The best way to run ikiwiki in a [[Subversion]] post-commit hook is using
|
|
a wrapper, which can be generated using `ikiwiki --wrapper`.
|
|
|
|
First, set up the subversion checkout that ikiwiki will update and compile
|
|
into your wiki at each subversion commit. Run ikiwiki a few times by hand
|
|
to get a feel for it. Now, generate the wrapper by adding "--wrapper"
|
|
to whatever command line you've been using to run ikiwiki. For example:
|
|
|
|
~/wiki-checkout> ikiwiki . ~/public_html/wiki
|
|
~/wiki-checkout> ikiwiki . ~/public_html/wiki --wrapper
|
|
successfully generated ikiwiki-wrap
|
|
|
|
The generated wrapper is a C program that is designed to safely be made
|
|
suid if necessary. It's hardcoded to run ikiwiki with the settings
|
|
specified when you ran --wrapper, and can only be used to update and
|
|
compile that one checkout into the specified html directory.
|
|
|
|
Now, put the wrapper somewhere convenient, and create a post-commit hook
|
|
script in your subversion repository for the wiki. All the post-commit
|
|
hook has to do is run the wrapper (with no parameters).
|
|
|
|
Depending on your Subversion setup, the post-commit hook might end up
|
|
getting called by users who have write access to subversion, but not to
|
|
your wiki checkout and html directory. If so, you can safely make
|
|
ikiwiki-wrap suid to a user who can write there (*not* to root!). You might
|
|
want to read [[Security]] first.
