Installation

Docker

TODO

Classic way

• Requires php (8 or higher) and php-xml extension.
• Place all the files in a directory on your server.
• Run composer install.
• Configure your web server to serve /public/ directory.
• Use cron job */5 * * * * php -f /var/www/ThisApp/bin/cron.php that's check for new content or update feed all 5 mins.
• That's all.

Usage

All files are store in /datas/ folder. You are two distinct folder :

• /pages/ for page
• /posts/ for post

Thanks captain obvious.

You can edit directly file via SSH and a CLI editor like VIM or Nano. Alternatively, you can edit file locally and upload with FTP to your web server.

Pages folder is not hierarchical just create file in /page/My page.md.

Posts folder use chronological ordering like /posts/YYYY/MM/DD - Post title.md.

If you want, is totaly optional, in your post you can add lead.

Example :

---

My super lead text !

---

Rest of your post.

Options / configs

You can create /datas/config.json for define your option.

{
    "siteName": "My super page",
    "author": "Me !!!",
    "useCache": true,
    "postPerPage": 12,
    "numberOfLastItem": 5,
    "debug": true,
    "fetching": {},
    "navLinks": {}
}

Option	Type	Default	Description
siteName	string	My super page	Site name
author	string	Me !!!	Your name
useCache	bool	true	Enable or disable cache
postPerPage	int	12	Number of posts in /posts page
numberOfLastItem	int	5	Number of items feed
debug	bool	false	Enable or disable some action for debugin
fetching	array	null	List of feed or API (Key = serviceName, value = url)
navLinks	array	null	List of nav entry (Key = linkName, value = url)

Notes

If you change/update config, all cache are cleaning.

Ideas

Original Idea by SebSauvage in french.

If you have NextCloud installed on your server, you can use it to manage your markdown file. It's very convenient for uploading your markdown file, renaming them, moving them, and organizing them into folders.

In the NextCloud settings: Settings > Administration > External Storage:

Option	Description
Folder Name	The name of the folder as it will appear in NextCloud.
External Storage	Choose Local
Authentication	None
Configuration	Enter the path of your /datas folder

Don't forget to disable encrypt for this folder.

More info about external storage in Nextcloud admin documentation.

The same idea can be use with another sync tool of course.
