# clog

An attempt to implement a blog in C, using the [kore.io](https://kore.io) framework.

## Running

```sh
make fetch-dependencies
docker compose up
```

## Notes

To run locally modify `conf/clog.conf`, comment out `root /var/chroot/` and uncomment
the `skip chroot` section:

```conf
privsep worker {
	runas clog

	# root /var/chroot/

	skip chroot
}
```

Maybe disable `seccomp_tracing` in `conf/clog.conf` if running into problems:

```conf
seccomp_tracing no
# seccomp_tracing yes
```

## Bootstrapping the database

Use `psql` and load `db/db.sql` for models,
`db/data.sql` for some example data.

## TODO

1. ~Only do HTTP stuff at the edge.~
2. ~`PUT`~/`PATCH`? entries.
3. pagination of index ?
4. ~HTML form for edits~
5. ~Make <h1> first class markdown citizen~
6. ~Remove JSON API?~
7. ~use sha256 hash to check kore blob~
8. Have `tests.py` load and drop database.
9. ~Refactor URLs and HTTP calls in tests `tests.py` to reduce copy-pasta~
10. Get rid of `requests` dependency in `tests.py`
11. Fix `PATCH` redirects?
12. [Full Text Search](https://dev.to/nightbird07/full-text-search-in-postgresql-a-comprehensive-guide-3kcn)
13. Add preview functionality to edit form
14. Add support for creating new entries

## But using C in 2024 is dangerous?
