Coil

Coil is a minimalistic static content engine written in elixir.

Requirements

You must have the latest stable version of elixir installed, v0.12.5 as of the writing of this.

Install

Clone the repo, fetch dependencies and compile:

git clone https://github.com/badosu/coil
cd coil && mix do deps.get, compile

Bootstrap a sample coil blog:

mix coil ../blog
cd ../blog && mix deps.get

Apply your configuration:

$EDITOR config.yml

Usage

Add an article: mix post.

Run (on port 8080): PORT=8080 mix run --no-halt.

Deploy to Heroku:

heroku create --buildpack "https://github.com/goshakkk/heroku-buildpack-elixir.git"
git push heroku master

Customize

If you have a mix.exs file requiring the coil lib properly, like this one, you have only to follow the structure below to get it working:

.
|-- articles
|   `-- YYYY-mm-dd-article-title.md
|-- assets
|   `-- example.css
|-- config.yml
|-- mix.exs
|-- pages
