Everything required to host my site on your own.

Dependencies

• php

Testing

You can test the page using php -S localhost:1337 and opening http://localhost:1337 in your web browser.

Crontab notes

If you want to git pull every minute, you can do the following:

• sudo crontab -e to edit the crontab file
• Add */1 * * * * su -s /bin/sh <your user> -c '/usr/bin/gitpull.sh' to the file.
• Add the following to /usr/bin/gitpull.sh

#!/bin/sh
cd /var/www/page
cd speedie.site # assuming /var/www/page/speedie.site is the git repository
git pull origin master > /tmp/gitpull_speedie.site # log file

Blog

The blog is handled by blog.php. It also generates rss.xml on execution if the result differs from the existing file. To add new blog posts, add a new Markdown article to /articles. You must also create a .md.date and .md.num file for the new page. The .md.date contains the date, in YYYY-MM-DD format, and the .md.num contains the blog post number, used for sorting.

Contributions

To contribute, simply create an issue or submit a pull request. You know how it works.
