cohost-blogger
A self-hostable front-end for Cohost mimicing a CMS.
What?
CMSes are stupid to host, stupid to make and stupid to find. Why bother? We have a perfectly fine Cohost. Let's use that!
This site, pointed at a Cohost user and tag, will find every post under that tag and display it in a nice way, including the comments and proper rendering of the contents themselves.
How?
If you're on NixOS, you should be able to integrate it into your system config as a flake or just run it with nix run.
First, install the dependencies:
git clone https://git.oat.zone/oat/cohost-blogger && cd cohost-blogger
npm install
Afterwards, for development, you can run:
npm run dev
Or, for deployment:
npm run build
PORT=1234 node build
Configuration
Currently, there isn't a proper configuration system - this is not yet made to be hosted by anyone by me. You can head into src/lib/config.js for all instance-specific configuration, but this will be expanded into a proper system eventually:tm.
