bashblog-unbound
A fork of the original bashblog. Unbound by some of the restrictions, but not too much.
Fork as of this point from GitHub:
Usage
Download the code and copy bb.sh into a public folder (for example, $HOME/public_html/blog
) and run
./bb.sh
This will show the available commands. If the file is not executable, type chmod +x bb.sh
and retry.
Before creating your first post, you may want to configure the blog settings (title, author, etc). Read the Configuration section below for more information
To create your first post, just run:
./bb.sh post
It will try to use CommonMark Markdown, if installed. To force HTML:
./bb.sh post -html
The script will handle the rest.
When you're done, access the public URL for that folder (e.g. http://server.com/~username/blog
)
and you should see the index file and a new page for that post!
Configuration
There are two ways to configure the blog strings:
- Edit
bb.sh
and modify the variables in theglobal_variables()
function - Create a
.config
file with your configuration values -- useful if you don't want to touch the script and be able to update it regularly with git
The software will load the values in the script first, then overwrite them with the values in the .config
file.
This means that you don't need to define all variables in the config file, only those which you need to override
from the defaults.
The format of the .config
file is just one variablename="value"
per line, just like in the global_variables()
function. Please remember: quote the values, do not declare a variable with the dollar sign, do not use
spaces around the equal sign.
bashblog-unbound uses the $EDITOR
environment value to open the text editor.
