| 26 | Static Sites With Bash | ||
| 27 | </span> | ||
| 28 | <div class="post-text"> | ||
| 29 | <p>After going through a bunch of static site generators | ||
| 30 | (<a href="https://blog.getpelican.com/">pelican</a>, | ||
| 31 | <a href="https://gohugo.io">hugo</a>, | ||
| 32 | <a href="https://github.com/icyphox/vite">vite</a>), I decided to roll | ||
| 33 | my own. If you are more of the ‘show me the code’ kinda guy, | ||
| 34 | <a href="https://github.com/nerdypepper/site">here</a> you go.</p> | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | <p><strong>Text formatting</strong>: I chose to write in markdown, and convert | ||
| 37 | to html with <a href="https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/">lowdown</a>.</p> | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | <p><strong>Directory structure</strong>: I host my site on GitHub pages, so | ||
| 40 | <code>docs/</code> has to be the entry point. Markdown formatted posts | ||
| 41 | go into <code>posts/</code>, get converted into html, and end up in | ||
| 42 | <code>docs/index.html</code>, something like this:</p> | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | <pre><code>posts=$(ls -t ./posts) # chronological order! | ||
| 45 | for f in $posts; do | ||
| 46 | file="./posts/"$f # `ls` mangled our file paths | ||
| 47 | echo "generating post $file" | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | html=$(lowdown "$file") | ||
| 50 | echo -e "html" >> docs/index.html | ||
| 51 | done | ||
| 52 | </code></pre> | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | <p><strong>Assets</strong>: Most static site generators recommend dropping image | ||
| 55 | assets into the site source itself. That does have it’s | ||
| 56 | merits, but I prefer hosting images separately:</p> | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | <pre><code># strip file extension | ||
| 59 | ext="${1##*.}" | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | # generate a random file name | ||
| 62 | id=$( cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 2 | head -n 1 ) | ||
| 63 | id="$id.$ext" | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | # copy to my file host | ||
| 66 | scp -P 443 "$1" emerald:files/"$id" | ||
| 67 | echo "https://files.nerdypepper.tech/$id" | ||
| 68 | </code></pre> | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | <p><strong>Templating</strong>: | ||
| 71 | <a href="https://github.com/NerdyPepper/site/blob/master/generate.sh"><code>generate.sh</code></a> | ||
| 72 | brings the above bits and pieces together (with some extra | ||
| 73 | cruft to avoid javascript). It uses <code>sed</code> to produce nice | ||
| 74 | titles from the file names (removes underscores, | ||
| 75 | title-case), and <code>date(1)</code> to add the date to each post | ||
| 76 | listing!</p> | ||
