Owl Blogs

A simple web server for blogs generated from Markdown files.

This project is not yet stable. Expect frequent breaking changes! Only use this if you are willing to regularly adjust your project accordingly.

Repository

A repository holds all data for a web server. It contains multiple users.

User

A user has a collection of posts. Each directory in the /users/ directory of a repository is considered a user.

User Directory structure

<user-name>/
  \- public/
       \- <post-name>
            \- index.md
                -- This will be rendered as the blog post.
                -- Must be present for the blog post to be valid.
                -- All other folders will be ignored
            \- incoming_webmentions.yml
                -- Used to track incoming webmentions
            \- outgoing_webmentions.yml
                -- Used to track outgoing webmentions
            \- media/
                -- Contains all media files used in the blog post.
                -- All files in this folder will be publicly available
            \- webmention/
               \- <hash>.yml
                    -- Contains data for a received webmention
  \- meta/
       \- base.html
            -- The template used to render all sites
       \- config.yml
            -- Holds information about the user
       \- VERSION
            -- Contains the version string.

Post

Posts are Markdown files with a mandatory metadata head.

  • The title will be added to the web page and does not have to be reapeated in the body. It will be used in any lists of posts.
  • description is optional. At the moment this is only used for the HTML head meta data.
  • aliases are optional. They are used as permanent redirects to the actual blog page.
  • draft is false by default. If set to true the post will not be accessible.
  • reply optional. Will add the link to the top of the post with rel="in-reply-to". For more infos see: https://indieweb.org/reply

Actual post

Webmentions

This feature is not yet full supported and needs a lot of manual work. Expect this to change quiet frequently and breaking existing usages.

To send webmentions use the command owl webmention

Retrieved webmentions have to be approved manually by changing the approval_status in the incoming_webmentions.yml file.

incoming_webmentions.yml

- source: https://example.com/post
  title: Example Post
  approval_status: ["", "approved", "rejected"]
  retrieved_at: 2021-08-13T17:07:00Z

outgoing_webmentions.yml

- target: https://example.com/post
  supported: true
