Bucket3

bucket3 is a simple, blog aware, static site generator written in python. It reads your content and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server.

bucket3 would like to become a virtual “information bucket” where you throw pieces of information (texts, images, audio, etc), and presents them in a nice blog-like format.

Quick intro

Install bucket3

pip install bucket3

Create a local directory to hold your blog and initialize a new bucket3 blog

mkdir myblog
cd myblog 
bucket3 init

Configure your blog: Edit bucket3.conf.yaml and set your blog name, URL, etc.

Create a new post

cd posts
bucket3 new hello-world-1 

Edit the generated .md file, and add some text.

Generate/update your blog's HTML.

bucket3 update

You should now have your whole blog under "html" (as defined in your conf file).

Upload the contents of html/ to your server.
