Static blog app.

Install brog.

go get github.com/aybabtme/brog

Use brog.

cd your/blog/path
# Creates brog files, required to run the brog
brog init
# Creates a new brog post named my_post.md
brog create my post
# Starts serving the brog at current location.
brog server

Look at the brog_config.json file, it should be pretty clear.

By default, brog will regenerate any harm caused to its vital structure. That is, when brog server runs, it watches its templates and reload them at every change.

• If a vital template has been deleted or renamed, brog will regenerate the template at its original location.
• If a vital template has been modified and brog find that it is corrupted (fails to parse), brog will repeal the threat and rewrite the file with its default version.

You can change this setting in brog_config.json.

You need to have GOPATH properly setup. Additionally, you need to have $GOPATH/bin in your PATH, because some tools in the build scripts rely on the use of go tools.

To install brog on your system:

make install

To build brog for the first time (not required if you make install):

make configure
make

To do a normal build:

make

To remove artifacts resulting in a build/run at the root folder of brog:

make clean

Brog is not too picky about how it is deployed, yet some users have found the following to be helpful.

• Create a system user and group for Brog (brog:brog)
• Install Brog in a standalone location. There is no hard requirement on that, but make sure the location is possessed by the user running Brog
• If using nginx as a reverse proxy to the Brog socket, make sure nginx can access the socket
• Init your Brog and then test it manually
• Deploy the init script, configure it and make sure it works
• Start the service and let it run. You now have a working brog!
