# clog

Blog hacked in C using
[kore.io](https://kore.io),
[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org),
[Markdown](https://github.com/mity/md4c),
& [Mermaid](https://mermaid.js.org).

## Running

```sh
docker compose up
```

## Build and run locally

Install kore & then:

```sh
make
```

Make sure a database is up & then

```sh
./run-local.sh
```

## 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. Pagination.
2. Delete entries.
3. Fix `tests.py` to work after refactor.
4. Have `tests.py` load and drop database.
5. Get rid of `requests` dependency in `tests.py`.
6. Fix query parsing for search.
7. Add preview functionality to edit form.

## Using C in 2024 is dangerous?

I guess it depends:
