moved roller to log4j2. new setup: - commons-logging impl is replaced by jcl-over-slf4j impl, interfaces remain - java.util.logging is redirected to slf4j (used by WebJars dep, possibly others) - eclipselink is configured to use its own slf4j logger - log4j-slf4j-impl (which is log4j2) is used as actual logging impl changes: - loggers can no longer be configured using roller.properties or roller-custom.properties. - configuration is now in log4j2.xml. - a custom config file can be set using the standard log4j.configurationFile system property. (can be for example in roller-custom.properties or set as JVM -D property)
Apache Roller is a Java-based, full-featured, multi-user and group-blog server suitable for blog sites large and small. Roller is typically run with Apache Tomcat and MySQL. Roller is made up of the following Maven projects:
The Roller Install, User and Template Guides are available in ODT format (for OpenOffice or LibraOffice):
Hit the Roller Confluence wiki:
If you want to run Roller in production, then you should down load the latest official release and install it by following the Installation Guide, which you can find at the documentation link: https://github.com/apache/roller/tree/master/docs.
You probably should not run Roller in production using this technique, but it‘s a relatively easy way to try Roller for yourself. Assuming you’ve got a UNIX shell, Java, Maven and Git:
Get the code:
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/roller.git
Compile and build Roller:
$ cd roller $ mvn -DskipTests=true install
Run Roller in Jetty with Derby database:
$ cd app $ mvn jetty:run
Once Jetty is up and running browse to http://localhost:8080/roller to try to Roller.
Another way to try Roller is to use Docker. This is actually easier than running via Maven because you do not need Maven or Java. If you‘ve got Docker, here’s how you can run Roller for demo purposes.
Get the code:
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/roller.git
Run Docker Compose to build and launch Roller along with a PostgreSQL database:
$ cd roller $ docker-compose up
It will take a while to build and start the Docker image. Once it's done browse to http://localhost:8080/roller to try Roller.
