دیوان · Diwan site

Diwan is a standalone project built on a fork of GanjoorService (GPL-3.0), the software behind ganjoor.net, adapted to serve classical Urdu poetry and prose from diwan-data.

Changes from upstream

• Tajik removed: the TajikGanjoor site, Tajik API endpoints, services, export and transliteration are gone. Migration DiwanRemoveTajik drops their tables.

• Branding: "گنجور" becomes "دیوان" throughout the site. Upstream is credited in the footer.

• Urdu basics: pages are lang="ur". The home page, footer and century groups (Hijri centuries, e.g. "تیرہویں صدی ہجری") are in Urdu. Deeper pages, such as admin and account pages, are still Persian.

• Fonts: Noto Nastaliq Urdu by default, with a نستعلیق / نسخ switch (Noto Naskh Arabic) at the bottom left. The choice is remembered per browser.

• Footer: links to Ganjoor-only services (Hafez divination, music index, etc.) are removed. Links to the Wikisource source, the data and the code are added.

• Linux/Docker: Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml (SQL Server 2022, API, site, Caddy for HTTPS).

• Config fixes so env vars work: the four places that read appsettings.json directly now also read environment variables. The JWT issuer follows RSecurityBackend:ApplicationName instead of the hard-coded "Ganjoor". deploy/entrypoint.sh copies the settings that RSecurityBackend reads only from appsettings.json (connection string, secret, app name, admin email) into the file at container start.

• Links: ganjoor.net links to the site's own pages are now relative. Links to Ganjoor's other services (blog, audio, etc.) are left as they are.

• Locale: ur-PK.

Deploy (Ubuntu/Debian x86-64, e.g. Vultr)

# 1. Docker
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

# 2. Code + config
git clone https://github.com/anas-rashid/diwan.git && cd diwan
cp .env.example .env && nano .env      # domains, passwords, admin email

# 3. DNS: point SITE_DOMAIN and API_DOMAIN (A records) at the server, then:
docker compose up -d --build           # first build takes a few minutes
docker compose logs -f api             # wait for "Application started"

SQL Server needs about 2 GB of RAM. Use a plan with at least 4 GB in total.

Load the data

1. Open https://SITE_DOMAIN/login and sign in with ADMIN_EMAIL and the password Test!123. The first login creates the admin account with that fixed password (RSecurityBackend's default; upstream's guide is wrong about this). Change it right away in the user panel.
2. On the import page that opens (or Admin → مالی و سایت → درون‌ریزی دادهٔ عمومی), choose Internet URL and enter:

   https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/anas-rashid/diwan-data@main/
   

3. The import runs in the background (about 11k poems). Century groups are rebuilt automatically when it finishes.

Re-running the import adds new poems and leaves existing ones untouched, so it can be repeated after diwan-data's daily sync.

Update

git pull && docker compose up -d --build

Build locally (macOS/Linux)

cd RMuseum   # its global.json pins SDK 10.0.302; newer SDKs fail on some upstream Razor views
dotnet build RMuseum.csproj -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true
dotnet build ../GanjooRazor/GanjooRazor.csproj -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true

Running it needs SQL Server, so use the Docker setup above. SQL Server's image is x86-64 only.
