I am working on a blogging platform that does not need any backend (in terms of an app listening for http connections). The overall architecture is an web app that is talking to WebDAV and then pages get build by a static site generator. I use getpelican.com but you can use Hugo or Jekyll based on your preference.
- Chris2048 7y agoHow would that work? surely something needs to serve the static content to a http request?
- atheiste 7y agoYou are right of course. There is still nginx taking care of everything. The point is that you need nothing but nginx/caddy/Apache. Currently, I don't know any way how to initiate execution of scripts over http server so there is a systemd timer checking changes in files and recompiling the whole site. This has lot of downsides. The easiest would be if the static generator reacts on existence of a specific file - recompiles the site and removes the file afterwards.
