The minimalistic yet logically blog built with Werkzeug
Minimalistic is nice but sometimes it gets too minimalistic, ya dig? For instance, Markdown is a cool idea for blogs, but the problem is if you just store it as a static files then how do you do efficient querying of documents? It should make more sense to just use a caching layer on top of a SQL database using something like SQLAlchemy.
Usage
To use this to set-up a blog, please ensure you have the following things first:
- WSGI-compatible webserver. Something such as uWSGI, gunicorn; things capable of running a WSGI app.
- A database set-up and an appropriate driver downloaded. remns uses SQLAlchemy so anything popular should work.
- Set up a virtual env to isolate the above dependencies.
pip install remns
Creating your first blog
* Go into a directory such as /srv/http, or /var/www
* After installing please run `remns [blogname]` to create a new directory to host your blog.
* Run `pip install [driver] && pip install [server]` to install a SQL driver and WSGI app server.
* Edit your config.yaml to update your author information and database connection info.
* The WSGI app is available as main:app from your blog directory.
Development
