octomode
work-in-progress
Octomode is a collective editing space for PDF making, using Etherpad, Paged.js and Flask.
Inspired by the multi-centered, tentacular cognition capabilities of the octopus, we imagined a space in which the artificial boundaries of writing and design can be crossed; where writing, editing and designing can be done in one environment simultaneously, allowing the format to influence the matter and vice-versa.
More expanded documentation can be found here: https://cc.vvvvvvaria.org/wiki/Octomode
An installation guide can be found below.
Install octomode
You can clone this repository to run octomode on your own computer or server.
git clone https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/octomode.git
Install the dependencies.
All the python
dependencies are listed in requirements.txt
To install them, you can run:
make setup
This creates a virtual environment at .venv/
and installs all the dependencies here.
Next to this, you also need to install pandoc
.
sudo apt install pandoc
Now we need to configure octomode:
cd octomode
nano .env
Configure your environment, save the following configuration settings as to a file called .env
:
OCTOMODE_APPLICATION_ROOT=XXX
OCTOMODE_PORTNUMBER=XXX
OCTOMODE_PAD_URL=XXX
OCTOMODE_PAD_API_URL=XXX
OCTOMODE_PAD_API_KEY=XXX
- OCTOMODE_APPLICATION_ROOT: optional, default:
/
- OCTOMODE_PORTNUMBER: optional, default:
5001
- OCTOMODE_PAD_URL: optional, default:
https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/
- OCTOMODE_PAD_API_URL: optional, default:
https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/api/1.2.15/
- OCTOMODE_PAD_API_KEY: required, no default
(Note: You must provide a value for OCTOMODE_PAD_API_KEY
.)
make run
(runs the Flask application)
Open the application at port 5001
, for example: http://localhost:5001 or https://mydomainname.ext:5001.
Install octomode with an URL prefix
If you want to install octomode with an URL prefix, like https://mydomainname.ext/octomode/, then you can use the gunicorn WSGI.
If you have ran the make setup
command already, then gunicorn
is already installed.
Configure your application root URL in your .env
file.
You can simply run octomode now with the following command to run it with gunicorn
(and not the built-in Flask dev server):
make action
Dependencies
- pandoc
- python dependencies, see:
requirements.txt
Use octomode locally
It's recommended to use Firefox when working with octomode locally. Chrome or Chromium do not load external etherpads in iframes.
