README

下一代的社区系统，为未来而构建

💡 简介

Symphony（[ˈsɪmfəni]，n.交响乐）是一个现代化的社区平台，因为它：

实现了面向内容讨论的论坛
实现了面向知识问答的社区
包含了面向用户分享、交友、游戏的社交网络
100% 开源

欢迎到 Sym 官方讨论区了解更多。

⚡ 动机

很多社区论坛系统：

界面风格老式，没有跟上时代发展的步伐
缺少创新、好玩的特性，缺少现代化的交互元素和用户体验
缺乏考虑实际运营需求，管理功能过于单一
细节不够精致、缺乏长期维护

🛠️ 安装

先在 MySQL 中手动建库（库名 symphony，字符集使用 utf8mb4，排序规则 utf8mb4_general_ci），然后按照如下方式之一启动服务。

war 包启动

下载最新的 Sym 包解压，进入解压目录执行：

Windows: java -cp "WEB-INF/lib/*;WEB-INF/classes" org.b3log.symphony.Starter
Unix-like: java -cp "WEB-INF/lib/*:WEB-INF/classes" org.b3log.symphony.Starter

如果要将 war 包部署到 Servlet 容器中启动请参考安装指南。

Docker 部署

获取最新镜像：

docker pull b3log/symphony

启动容器：

docker run --detach --name sym --network=host \
    --env RUNTIME_DB="MYSQL" \
    --env JDBC_USERNAME="root" \
    --env JDBC_PASSWORD="123456" \
    --env JDBC_DRIVER="com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver" \
    --env JDBC_URL="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/symphony?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC" \
    b3log/symphony --listen_port=8080 --server_scheme=http --server_host=localhost

为了简单，使用了主机网络模式来连接主机上的 MySQL。

启动参数说明：

--listen_port：进程监听端口
--server_scheme：最终访问协议，如果反代服务启用了 HTTPS 这里也需要改为 https
--server_host：最终访问域名或公网 IP，不要带端口号

完整启动参数的说明可以使用 -h 来查看。
