 Aggregators
Self-Hosted server configured with a
variety of software parts, a database
and a file structure to add personal
custom data offerings to the network
for public sharing.
 How is the aggregator list handled?
Is there a main sync location to call or does the sync work around

Usage: Aggregator and Publisher an aggregator list?

How do networks become aware of networks?
How do publishers get publishing acceptance?
How do aggregators get added to the list of network aggregators?
Add to network: what does that mean?
- You have a personal server with an install of EncycloEngine, you store your preferred articles in .zwi format and you use the EncycloSearch to search the files
for content.
- There is no ‘global’ list of aggregators, the sync should update your aggregator list for all known aggregators? You control the list using a config file?
- There is no group or community, you basically have your own aggregator search engine and as you run across others you add them as you see fit but there is
no place to find or become part of a list of aggregators: like Fetaverse offers.

What are rules around passwords for submission (wordpress)?

- You use google search to locate aggregators and request from them access and a password?
- Each aggregator has a url here: encyclosphere/aggregators which lists the aggregators being sync to the one you are using
- Only WordPress has a per article submission page, the aggregators have .zwi file uploads.

How do you become someone who is allowed to publish articles into the aggregators?
What are the rules of article content being pushed to aggregators?
- Each aggregator controls their own rules, you must ask them.

What restrictions can an aggregator have and still be considered part of the
Encyclosphere network? Or is that really just the encyclosphere aggregators and it
might not be part of others?
- Encyclosphere is a controlled set of articles in encyclopedia format and must be approved by KSF for inclusions in protype aggregators: ES|ER,
just like other aggregators.
Document standards for information transfer between encyclopedias.

 Aggregators – windows install Steps once files are in place, you may need a project.zip file, see red:
This takes the linux installer and make a few adjustments to run on a windows system. 1) gradlew.bat run --args="setup“
Docs are here: https://encyclosearch.org/docs/#/
PREREQ: JAVA 17, commandline should recognize this command: java –version, if not follow this to add to your path variables
https://www.qualitestgroup.com/insights/technical-hub/how-to-add-java-to-your-system-path/
2) gradlew.bat run --args="pull
jdk-17_windows-x64_bin.msi will install java on windows – get the current release https://encyclosearch.org encyclosearch/db“
OR
gradlew.bat run --console=plain --args="pull
Go to the code repo and download the .zip of the
codebase found here, unzip to preferred location:
https://encyclosearch.org encyclosearch/db"
https://gitlab.com/ks_found/encycloengine Windows, you can run EncycloEngine commands like so:
windows use file extensions to know what engine to use for
execution - there is not equivalent to chmod +x in windows, gradlew.bat run --args="<arguments>"
For example:
gradlew.bat run --args="setup“
Issue with lines: 117-138 in build.gradlew,
Process will could run an hour as it syncs all the database files.
comment out, manually place project.zip file This creates an ‘encyclosearch’ folder in the main code:
Its all or nothing , there are no conditionals to the data download yet.
into this location: encycloengine-master/encyclosearch
-- to reset the setup, delete this folder and re-run
encycloengine-master\src\main\resources
-- WHERE TO GET .ZIP file??
3) gradlew.bat run --args="start"
Once started, you might get a popup window for firewall access, click
allow. The process starts a local webserver you can access at this address:
http://0.0.0.0:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080

4) Start your sync, every 5 minutes

gradlew.bat run --args="sync https://encyclosearch.org
encyclosearch/db"
Process will only run if command window remains open, webserver stops
You will need to restart it to use the search capabilities
Aggregators – troubleshooter

Issue with lines: 117-138 in build.gradlew,
comment out, manually place project.zip file
into this location:
encycloengine-master\src\main\resources
-- WHERE TO GET .ZIP file??

Shows folder was created, try moving forward

Indicates you need the project.zip file in the

correct location: C:\Users\swnin\Desktop\
InProgress_ideas\kfs\aggregator\
encycloengine-master\src\main\resources
Aggregators – webserver
The webserver that is relies on is a Jetty Server, the code base MUST have this server running to function. Once started, you might get a popup window for firewall access, click
If you would like it to run from a different webserver you must set up configuration as a reverse proxy allow. The process starts a local webserver you can access at this address:
http://0.0.0.0:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080

How to make it public

-reverse proxy is the only way
-is there an article edit feature I missed maybe?
