tA's Blog, currently hosted at [Regular Flolloping](https://regularflolloping.com)

## Getting Started

What you need to get the generator up and running.

### Prerequisites

Built using Nix.
Nix can be installed with:  
```
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
```  

### Dependencies

`imagemagick` is required for the favicons.

### Installing

Enter the build environment

```
nix-shell --pure
```

Compile the generator

```
nix-build
```  


Generate the site

```
./result/site rebuild
```

And test it out

```
./result/site watch
```

The site will now be avaliable at `localhost:8000`

## Deployment

Site will be completely static, so simply point your server to the `_site` directory

if you edit the values in [rfg.sh](rfg.sh) to point to your git repo, you can run;

```
nix-shell --pure --run "./rfg.sh"
```

to automatically build up upload a gopher mirror, such as to work with [lain.church](https://lain.church)

this will also build the http site

if you're not running NixOS, then please edit the bang line in the script to point to your bash installation.
