In this blog post we are going to learn how to host a pseudo static/dynamic blog. The blog itself is from another developer who has a tutorial on how to make it, but for the sake of speed we are going to clone the repo and adapt it
This instruction are for linux only, but can be made in any os easily.
Make a folder wherever you want, open the terminal inside it and type
git clone https://github.com/insomnux/flaskblog.git
cd flaskblog
mv app.py main.py
If you want to follow the complete tutorial instead, go to flaskblog author post
Now let's install Deta cli
curl -fsSL https://get.deta.dev/cli.sh | sh
check if deta cli installed sucesfully
deta --help
If you get error you must add the cli to your path
export PATH="$PATH:/home/<user>/.deta/bin"
Check again
deta --help
Usage:
deta [flags]
deta [command]
Available Commands:
auth Change auth settings for a deta micro
clone Clone a deta micro
cron Change cron settings for a deta micro
deploy Deploy a deta micro
details Details about a deta micro
help Help about any command
login Login to deta
new Create a new deta micro
projects List deta projects
pull Pull the lastest deployed code of a deta micro
run Run a deta micro
update Update a deta micro
version Print deta version
visor Change visor settings for a deta micro
watch Deploy changes in real time
Flags:
-h, --help help for deta
Use "deta [command] --help" for more information about a command.
We are set
In terminal type
deta --login
Once logged in type
deta new
And finaly
deta deploy
Pro tip Make sure you type those commands inside the project folder
Now go to web.deta.sh, in micros tab, and look for the project, there is a link for your brand new blog
Local develop
For ease on the customization, you should make changes locally
Lets create a virtual environment, activated and install dependencies
virtualenv env
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirments.txt
Finally run the server locally
python main.py
Pro tip Do not make the virtualenv inside de root folder of your project, thats because the virtualenv will be uploaded to the micros.
So here is a example of how i do it
mkdir dev && cd dev
virtualenv env
. env/bin/activate
git clone clone https://github.com/insomnux/flaskblog.git
cd flaskblog
pip install -r requirments.txt
mv app.py main.py
deta new
deta deploy
python main.py
Cheers
Refer to deta docs for more information
BTW this blog is made with de flaskblog and deta micros
