dotblog

.blog

Manage posts with files.

Designs are HTML/CSS/Javascript.

Content is updated every minute based on file system changes, without restarting the server.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/andrewhodel/dotblog
cd dotblog
cp -r default_html main
mkdir posts
cp config_sample.json config.json

1. Edit config.json

• set the paths to your TLS keys or place the key data in config.json
• set the fqdn (fully qualified domain name) of the server
• set the ipacModuleDirectory or the go-ip-ac Go Module must be in $HOME/go/src/github.com/andrewhodel/go-ip-ac

1. Install the required Go modules.

GO111MODULE=off go get -u github.com/andrewhodel/go-ip-ac

1. Run the server.

sudo allows iptables permission.

sudo GOPATH=/home/ec2-user/go GO111MODULE=off go run dotblog_server.go to run in the foreground.

sudo GOPATH=/home/ec2-user/go GO111MODULE=off go run dotblog_server.go > /dev/null 2>&1 & to run in the background.

Style

Edit the files in main/, it's HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Only index.html is required.

.blog File Format

These files are placed in posts/, read post_template.blog and copy it to a new file in posts/ to create a new post.

The file names create unique urls that will be indexed by search engines.

Self Signed Certificate

You can create self signed certificates.

mkdir keys
cd keys/
openssl req -new -subj "/C=US/ST=Utah/CN=localhost" -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

/path HTTP requests require a trailing / or <base> in the HTML

Included HTML content with relative paths after a subdirectory in main will not work without a trailing / or <base>.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/base

A slower method is a 3xx redirect to /path/index.html using the response headers to the /path request, it requires 2 requests.
