What are people using to host blogs on SDF?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨kadin@lemmy.sdf.org⁩ to ⁨sdfpubnix@lemmy.sdf.org⁩

I just noticed (and made a post on BBOARD under REQUESTS) that Jekyll doesn’t seem to be available anymore. It seemed as of a few years ago that was the popular choice for hosting a blog on SDF.

But maybe there are better solutions these days?

I don’t want to do some sort of Wordpress or any sort of database-backed thing. I just want a lightweight, static generator of some sort, that can take Markdown and update a bunch of HTML files, maintaining the site structure, index files, etc. etc.

Back in the day I used Blosxom for this, but it got hard to keep running (at least for me, not being very into Perl), so I migrated everything over to Jekyll… but it’s never really been the lightweight, easy-to-use solution that I hoped it would be.

Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

I use hugo, it’s a fast lightweight static site generator written in go

I think that the blagh app for werc might also work, it’s written in rc shell

  In a previous life, I also used Hugo on SDF with great results. Since it’s a single binary, it’s easy enough to even manage yourself if you want to control the version in play.

Not exactly a blog, but I’m using Dokuwiki to maintain everything wiki and blog-like, be it in SDF or elsewhere. Doesn’t need a database, you can upload your content via whatever (SSH, RPC, git push, etc) and has various templates geared towards personal sites or information sites.

I decided to move to gemini on SDF. It us far easier to maintain and you can use any editor to add/change files.

  Thanks for the reminder about Gemini… I decided to try it out and have been enjoying the process so far. We’ll see how it goes!
