Usage

Installation

The easiest way to get started with Lumaca is to use the Go package manager:

go install codeberg.org/jmcharter/lumaca@latest

Alternatively, you can clone this repo and generate your own binary.

Get Started

Once it's installed, create a new directory for your blog and run the init command:

mkdir MyBlog
cd MyBlog
lumaca init --author "John Doe" --title "MyBlog"

This will create a config file for you, which you can customize if you wish. It will also generate all of the boilerplate and template you need to get going.

To create your first blog post, use the new command.

lumaca new --title "My First Post"

A markdown file with some Frontmatter will be generated in your Posts directory (content/posts). Edit as appropriate, and when you're finished writing your post, you can run build to generate the html.

lumaca build

And if you'd like to see how it looks locally before deploying somewhere, you can run serve.

lumaca serve
