wruby

• Minimal blog and static site generator
• Licensed under MIT
• Discussion, patches etc. go to the list
• The "w" is silent...

Dependencies

• ruby (ruby-dev if needed)
• ruby gems: kramdown and rss

Getting Started

Make your changes in the main configuration file _config.yml file (site URL, your name, etc.).

• Blog posts go under the posts directory as markdown files
• Posts need to be structured with an h1 on the first line, a space on the second, and the date on the third line (ie. 2024-07-20)
• Pages go under the pages directory as markdown files
• Media (images, videos etc) go in the root public directory
• Main styling is found in public/style.css (feel free to get creative!)

Defaults

• The homepage only displays the first 5 posts. You can configure this in _config.yml under post_count.
• The full blog post index will be generated at yoursite.com/posts
• This means you need to have a posts.md file in your pages directory (or change posts_index the core _config.yml)

Running

1. wruby is based off of Ruby 3.3.3 (use rbenv or rvm to avoid privilege conflicts)
2. Install dependencies: gem install 'kramdown:2.4.0' 'rss:0.3.0'
3. Run make build in the root directory
4. Upload build folder to your server
5. Share your blog or site!
