Markdown open-source site generators
Hi!
Pls recommend tools wich are good to use for publishing .md files as sites? Could be static but threes-structured (Beside git and nextcloud, of course)
would like to "publish notebook" from obsidian over internet
I saw https://vitepress.dev/ but for noobs it's hard to get use to it
Thank you
Maybe this is too technical still, but Eleventy is a pretty cool project that can publish markdown.
Personally, I use Hugo. Good for blog type websites.
I use Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for personal blog.
There are also other options depending on your use case. For example, https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook for documentation/ebook style content.
Jekyll is a markdown-based CMS and is the engine behind Github pages.
I use Perlite. It doesn't work with Obsidian publish, but Syncthing fills that role nicely
I use Zola, works fine for me: https://www.getzola.org/
If it is for documentation try docusaurus.
A tool that works with markdown is tiddlywiki but I am not sure if it fits your needs.
Well, it's not OpenSource, nor Markdown, but free, private and perfect to use ro design a Website fast and easy. It's the Blue Velvet Editor, a complete wordprocessor or Html editor, which save the files locally in Html format by default, so it only need to upload it as is to an host. You can even select the content of an website and paste it in the editor, there it will appear in its original UI with all working links. Works in PC and Mobile, in the browser or as PWA.
I use soupault for my static personal website.
You’d still need to create your templates, but I found it a lot more straightforward to use for a minimal than other static site generators.
It just generates a folder with your HTML files and resources that you could upload to any basic web host.
And it’s a self contained executable so you don’t need to install Node.js or anything else.
I'm working on something kind of relevant. It's not ready yet but I'm wondering what features are requirements for you?
I think easiest for me, friends and family would be like:
Hey, here is a space in my git\nextcloud accound to store all .md files and i giving access to you (program), but to fully control\create\edit and so on - we need to work with intuitive friendly GUI web-interface (or just desktop GUI) wich also can place folders in files (and links between) in git\nextcloud by it self automatically
After all - publish it somehow on free domain name
Hope, i worte it ok in English
I recall seeing something like https://jamstack.org/generators/ and maybe https://github.com/myles/awesome-static-generators in the past, but I prefer to use https://orgmode.org/manual/HTML-export-commands.html and something similar to https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-pages-setup/#option-a-gitlab-ci-for-plain-html-websites
https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/pages/getting_started/pages_new_project_template/#project-templates might be interesting to you
What's wrong with Github? It will render your Markdown files, you can edit them anytime and it does not cost you any money. The site should be around for quite some time too, so no fear of losing links pointing to it in the future. As an additional bonus, you get free Git versioning too.
I wanted to do the same so I used an AI to help me write a python script that does that and publishes a static site. It was really useful and introduced me to Jinja2 in the process.
