Usage

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/comzeradd/monopati.git

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use posts, pages folders for blog and static content respectively.

Use templates for adjusting UI to fit your needs. Jinja2 template engine is being used for both templates and pages. Markdown for blog posts.

Copy configuration example and edit it to fit your site specifics.

cp config.yml-dist config.yml

Run monopati:

./monopati.py

This will generate all necessary files for serving the website. Monopati doesn't create any subfolder for generating the files, so it should be fairly easy to deploy it by just uploading the whole folder.

Example

The code comes with one example post (under the posts) folder. You can check how the metadata header is being user and some basic syntax and how images can be added to a post. Under the pages folder there is a static template example which serves as the landing and about page of your site.
