Pages

Auto-deploy static websites from git repositories

Why?

SSHing into a server and performing a git pull is boring. I couldn't find any free(as in freedom) software for automating static website deploys like GitHub Pages or Netlify.

This is very minimal, all it does is a git fetch $branch but it works for me :)

Usage

1. All configuration is done through ./config/default.toml(can be moved to /etc/static-pages/config.toml). Too add a website, make a similar entry:

   pages = [
   	{ branch = "gh-pages", repo = "https://github.com/realaravinth/realaravinth/", path ="/var/www/pages/realaravinth", secret = "mytopsecretsuperlongpassword123" },
   ]
   

2. If pages is deployed at pages.example.com and you wish to deploy changes from gh-pages branch, you can do so with the following command:

    curl -v --location --request POST 'https://pages.example.com/api/v1/update' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-raw "{
   	\"secret\": \"$token\",
   	\"branch\": \"gh-pages\"
   }"
