You can check out the repository by visiting my website here: https://caspersorensen.com.
Clone the repo to your desired destination. Then run composer install to install the dependencies.
After doing this, you should install Laravel Wink by running php artisan wink:install.
Create your .env file from the .env.example and set the wink database connection WINK_DB_CONNECTION= to your desired value (I just use the default mysql connection), make sure to also
generate an app key with php artisan key:generate.
Create a database with the name you specified in your .env file, then run php artisan wink:migrate to migrate.
Use the provided credentials to log into wink (endpoint: /wink) - you can always create another user once you have successfully logged into Wink.
If you want to use images in your blog posts, make sure your image directory is setup correctly, run this command
php artisan storage:link to generate a symbolic link to your public folder.
The blog comes with Google Analytics that is ready to use out of the box. If you do not wish to use it, feel free to remove it from the app.blade.php layout template.
The styling of the blog is based on Tailwind CSS, with a small bit of CSS added inside the app.scss file. There is no Javascript used out of the box, but feel free to add enhancements if you feel like it.
Install the assets by running npm install and then run npm run dev or npm run watch when developing locally. For production
you should use npm run production to minify the assets and purge unused Tailwind classes.
