Simiki

Host on github(using project pages)

we need ghp-import to help us do it more efficiently.

Usage: ghp-import [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY
Options:
  -n          Include a .nojekyll file in the branch.
  -m MESG     The commit message to use on the target branch.
  -p          Push the branch to origin/{branch} after committing.
  -r REMOTE   The name of the remote to push to. [origin]
  -b BRANCH   Name of the branch to write to. [gh-pages]
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

once you have generate your wiki, pushing the static files to github is esay:

$ pip install ghp-import
$ ghp-import -p output

you can visit your site via https://USERNAME.github.io/PROJECT_NAME after
about ten minutes.

if you don't use a custom domain, set root to /PROJECT_NAME in
_config.yml, and when you want to preview at local, please use
simiki generate --ignore-root, otherwise the css doesn't work at local;
if you use your own custom domain, you don't need to do anything at all,
add a 'CNAME' file to the output directory is enough.

ralated problems:

use custom subdomaian

if you want to use your own domain, create a CNAME file under the output
directory:

wiki.lord63.com

then:

$ ghp-import -p output

In cooperation with your DNS provider, create a CNAME record that points
from that domain to USERNAME.github.io. Your DNS changes can take up to a
full day to propagate.

Host on vps(using nginx)

create a configure file named wiki.lord63.com.conf under /etc/nginx/conf.d/

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  wiki.lord63.com;
    root         /path/to/the/output_dir;
    index        index.html index.htm;

    location / {
        index index.html;
    }
}


$ sudo nginx -t    # check whether the config file is ok or not
$ sudo service nginx reload

Tips

你可以使用 FreeFileSync 的 RealtimeSync 来监控 content 目录，一旦有改动就
generate 一次，使用 supervisor 来实现开机启动和后台运行。
