The idea here is that you can just upload a markdown file to the public/posts directory, and every thing else is automatic. The main rules are that the post has to be named YYYY-MM-DD_Title-of-the-post.md and the first line in the markdown file needs to be a heading with the title.

INSTALLATION

As root, just type make install within this archive. There is one configurable option within the make file, and that is the installation prefix. It will default to /var/www. There is a make uninstall as well if you decide you hate it, and there is a make reinstall if you modify something and make the script worse.

I use John Gruber's markdown which is written in Perl, and can be installed on Debian/Ubuntu via apt install markdown. You can use any markdown parser you want if it accepts string input and outputs strings to stdout. If yours isn't named "markdown" but fits that description, just symlink it into place like ln -s /usr/bin/whatever /usr/local/bin/markdown.

USAGE

You need to enable CGI in your web server. I use nginx with fcgi wrap. The document root needs to be the public directory made during install, unless you intend to use a subdirectory.
