Nikola-as-a-service demo
One of the things I hacked at during this PyCamp is trying to figure out a nice workflow for Nikola, something that will enable users that are not so technical, to use it.
One first step is Nikola-as-a-service, which is meant for technical users anyway but lays down the infrastructure for this to work semi-nicely.
In the video below, you will see me do this:
- Go to GitHub
- Take a starter's blog I provided, and do a clone
- Go to the nikola-as-a-service site, and login (via twitter)
- Create a site using my fork's repo URL
- Get a "webhook" URL, and add it to my fork's admin as a post-commit hook
- Edit a file in github's web UI and commit it (you can of course just push from any github client)
- Automatically, the site nikola-as-a-service publishes gets updated.
Please don't try to use this service yet because:
- It's running in a $4.50/month server
- It's the same server my own blog uses
- I will turn it off, delete everything, etc. every once in a while
- I am editing the code on the server, so no guarantees it will not just stop working.
So, here's the video:
