A reinvent the wheel project in Rust: static website generator for my blog.

Configuration

Paths are configurable in configuration.yaml.

Running

cargo run

Then serve the output/ directory using a web serve. For example, I'm using simple-http-server:

simple-http-server -i output

If you want to publish drafts too (can be handy when working locally) you have to pass the -p flag:

cargo run -- -p

Watch for changes

watchexec -e md cargo run

or to see drafts:

watchexec -e md cargo run -- -p

Deploy

rsync -avz --delete output/ [email protected]:/home/data/vincent.jousse.org

Nginx rewrite rules

rewrite ^/rss.xml$ /atom.xml permanent;

# Do not rewrite the exact URL /blog/fr/
if ($request_uri = /blog/fr/) {
  break;
}

# Do not rewrite URLs starting with /blog/fr/tech
if ($request_uri ~* ^/blog/fr/tech) {
   break;
}

# Do not rewrite URLs starting with /blog/fr/perso
if ($request_uri ~* ^/blog/fr/perso) {
   break;
}

# Rewrite URLs of type /blog/fr/something (with exactly one path component) to /blog/fr/perso/something
# Avoid rewriting URLs that already contain /perso/ immediately after /fr/
# Old blog urls
rewrite ^/blog/fr/(?!perso/)([^/]+)/?$ /blog/fr/perso/$1 permanent;
