Statique - Static Site Server

• Statique is a static site server written with Crystal language and Kemal Web Framework.
• It compiles the Markdown content in your Dropbox folder into HTML with pandoc every X minutes.
• (Optional) It watches for changes in your Dropbox folder, then compiles all your Markdown files into HTML with pandoc when any change detected.
• It provides a hook URL so that it can copy and rebuild the Markdown files upon a change in your Dropbox folder.
• Access can be restricted with passwords and permissions.
• Each folder can be assigned special permissions via files in config folder.
• Sample Dropbox folder structure can be seen in sample_dropbox_folder.

Installation

Read Installation Docs.

Authentication

Passwords are located on config/passwords.txt file of the sample_dropbox_folder/config in the username:password format, one at each line.

Authorization

Permissions are located on config/permissions.yml file of the sample_dropbox_folder/config.

• This file has a tree structure.
• root represents path /.
• Each item may contain users and children options.
  • users option is a list of usernames who has the access to this path and its children.
    • ['*'] represents anybody can access to this folder.
    • /__kemal__ and paths like /css /js should have users: ['*'] so that anyone can use the static assets.
  • children option is a list of subpaths underneath that folder.

Development

If you want to run Statique on your local machine,

• Make sure you have proper Dropbox/statique/config folder.
• Checkout code:

git clone http://github.com/fikrimuhal/statique && git checkout dropbox && cd statique
shards install

• Use the default build script to build your Dropbox repository:

sh cronjob.sh

This will generate html files inside ~/statique/public folder.

• Now you can start Statique server:

crystal src/statique.cr

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the result. You can use admin:admin password to access all the site.

TODO

• MD5 Hashing for passwords
• Hook Queue: if another build request comes, do not reject it but put it into the queue. If multiple requests are come, use the last one.
