# GSL: Statique Littérateur

GSL is a multiple blogs/websites generator based on their domain, 
written in bash, for minimal dependancies. The websites are nearly all
static, except for some includes that nginx can easily get, in your
webserver.

# Dependancies
- bash
- coreutils
- curl (to check Posts links response)


# GSL: Installation

To avoid sudo, you should give permissions to USER

## --Prefix for DOMAIN configuration (set according to user choice):
- HOME:   ~/.config/gsl
- GLOBAL: /var/lib/gsl
- Folder: --Prefix/domains/ (created with $ gsl new)

### DOMAIN Datas from Prefix:
- Folder: --Prefix/DOMAIN/ (Created by GSL)
- - Files: DOMAIN.conf, authors.db (Created by GSL)
- - Folder: --Prefix/DOMAIN/tmeplates/ (css, logos...) (Created by GSL)

## Destination Folder: /etc/gsl/
- File: gsl.conf

## Destination Folder: /var/lib/gsl/
- Folder: db (Created by GSL)
- Folder: helps
- Folder: scripts
- File: README.md

## Destination Folder: /var/log/gsl
- File: gsl.log (Created and managed by GSL $ gsl log clean...)

## Destination Folder: /usr/local/bin
- File: gsl


# How to configure a DOMAIN folder, and create a Post
## Set a DOMAIN
- add a DOMAIN name (if not alrady done)
```
gsl new
```

Follow instructions when adding DOMAIN or see them again with
```
gsl help new
gsl help install
```

## Set a DOMAIN folder
if not already done:
- Create or go into your folder of choice
- Save into that folder a blank file named gsl.DOMAIN (gsl.example.org)
to tell GSL, this folder is for this DOMAIN website

## Create a new Post
- Write a post in a file, using some "metas" that GSL will catch.
The engine is written from scratch and looks like a mix of markdown and
ReStructuredText. It's very easy to learn and use.
- Save your file with .gsl extension
- Start checking it, using:
```
gsl check
```
If your Post has no error, you will have some ready to deploy html
files and folders. You could install lightweight darkhttpd webserver on
your PC to preview the website

# Create a Templates
You will have to create some CSS in your /DOMAIN/templates/
- HOME:   ~/.config/gsl/domains/DOMAIN/templates/
- GLOBAL: /var/lib/gsl/domains/DOMAIN/templates/
