Statik aims to be a simple, yet powerful, generic static web site generator. Instead of forcing you to adhere to a particular data structure/model (like the standard blog data model, with posts, pages and tags), Statik allows you to define your own data models in YAML format, and instances of those data models either in YAML or Markdown. This is all loaded into an in-memory SQLAlchemy SQLite database when rendering your views.
Then, code up your templates using the Jinja2 templating engine (very similar to the Django templating engine), or Mustache templates.
Finally, define your views (either complex or simple) in YAML format, telling Statik how to render your data and templates to specific URLs for your shiny new static web site. Write queries for your views in SQLAlchemy's ORM syntax, or MLAlchemy to make your life easier.
See the wiki for more details.
In order to install Statik, you will need:
- Python 3.6+
piporeasy_install
Simply run the following:
> pip install statikTo upgrade, just run the following:
> pip install --upgrade statikTo build the project in the current directory, writing output files to the
public directory within the current directory:
> statikTo build a project in another directory, writing output files to the public
directory within that directory:
> statik -p /path/to/project/folderTo build a project in another directory, with control over where to place the output files:
> statik -p /path/to/project/folder -o /path/to/output/folderTo create an empty project folder with the required project structure, simply run:
> statik -p /path/to/project/ --quickstartA Statik project must adhere to the directory structure as follows:
config.yml - YAML configuration file for the overall project.
assets/ - Static assets for the project (images, CSS files,
scripts, etc.). Ignored if themes are used.
data/ - Instances for each of the different models, defined either in
YAML or Markdown format.
models/ - A folder specifically dedicated to model definitions, in YAML
format.
templates/ - Jinja2/Mustache template files. Ignored if themes are used.
templatetags/ - Python scripts defining custom Jinja2 template tags and
filters.
themes/ - If your project uses themes, place them here. Each theme
must be uniquely named, and must contain an "assets"
and "templates" folder.
views/ - Configuration files, in YAML format, defining "recipes" for how
to generate various different URLs (which models to use, which
data and which templates).
For example projects, see the examples directory in the source repository.
For more information, see the
wiki.
Themes for Statik will slowly start appearing in the Statik Themes repository. Watch that space!
Statik can publish your generated site for you through SFTP or through Netlify.
To publish your website via SFTP, you can configure certain values by way of configuration file or environment variable-based options. Some sensitive options, however, must be configured exclusively by way of environment variables.
For your configuration file:
deploy:
sftp:
host: your-server.com
dest-path: /folder/on/your/server/
user: youruserforyourserver
# you can also optionally specify which SSH private key to use
key-file: ~/.ssh/my-private-key
# optionally specify SFTP port (default: 22)
port: 2222Set up your sensitive environment variables prior to running Statik:
# If your server requires password-based authentication
> export SFTP_PASSWORD=mysftppassword
# If your SSH key file is encrypted and it requires a password to decrypt
> export SFTP_KEY_FILE_PASSWORD=mysftpkeyfilepasswordAlternatively, you could set up all SFTP variables through environment variables alone:
> export SFTP_HOST=your-server.com
> export SFTP_PORT=2222 # optionally set SFTP port
> export SFTP_DEST_PATH=/folder/on/your/server
> export SFTP_USER=youruserforyourserver
> export SFTP_PASSWORD=mysftppassword
> export SFTP_KEY_FILE=~/.ssh/my-private-key
> export SFTP_KEY_FILE_PASSWORD=mysftpkeyfilepasswordThen run Statik using the following deployment command:
> statik --deploy sftpFor troubleshooting SFTP connections, run this using the -v flag to increase
output verbosity:
> statik --deploy sftp -vTo publish your website via Netlify, you will need 2 things: your Netlify access token and your Netlify site ID.
First, specify your access token and site ID as environment variables:
Linux:
> export NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN=<netlify_token>
> export NETLIFY_SITE_ID=<netlify_site_id>Windows
> set NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN=<netlify_token>
> set NETLIFY_SITE_ID=<netlify_site_id>Then, run Statik by passing in --deploy=netlify.
statik --deploy netlifyStatik will upload the static site that it outputs.
