This is a complete Knowledge Base software built on top of the Symfony2 CMF project, developed and open sourced by ServerGrove. Our website http://kb.servergrove.com is running on this KnowledgeBase software.
- Data is stored in a PHPCR complaint server like Jackrabbit. Other implementations will be available.
- Complete Administration UI
- Multiple Users, with admin and editor privileges
- Multiple categories
- Categories and Articles can be localized in multiple languages
- Articles content can be written in HTML or Markdown
- Easy to skin, based on Bootstrap
- Search
- Live preview on article editing page
The installation is quite simple, follow these steps:
# Clone git repository
git clone [email protected]:servergrove/KnowledgeBase.git kb.local
cd kb.local
# Install vendor dependencies with Composer
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install
# start jackrabbit server
php app/console doctrine:phpcr:jackrabbit start
# wait a few seconds for the server to initialize and be ready
# setup PHPCR database
php app/console doctrine:phpcr:workspace:create sgkb
php app/console doctrine:phpcr:register-system-node-types
php app/console doctrine:phpcr:fixtures:load
# In production, you will need to dump the asset files
php app/console assetic:dump --env=prod --no-debug
# start web server (PHP 5.4 only)
php app/console server:run
Once you completed these steps, if you are not using PHP 5.4, setup your web server virtual host to point to kb.local/web.
Access the KB site with either http://localhost:8000 or http://kb.local/
The system includes an administration UI to manage categories and articles. To access it go to http://localhost:8000/admin or http://kb.local/admin
