its hostname (you need to setup DNS for that) will be called taligen.example.com. Then, on the UBOS deployment device:

ubos-admin createsite

and answer the questions. The name of the app is taliworkdown, the hostname is taliworkdown.example.com.

5. Visit your deployed application. WIth a browser, to go http://taligen.example.com/ or whatever your hostname you chose.

Implementation details

The URL namespace is as follows:

• / => overview page
• /tl/<xxx> => Task List with ID <xxx>
• /wodo/<yyy> => Workdown with ID <yyy>

The files are stored in two directories:

• TALIDIR: contains the task lists, with extension .tl-json, such as solve-world-hunger.tl-json.

• WODODIR: workdowns created from a Task List are contained in a directory named according to the task list it was created from, and have extension .wodo-json. Example: solve-world-hunger/attempt-1-free-money.wodo-json.
