Configuration

To easily configure Tiki Manager, copy the .env.dist file to .env and insert your configurations for the uncommented (#) entries.

Version Control System

Tiki Manager by default uses Git and the main public repository at https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki. If you want to use SVN as your default vcs (but you shouldn't as SVN is deprecated) or another repository please add the following lines to your .env file.

DEFAULT_VCS=svn
GIT_TIKIWIKI_URI=<CUSTOM_GIT_REPOSITORY_URL>
SVN_TIKIWIKI_URI=<CUSTOM_SVN_REPOSITORY_URL>

Behind a Proxy or without internet connection

Tiki Manager is able to use Tiki's distributed version packages as an alternative when there is no connection to external servers like GitLab or SourceForge.

Setting the default VCS to src, Tiki Manager will use existing packages in the data/tiki_src folder (default).

DEFAULT_VCS=src

Download the distributed Tiki packages, from https://sourceforge.net/projects/tikiwiki/files/, and save them into data/tiki_src folder.

Email settings

To configure Tiki Manager email sender address add the following line to your .env file.

FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS=<SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS>

Configure SMTP Server

By default Tiki Manager uses sendmail to send email notifications. If you intend to use SMTP instead, add the following lines to your .env file.

SMTP_HOST=<SERVER_ADDRESS>
SMTP_PORT=<SERVER_PORT>
SMTP_USER=(optional if authentication is required)
SMTP_PASS=(optional if authentication is required)

Releases

Tiki-manager releases are available on Gitlab - Tiki-manager releases.

Those release are automatically build by the Gitlab CI/CD when a new version tag is added. Only project maintainers can add such tags.

You can access the latest release description by using this permalink: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki-manager/-/releases/permalink/latest

Using the PHP Archive tiki-manager.phar

You can download a PHP Archive file to use tiki-manager.phar as a single executable.

Those archive are available in following places:

• in the Gitlab Package Registry
• as assets on Gitlab releases

To get the latest released tiki-manager.phar you can use this permalink: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki-manager/-/releases/permalink/latest/downloads/tiki-manager.phar

Just download it in a working directory, and run it using php tiki-manager.phar, or make the file executable and run ./tiki-manager.php.

Prerequisite: you must have composer installed on your system. You can alternatively put the composer.phar executable in the same directory as tiki-manager.phar, or use the COMPOSER_PATH environment variable to specify the path to the composer executable.

You can customize the configuration by adding a .env file in the same directory as tiki-manager.phar.

Note: avoid putting the file in a directory where you have another Symfony project source files. It could interfere.

Here is an example on how you can initiate tiki-manager.phar:

mkdir working_dir
cd working_dir
wget https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki-manager/-/releases/permalink/latest/downloads/tiki-manager.phar
chmod u+x tiki-manager.phar
./tiki-manager.phar -n list
