# Howto avoid heavy files in ikiwiki git repo
|
|
|
|
Continuation of discussion at [git-annex forum](http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/git-annex___38___ikiwiki_experiment/) turns out the git-annex tricks could be avoided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup on remote server
|
|
|
|
On the server activate album and underlay plugins in $wiki.setup file
|
|
|
|
add_plugins:
|
|
- album
|
|
- underlay
|
|
|
|
Configure underlay plugin
|
|
|
|
add_underlays:
|
|
- /home/$user/$wiki.underlay
|
|
|
|
Create underlay directory and init git annex in direct mode
|
|
|
|
mkdir ~/$wiki.underlay
|
|
cd ~/$wiki.underlay;git init;git annex init $srcunderlay; git annex direct
|
|
|
|
Build ikiwiki for good measure
|
|
ikiwiki --setup $wiki.setup --rebuild
|
|
|
|
## Setup on local laptop
|
|
|
|
Clone to laptop and initialise annex repo
|
|
|
|
git clone ssh://$server/$wiki.git ~/$wiki
|
|
git clone ssh://$server/$wiki.underlay ~/$wiki.underlay
|
|
cd $wiki.underday;git-annex init $wrkunderlay
|
|
git remote add $srcunderlay ssh://$server/$wiki.underlay
|
|
|
|
You now have an annex repo in the local $wiki.underlay called $wrkunderlay and one in the $wiki.underlay directory on the remote server called $srcunderlay.
|
|
|
|
## Add content locally
|
|
|
|
Add content to local $wiki directory in this case create $album.mdwn files for every album you have. Then `git add;git commit` files containing at the minimum the following
|
|
|
|
[[!album ]]
|
|
|
|
Create directories in the local $wiki.underlay corresponding to the album files in the local $wiki dir. Ie. create a directory named $album for every $album.mdwn file. Copy hi-res jpg files to each directory in the local $wiki.underlay and add + commit.
|
|
|
|
git annex add .
|
|
git commit -m 'jpgs added'
|
|
|
|
## Push to remote
|
|
|
|
cd $wrkunderlay; git-annex copy --to $srcunderlay .; git-annex sync
|
|
cd $wrkdir;git push
|
|
|
|
That's it! Ikiwiki should update the website and treat the jpg's as if they were part of the standard file structure.
|
|
|
|
How to accomplish this using the web interface is another questions. I guess the plugins have to setup and upload to underlaydir somehow.
|
|
|
|
My guess is that you have to git-annex copy the $wiki.underlay files to $srcunderlay **before** running git push from the local $wiki directory. Haven't tested this yet though.
