Ground Control
Ground control is an experimental blogging platform, built in Meteor. See an example of it in action at http://groundcontrol.meteor.com.
Install
Ground Control is a vanilla meteor app. To install it, simply download meteor, then download Ground Control.
Customization
Customization is fairly limited at this point. Edit lib/configuration.js
and server/configuration.js
and set the configuration variables there.
Running
Simply run meteor
.
Creating the initial user
When you first browse to your Ground Control install, you'll be prompted to configure the google oauth provider, and sign in with a google account, or use an email address / password account.
Creating Posts
Later, you (or others) can login to Ground Control at /admin
. Admin account signup is limited to two options:
- email address matching a domain set via the admin control panel.
- email addresses invited via the admin control panel.
Further customization
To do any meaningful customization, fork this repository and have fun! For example, take a look at the percolate
branch for an example of the changes made for the Percolate Studio Blog.
Pull Requests will be appreciated!
Coming soon
Ground Control is always a work in progress. Expect to see things like:
- Real time viewing stats
- Theming / pages support
- Commenting support
Feel free to make any contributions that you like!
