Sure! Here's a tutorial on how to install django-wiki on OpenBSD.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing django-wiki, you need to install some dependencies. Specifically, you need to ensure that you have Python 3, pip, Git, and PostgreSQL installed on your system.

To install these dependencies, open up the terminal and run the following commands:

$ doas pkg_add python3
$ doas pkg_add py3-pip
$ doas pkg_add git
$ doas pkg_add postgresql-server
$ doas rcctl enable postgresql
$ doas rcctl start postgresql

Step 2: Create and Activate a Virtual Environment

It is a good practice to create a virtual environment for django-wiki. This will help to isolate the dependencies and configurations specific to the project.

To create a virtual environment, run the following command:

$ python3 -m venv myenv

where myenv is the name of the virtual environment. Once the virtual environment is created, activate it using the following command:

$ source myenv/bin/activate

Step 3: Install django-wiki

With the virtual environment activated, you can now install django-wiki using pip. Run the following command:

$ pip install django-wiki

This will install the latest version of django-wiki along with its dependencies.

Step 4: Configure PostgreSQL

Next, you need to configure PostgreSQL to work with django-wiki. First, create a new user for the database:

$ sudo -u _postgresql createuser -P wikiuser

This will prompt you to enter a password for the user.

Next, create a new database and grant all permissions to the new user:

$ sudo -u _postgresql createdb -O wikiuser wikidb
$ sudo -u _postgresql psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE wikidb TO wikiuser;"

Step 5: Create a New Django Project

Next, create a new Django project using the following command:

$ django-admin startproject mywiki

where mywiki is the name of your project. This will create a new directory with the project files.

Step 6: Configure the Settings

Edit the project settings file mywiki/settings.py as follows:

import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
SECRET_KEY = 'your-secret-key'
DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = []
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'wiki',
]
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'wikidb',
        'USER': 'wikiuser',
        'PASSWORD': 'your-db-password',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'
TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

Replace your-secret-key with a secure secret key and your-db-password with the password you set for the PostgreSQL user in Step 4.

Step 7: Initial Migrations

Next, run the initial migrations to create the necessary database tables:

$ python manage.py migrate

Step 8: Create a Superuser Account

Create a superuser account to access the django-wiki admin interface:

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

This will prompt you to enter a username, email, and password for the admin account.

Step 9: Start the Development Server

With everything configured, you can start the development server using the following command:

$ python manage.py runserver

Navigate to http://localhost:8000/ in your web browser to access the django-wiki site.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed django-wiki on OpenBSD!
