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.
