Seehund creates serverless blogs in AWS.
Publish a blog on your own domain without paying a SAAS provider or configuring Wordpress hosting.
git checkout https://github.com/writercoder/seehund
cd seehund
yarn
bin/seehund create "My awesome blog"
Then set an email and password when prompted.
bin/seehund list
bin/seehund admin -b my-awesome-blog
This should open a browser with your brand new blog.
Your blog will be available at a cloudfront default domain which is something like https://dtshnk17u74uz.cloudfront.net/
To set a custom domain, there are a few steps to take.
You can use Amazon Route 53 for this or your registrar of choice. Using Amazon Route 53 makes certificate validation easier.
Use Amazon Certificate Manager to create or upload a certificate. It must be valid for the domain you want to use. Make a note of the certificate ARN as you will need it in the next step.
Run the command,
bin/seehund set_web_domain -d blog.mydomain.com -c <Cerftificate ARN>
Now your blog should be available at https://blog.mydomain.com
You need to create a cname record and point it to the Cloudfront distribution hosting your blog. This is NOT the url hosting the admin panel as Seehund uses different CloudFront distributions for front and back end. Instead you can find the url on the Dashboard of your blog.
