# Beaker Blog

This is a simple blog based on Pythons Flask framework.
The basic design is based on LukeSmithXYZs blog.
However I dislike using a script for adding entries and just want to add entries via plain text files.

## Usage

### Create entries

Blog entries are managed by plain html files in the `templates/entry/` directory.
The first line of each document is reserved as the title of the document.
You have to specify the filetype by extension.

## Deployment

### PIP/Python

- `git clone https://github.com/tiyn/tiyny-blog`
- `cd tiyny-blog/src`
- edit the `config.py` file according to your needs
- `pip3install -r requirements.txt` - install depenencies
- run `python app.py`
- blog is available on port 5000

### Docker

Make sure you copy an example `config.py` and edit it before running the container.
The `config.py` can be found in the `src` folder.

#### Volumes

Set the following volumes with the -v tag.

| Volume-Name | Container mount           | Description                                                  |
