SIMPLE GUIDE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN SHINOBI.WEBSITE
Learn how to setup your own Shinobi site without the need for any
technical background.
I'm going to keep this article as streamlined as possible. This post
assumes you understand _what_ a shinobi website is and will therefore
skip reiterating that. Instead we will break things down into basic
step-by-step instructions.
STEP 1
------
Create a new folder (where you think it is best on your system). This
will contain all the files for our shinobi website. Name it what ever
you like.
STEP 2
------
Download the following project:
https://git.sr.ht/~tdarb/shinobi-script
STEP 3
------
Edit the following content in the newly created "script.sh" to align
with your own settings. (ie: YOUR-DOMAIN would be
"yourcustomdomain.com") Feel free to use any text editor that works
best for you.
1. YOUR-DOMAIN
2. YOUR-EMAIL (YOUR-NAME)
3. YOUR-BLOG-TITLE
4. YOUR-BLOG-DESCRIPTION
5. YOUR-COPYRIGHT-INFO
*Important*: You might not have a domain setup currently or plan to use
the one generated by Netlify Drop below. That's okay! You can always
come back to this step after the domain is live, change it and re-run
everything again to update!
STEP 4
------
Next, look for the folder named "posts". This will contain all your
blog posts going forward. (It also contains a couple dummy posts for
reference)
STEP 5
------
Write your first blog post! Create a new text file inside the "posts"
sub-folder (ie: my-awesome-post.txt). Be sure to structure the first 4
lines the same as below: (Pay attention to the blank space between the
title and post description!)
> Thu, 21 Apr 2022
> YOUR BLOG POST TITLE
>
> This is my short and sweet blog post description
STEP 6
------
If you are happy with your article then that means it's time to
generate your site! Open a terminal app in your system (Windows, Mac,
Linux - doesn't matter) and navigate to your new website folder by
typing the following:
cd path/to/your/blog/folder
STEP 7
------
Now run the bash script to generate the "feed.xml" file automatically:
bash script.sh > feed.xml
STEP 8
------
Now to host your new website! For this tutorial we are going to use
Netlify Drop for simplicity and ease-of-use. Go to
https://app.netlify.com/drop and then drag-and-drop your website folder
directly into the website.
You'll get a ".netlify.app" based URL, unless you decide to implement a
custom domain (which is easy to do following Netlify's instructions).
Now you can share your "subdomain.netlify.app/feed.xml" with the world
and your readers can subscribe via RSS!
WHAT ABOUT NEW POSTS OR UPDATES?
--------------------------------
By getting a free Netlify account you can continue to re-upload the
website folder when you make changes or add new articles. Easy, right?
Good luck on your own shinobi websites!
P.S. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions via
shinobi.web@protonmail.com. I'll try to respond as quick as I can.
Please be patient!
