description: Gollum - A recipe for your own git-based wiki. My preciousssss

# Gollum
|
|
|
|
Gollum is a simple wiki system built on top of Git. A Gollum Wiki is simply a git repository (_either bare or regular_) of a specific nature:
|
|
|
|
* A Gollum repository's contents are human-editable, unless the repository is bare.
|
|
* Pages are unique text files which may be organized into directories any way you choose.
|
|
* Other content can also be included, for example images, PDFs and headers/footers for your pages.
|
|
|
|
Gollum pages:
|
|
|
|
* May be written in a variety of markups.
|
|
* Can be edited with your favourite system editor or IDE (_changes will be visible after committing_) or with the built-in web interface.
|
|
* Can be displayed in all versions (_commits_).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you'll note in the (_real world_) screenshot above, my requirements for a personal wiki are:
|
|
|
|
* Portable across my devices
|
|
* Supports images
|
|
* Full-text search
|
|
* Supports inter-note links
|
|
* Revision control
|
|
|
|
Gollum meets all these requirements, and as an added bonus, is extremely fast and lightweight.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Since Gollum itself offers no user authentication, this design secures gollum behind an [oauth2 proxy](/reference/oauth_proxy/), so that in order to gain access to the Gollum UI at all, oauth2 authentication (_to GitHub, GitLab, Google, etc_) must have already occurred.

## Preparation
|
|
|
|
### Setup data locations
|
|
|
|
We'll need an empty git repository in /var/data/gollum for our data:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir /var/data/gollum
|
|
cd /var/data/gollum
|
|
git init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Prepare environment
|
|
|
|
1. Choose an oauth provider, and obtain a client ID and secret
|
|
2. Create gollum.env, and populate with the following variables (_you can make the cookie secret whatever you like_)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID=
|
|
OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_SECRET=
|
|
OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_SECRET=
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setup Docker Swarm
|
|
|
|
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
|
|
|
|
--8<-- "premix-cta.md"
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: '3'
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
app:
|
|
image: dakue/gollum
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- /var/data/gollum:/gollum
|
|
networks:
|
|
- internal
|
|
command: |
|
|
--allow-uploads
|
|
--emoji
|
|
--user-icons gravatar
|
|
|
|
proxy:
|
|
image: a5huynh/oauth2_proxy
|
|
env_file : /var/data/config/gollum/gollum.env
|
|
networks:
|
|
- internal
|
|
- traefik_public
|
|
deploy:
|
|
labels:
|
|
- traefik.frontend.rule=Host:gollum.example.com
|
|
- traefik.docker.network=traefik_public
|
|
- traefik.port=4180
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- /var/data/config/gollum/authenticated-emails.txt:/authenticated-emails.txt
|
|
command: |
|
|
-cookie-secure=false
|
|
-upstream=http://app:4567
|
|
-redirect-url=https://gollum.example.com
|
|
-http-address=http://0.0.0.0:4180
|
|
-email-domain=example.com
|
|
-provider=github
|
|
-authenticated-emails-file=/authenticated-emails.txt
|
|
|
|
networks:
|
|
traefik_public:
|
|
external: true
|
|
internal:
|
|
driver: overlay
|
|
ipam:
|
|
config:
|
|
- subnet: 172.16.9.0/24
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
--8<-- "reference-networks.md"
|
|
|
|
## Serving
|
|
|
|
### Launch Gollum stack
|
|
|
|
Launch the Gollum stack by running ```docker stack deploy gollum -c <path-to-docker-compose.yml>```
|
|
|
|
Authenticate against your OAuth provider, and then start editing your wiki!
|
|
|
|
[^1]: In the current implementation, Gollum is a "single user" tool only. The contents of the wiki are saved as markdown files under /var/data/gollum, and all the git commits are currently "Anonymous"
