For folks who are using static site generators, but are self-hosting your sites, how are you handling deployment if building automatically? I've got Woodpecker CI building my site automatically.

I know I could use SFTP to push it to my web server... but am wondering if there's a more clever way to do this.

#introduction

I make websites. Sometimes I toot about it.
#eleventy #webc #php #statamic #laravel #tailwindcss #alpinejs uhhh whatever #sql and I guess #nginx #docker and all that crap all the way down. #fullstack

I play RPGs with friends. Sometimes I toot about it.
#ttrpg #dnd #pathfinder #5e #pf2e

I am my group's sysadmin. Sometimes I toot about it.
#selfhosted #plex #lemmy #mastodon #pihole and throw some darts at https://selfh.st and you catch the rest.

Hot takes, bad jokes, etc.

Hello #eleventy people! I am using the #i18n plugin and I am having a weird issue in which collections created within language-specific directories don't set their respective language and instead use the fallback language. So any collection item created in `fr/` or `it/` will only ever have a `page.lang` of `de` because that is the fallback.

What could possibly cause this?

How I Run Eleventy (It’s Complicated?), by @j9t [@frontenddogma]:

https://meiert.com/en/blog/how-i-run-eleventy/

Morning!

Need some #Frontend input.

I have a client who wants a basic site.
He is agnostic about the tech.
But he does need

• A section that is passworded (that can be shared with credentials to contacts)

I want to use 11ty with Notion (or similar CMS). And do the password stuff with some auth (pretty new to me).

He is a photographer and has some images of drug use/abuse. So I was slightly cautious about putting images that could potentially violate a platforms TOS even if they are only ever served to pages that are behind a passworded folder.

We can happily go down the Wordpress route. My preference would be to avoid that, but at least he would have ownership of the DB.

Any thoughts? Insights?

TIA

So I wrote about using Vento in #eleventy and it was a nice experience: https://chriskirknielsen.com/blog/taking-vento-js-for-a-spin-in-eleventy/

Hats off to you, @misteroom, Vento is quite lovely!

Eleventy: A GitHub Workflow to Check if an Automated Dependency Update Would Break Your Site, by @j9t [@frontenddogma]:

He might not want any credit for this but thanks to vrugtehagel I've been able to set up an Eleventy site connecting to a Notion database as the CMS.

Crude but it works.

I'm stoked to try and develop it.

Since leaving 18F, I’ve spent much of the last month thinking about what’s next for me work-wise. And of course, I’ve been doing no small amount of doomscrolling. But amid all of that, I’ve been remembering how to treat my website like a worry stone. When things get too stressful I’ll spend some time sanding down a few rough edges in the redesign. A...

Double pagination in #eleventy? Yes, we can! And given it's a fun challenge, I wrote about it here: https://chriskirknielsen.com/blog/double-pagination-in-eleventy/ Also yes my entire sense of humour is memes, why do you ask? #11ty

The Eleventy data cascade is great:

You can have data on different “layers", for example, applying to an entire directory via JS or one file via Front Matter.

Eleventy merges these layers for you, including objects mapping to the same key.

I just created a map of string replacements for permalinks over different layers.

One central function uses the merged map to modify permalinks accordingly.

This is fancy stuff. I hope to write a detailed How-To in the future.

YAY! My #Python is improving! I made this thing that makes a new @eleventy for me based off templates. Any chance Eleventy will have a built in new post creation thing in the future? I know it makes absolutely zero assumptions about your project but this is the most time consuming part for me and I imagine I'm not alone in this thinking. https://github.com/rkingett/myblog/blob/main/MakeNewPost.py #Eleventy #11ty #WebDev

Mon site perso est généré et hébergé par Cloudflare Pages (avec #Eleventy), actualisé automatiquement dès que je mets à jour le code dans la branche principale de son dépôt Git.

J'aime cette mise en œuvre très pratique qui permet notamment de créer des contenus de n’importe où tant que j’ai accès au Git.

Mais je voudrais revenir sur @alwaysdata pour l’hébergement.

La technique décrite il y a quelques années par m4dz ne me paraît pas répondre à mon besoin : https://blog.alwaysdata.com/fr/2018/02/05/deployer-sans-peine-avec-git-hooks/

Des idées ?

Finally figured out my RSS issue the other day! So @eleventy really doesn't like capital letters in tag lists. For example, I assumed Eleventy would turn the below tag...

Newsletter

Into,

.com/newsletter/

but I had to go back in and change every tag to lower case! But if I put, Newsletter, in uppercase, URLs would break because for some reason the URLs would come out like this, breaking links.

.com/Newsletter/

So the short story lesson is, if in doubt, keep all tags in lower case because #Eleventy can't really handle capitalization well. At least, on my project anyway!

I had to go back in and change every instance of the tag, Newsletter, into, newsletter. Not expected but it works now!

#Eleventy experts, I've been trying to troubleshoot an RSS fluke all day. My feed reader isn't displaying the texts of my posts, and Buttondown isn't piping my newsletter RSS feed to the email list. Any ideas? https://github.com/rkingett/myblog #RSS #Help #WebDev @eleventy
