Getting started with Issyours

Check demo website and demo tutorial for a quick look at Issyours.

Using Issyours requires some understanding of how Pelican works. Refer to Pelican documentation for introduction.

Here are the steps you should follow to build your own browsable issues archive.

Install Issyours

Issyours can be installed with pip. Authors recommend installing all Python packages in virtual environment.

Install Issyours along with default Pelican theme

$ pip install "https://github.com/sio/issyours/tarball/master[with-default-theme]"

Fetch issues data from the service provider

To fetch issues and pull requests from GitHub you need to obtain an oAuth token and save it to ISSYOURS_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable

$ export ISSYOURS_GITHUB_TOKEN=a88a5...

After that run provided backup utility

$ issyours-github "username/reponame" "/path/to/local-issue-backup"

Issues and pull requests will be backed up to JSON files in the specified directory. That may take a while if target repo has a lot of recorded issues and pull requests because of GitHub's API rate limit. Add -vvvv to command line to monitor the progress more closely.

Refer to Issyours documentation for more information on interacting with GitHub as data source.

Create Pelican project and enable Issyours plugin

Create new Pelican project (see documentation)

$ pelican-quickstart

Add minimal Issyours configuration to Pelican settings

# pelicanconf.py

# <..lines skipped..>

import issyours.pelican
PLUGINS = [issyours.pelican]

import alchemy
THEME = alchemy.path()
THEME_TEMPLATES_OVERRIDES = [issyours.templates.override('alchemy')]
THEME_CSS_OVERRIDES = ['theme/css/override.css']
TEMPLATE_PAGES = {'override.css.html': 'theme/css/override.css'}

from issyours_github import GitHubReader
ISSYOURS_SOURCES = {
    GitHubReader(repo='username/reponame', directory='/path/to/local-issue-backup'): {},
}

Read more about configuring Issyours and theming Issyours in documentation.

Render static web site

Run Pelican to generate the contents of your website

$ pelican . -o output -s pelicanconf.py

Check that everything works with a local development web server: http://localhost:8000/issues:

$ pelican --listen

Resulting HTML output is ready to be published with any web server.
