Pyblog allows you to create a simple and customizable blog site with minimal effort.
Write your posts in markdown, build the blog site, and deploy it anywhere you like.
The easiest way to install from PyPI is to the pip command
pip install --user pyblog
If you have cloned the source code you can install it with
pip install --user .
Say, you want to create a new blog that describes your philosophical thoughts. You call it Discourses. To create this new blog type in a terminal
pyblog init Discourses
now navigate to the newly created folder
cd Discourses
To publish your first though, create a new file on posts/my_first_thought.md
draft: no
# My first thought
I will drink more water. I will exercise more and I will wake up earlier.
No, I'm not. I rather not to.
Finally, build the website using the command
pyblog build
All the contents of the website are under the folder public. You can upload these files to any server of your liking. If you wish to check
how the site will look you can use the command
pyblog test
which will create a local server with your website on http://localhost:9090 by default.
- Simply and minimalistic user interface
- Sane defaults for the website. Have a nice blog with all the expected features: archive, categories, and a home page with the latest posts
- Markdown-format post system. No need of complex databases, the only thing needed to build your website are the markdown files representing your posts. Ideal for version control!
- Optimized build system. Only builds what you have newly added, not the entire site again and again
