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?
Not exactly a blog, but I’m using Dokuwiki to maintain everything wiki and blog-like, be it in SDF or elsewhere. Doesn’t need a database, you can upload your content via whatever (SSH, RPC, git push, etc) and has various templates geared towards personal sites or information sites.
im a minimalist so i just made a gemini page. and i have a mastodon acct. tbf neither probably the right size for what you’re describing though
I made a php script to read markdown for mine

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
