How to contribute

Test it locally

Using Docker

• Clone the repository
• Ensure your Docker daemon is running
• Copy docker/php/env.example to docker/php/env and customize
• Launch docker compose run --rm php composer install to bootstrap php dependencies
• Launch docker compose run --rm php bin/console wallabag:install to bootstrap your installation
• Launch docker compose run --rm php yarn install to bootstrap dependencies for the frontend
• Launch docker compose run --rm php yarn build:dev to build assets for the frontend
• Launch docker compose up -d to start the stack

You'll then have:

• a PHP daemon with standalone web server
• a Redis database (to handle imports)
• a SQLite database to store articles

You can now access your wallabag instance using that url: http://127.0.0.1:8000

If you want to test using an other database than SQLite, uncomment the postgres or mariadb code from the compose.yaml file at the root of the repo. Also uncomment related line in the php section so the database will be linked to your PHP instance.

Using your own PHP server

• Ensure you are running PHP >= 8.2.
• Clone the repository
• Launch composer install
• If you got some errors, fix them (they might be related to some missing PHP extension from your machine)
• Then php bin/console wallabag:install
• If you got some errors, fix them (they might be related to some missing PHP extension from your machine)
• Run php bin/console server:run

You can now access your wallabag instance using that url: http://127.0.0.1:8000

You found a bug

Please open a new issue.

To fix the bug quickly, we need some infos: please answer to the questions in the issue form.

If you have the skills, look for errors into PHP, server and application logs (see var/logs).

Note : If you have large portions of text, use Github's Gist service or other pastebin-like.
