SpringBlog

SpringBlog is a very simple and clean-design blog system implemented with Spring Boot. I had put it on production for my personal bvn13's blog since 2017-11-03.

SpringBlog is powered by many powerful frameworks and third-party projects:

  • Spring Boot and many of Spring familiy (e.g. Spring MVC, Spring JPA, Spring Secruity and etc)
  • Hibernate + PostgreSQL
  • HikariCP - A solid high-performance JDBC connection pool
  • Bootstrap - A very popular and responsive front-end framework
  • Pegdown - A pure-java markdown processor (deprecated)
  • ACE Editor - A high performance code editor which I use to write posts and code.
  • Pygments - A python library for highlighting code syntax (deprecated)
  • Flexmark - Java implementation of CommonMark 0.28 spec parser using the blocks first, inlines after Markdown parsing architecture
  • Jade4j - Jade is an elegant template language.
  • Webjars - A client-side web libraries packaged into JAR files. A easy way to manage JavaScript and CSS vendors in Gradle.
  • Redis - A very powerful in-memory data cache server.
  • Prism - syntax highlighter
  • HighCharts - charts JS-library
  • TelegramBots - telegram bot API for sending announcements of posts into Telegram Channel
  • Date Range Picker - A JavaScript component for choosing date ranges. Designed to work with the Bootstrap CSS framework.

Development

Before development, please install the following service software:

Edit the spring config profile src/main/resources/application.yml according to your settings.

And start MySQL and Redis first before running the application.

# If you're using Ubuntu server

# Install MySQL
apt-get install mysql-server
service mysql start
mysql -u root -p
>> create database spring_blog;


# Install Python pygments
apt-get install python-pip
pip install pygments
# If you want to enable redis cache
# Install redis server first, you can find instructions
# from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-redis
service redis_6379 start

This is a Gradle project. Make sure Gradle is installed in your machine. Try gradle -v command. Otherwise install in from http://www.gradle.org/. I recommend you import the source code into Intellij IDE to edit the code.

# Start the web application
./gradlew bootRun

Development

How to import the project into Intellij IDEA and run from the IDE?

  1. Clone the project git clone https://github.com/Raysmond/SpringBlog.git
  2. Download all dependencies cd SpringBlog ./gradlew idea
  3. Open the project in Intellij IDEA.
  4. Run Application.java as Java application.
  5. Preview: http://localhost:8001 Admin: http://localhost:8001/admin , the default admin account is: admin@admin.com, password: admin

Lombok is required to run the project. You can install the plugin in Intellij IDEA. Reference: https://github.com/mplushnikov/lombok-intellij-plugin

Deployment

  • Build application jar ./gradlew build, then upload the distribution jar (e.g. build/libs/SpringBlog-0.1.jar) to your remote server.

  • Upload application-production.yml to your server and change it according to your server settings.

  • Run it (Java8 is a must)

    # assuming you have the jar and yml files under current dir
