**[Try Yourself!](http://posativ.org/isso/)**
Isso is not stable (pretty far from that state) and the database format may
change without any backwards compatibility. Just saying.

- Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.3
- easy_install or pip
- a working C compiler
Install Isso (and its dependencies) with:
Install Isso with:
~> pip install isso
Before you start, you may want to import comments from
[Disqus.com](https://disqus.com/):
Set your database location and website:
~> isso import ~/Downloads/user-2013-09-02T11_39_22.971478-all.xml
~> cat my.cfg
[general]
dbpath = /var/lib/isso/comments.db
host = http://example.tld/
You can optionally import your comments from [Disqus.com](https://disqus.com/):
~> isso -c my.cfg import ~/Downloads/user-2013-09-02T11_39_22.971478-all.xml

If that is working, you may want to [edit the configuration](https://github.com/posativ/isso/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.rst).
Webserver Configuration
-----------------------
This part is not fun, I know. I have prepared two possible setups for nginx,
using Isso on the same domain as the blog, and on a different domain. Each
setup has its own benefits.
### Isso on a Sub URI
Let's assume you want Isso on `/isso`, use the following nginx snippet:
```nginx
server {
listen [::]:80;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name example.tld;
root /var/www/example.tld;
location /isso {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Script-Name /isso;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}
}
```
```html
<script src="http://example.tld/isso/js/embed.min.js"></script>
<div id="isso-thread"></div>
```
### Isso on a Dedicated Domain
Now, assuming you have your isso instance running on a different URL, such as
`http://example.tld:8080`, but your blog runs on `http://example.tld`:
~> cat example.cfg
[general]
host = http://example.tld/
~> isso -c example.cfg run
~> isso -c my.cfg run
2013-10-30 09:32:48,369 WARNING: unable to connect to SMTP server
2013-10-30 09:32:48,408 WARNING: connected to HTTP server
2013-10-30 09:32:48,409 INFO: * Running on http://localhost:8080/
Make sure, Isso can connect to server that hosts your blog, otherwise you are
not able to post comments.
Integrate Isso with:
```html
<script src="http://example.tld:8080/js/embed.min.js"></script>
<div id="isso-thread"></div>
```
Also, put the plain isso server behind a real web server or [use uWSGI][3].

Make sure, Isso can connect to the server that hosts your blog, otherwise you
are not able to post comments.
Website Integration
-------------------
To enable comments, add a `<div id="isso-thread"></div>` or `<section id="isso-thread" ...`
below your post.
You can run Isso on a dedicated domain or behind a sub URI like `/isso`. It
makes actually no difference except for the webserver configuration (see
below).
To add comment count links to your index page, include `count.min.js` at the
very bottom of your document. All links followed by `#isso-thread`, are
updated with the current comment count.
Whatever method you prefer (just change the URL), you add comments to your
site, add:
```html
<head>
...
<script src="http://example.tld/js/embed.min.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<div id="isso-thread"></div>
...
</body>
```
The JavaScript client will automatically detect the API endpoint.
To show the comment count for a post, add `#isso-thread` to the link:
```html
<head>
...
<script src="http://example.tld/js/count.min.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<a href="/path/to/post#isso-thread">Comments</a>
...
</body>
```
This functionality is already included when you embed `embed.min.js`, do
*not* mix `embed.min.js` and `count.min.js` in a single document.
### Webserver configuration
* nginx configuration to run Isso on `/isso`:
```nginx
server {
listen [::]:80;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name example.tld;
root /var/www/example.tld;
location /isso {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Script-Name /isso;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}
}
```
* nginx configuration to run Isso on a dedicated domain:
```nginx
server {
listen [::]:8080;
server_name comments.example.tld;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
}
}
```
