Spun up a blog/git host on a web server managed entirely by Guile Scheme and now I feel like a goddess (self.microblogish)

I got everything fixed up on an an old Dell I had sitting around over the course of the last week or two. It's got Guix System+Haunt serving static content, writing everything in Emacs+Org... I love this stuff. The world needs more Lisp, and more Lispers! I'm doing my part.

"How do I write my blog posts? Emacs."

I suppose you also use org-publish?

org-publish

Actually no! That's what Haunt is doing right now. For composing I just have Org export to markdown... though there's definitely probably a better way. I'm figuring it out as I go!

Can we see?

[–] mononoke 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's not ready yet! Unless you're interested in test posts. You can see it @ bluechateau.org regardless.

Cool!

I keep trying to get around to moving my web stuff from docker composes to Guix. Nice to know it isn't an impossible dream.

[–] mononoke 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Definitely not impossible! Speaking of Docker, there is even a sort of "compatibility layer" in the (oci-service-type) in Guix now, which seems pretty similar to me to what Docker compose does w/ the .yaml files but done in Scheme. I've got most of my Docker containers sorted out this way as part of the broader system config, which is just awesome for things that don't have dedicated services in Guix proper. Once it's not a complete dumpster fire and I feel comfortable showing it you can check git.bluechateau.org and it should all be there at some point! I only really barely know what I'm doing, but I love it.

Awesome! I wonder if I can write a converter...

[–] mononoke 2 points 2 weeks ago

Please show me if you do! Maybe I could help. I think it's probably doable, though!
