NBrut is the open-source blogging platform underlying Pony Foo.

NBrut is built entirely upon Node.JS, MongoDB, and a rich client-side application layer, so it's Javascript everywhere.

You can read all about how I work on NBrut directly on my blog, also feel free to fork this repository and fiddle with it. I'd also be delighted to hear from you, so feel free to contact me, as well.

To get up and running locally you will need to have installed Node.js and MongoDB.

• Configure MongoDB and then create a local database called nbrut. You might want to read this
• Configure www.local-sandbox.com as an alias of 127.0.0.1. On windows it's very easy to do so, adding a line to this file: %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

After following those steps, the application should be accessible at www.local-sandbox.com. Now you can follow the installation instructions on the setup guide, available once you access the website.

An extensive list of Environment Variables is available for you to look at, but you don't need to set any of that to get up and running.
