## Usage

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 flaskblog/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.
