RootbeerSSG (or Rootbeer as I call it 100% of the time) is a SSG that specilises in making static blogs. It can easily integrate with things like Staticman. You can also quickly deploy it to the free hosting platform Netlify
Rootbeer is aimed for people who are new too things like Static Site Generators and strives to make it as easy as possible.
It's easy!
All you have to do is open a terminal and put this line into it:
pip install rootbeerSSGOr
python -m pip install rootbeerSSGOr
python3 -m pip install rootbeerSSGThe recommended way to install Rootbeer is to make a Virtual Envrionment. You will need a package called venv
If you don't have the venv module, you can install it like this:
pip install venvYou can do so by putting this in your console:
python -m venv envand it will create a folder called env. You can call it whatever you want.
Now to activate it, in your console run
env\Scripts\activateif you are on Windows. Great! You have your virtual environment! If you want to deactivate the virtual environment, just run
deactivateAll you have to do is:
from rootbeerSSG import RootbeerSSG
rb = RootbeerSSG()and run the file!!! Then write away! For more info, take a look at the Wiki section on the GitHub.
Rootbeer has two types of content: pages and posts. pages are, well, you know. Pages.
posts are the things you write and are stored in the blog folder.
Rootbeer supports Markdown for the posts and pages. They will be rendered into HTML.
You can do this in your terminal:
cd publicand then:
python -m http.serverand then you can go too localhost:8000 and BOOM! You have your site running!
