Server that's running my blog

BlogEngine

This is the server written to serve my blog https://satran.in. It is custom built to run my blog completely from memory.

If you plan to use it there are a few environment variables you need to provide:

• HOSTNAME: to ensure the right hostname is set for serving RSS feeds
• CERT & KEY: if you intend on using TLS, the files for the certificate
• SITE: the directory from which to serve the site from
• METRICS_TOKEN: a random string to be used as token if you want to serve it under /metrics for prometheus

The site directory needs to follow the structure below:

• blog/: all your articles written as markdown. The first line is the Title and the second line is the date with a format dd/mm/yyyy. Blog URLS are prefixed with /b rather than /blog.
• static/: directory serving static files. Static URLs are prefixed with /s rather than /static
• alias.json: a JSON key value object with the key being the alias of the value. I created this as I wanted to migrate the URLs of my old site.
