statik is a lightweight flexible text-based static blogging engine, inspired by the venerable blosxom.
Posts are simple text files with headers, which are used to generate static web pages (html, atom, etc.) to be served by a standard webserver like apache or nginx.
No databases or dynamic web infrastructure are required, meaning you can host your blog on a simple vps and still have it perform like a star when you're slashdotted. The only real requirements are perl >= 5.06, and the following perl modules from CPAN:
- Config::Tiny
- DateTime
- DateTime::Format::Strptime
- DateTime::Format::RFC3339
- Encode
- Exporter::Lite
- Hash::Merge
- JSON
- parent
- Text::MicroMason
- URI
Dynamic content, like comments and comment threads, are possible with javascript.
