DodgerCMS – A static markdown CMS built on top of Amazon S3
- jgmmo 11y agolooks like jekyll, or jinja
- Fastidious 11y agoVery nice! I wonder what took so long for something like this. With DodgerCMS anyone can have a website for pennies per month. Thanks!
- kyledrake 11y agoOr free, if it was ported to Neocities: https://neocities.org https://neocities.org The S3 stuff looks pretty integrated with the main code though, might be tough to abstract it out. Nonetheless, this is a great app. I've been pondering making something like this for a while.
- johnchristopher 11y agoI disagree. `Anyone' has it much easier with Google sites.
- Fastidious 11y agoNot as good looking though. But it is true it might be easier.
- johnchristopher 11y agoTo clarify things: I am not supporting Google sites or suggesting it should be used instead of DodgerCMS. I just think the barrier to entry is much lower with Google sites.
- provost 11y agoThis looks great, and I was just starting to look into something like this...Does the editor/web-UI run locally, or in AWS?
- abeiz 11y agoThe editor can run locally or in S3.
- johnchristopher 11y agoIs there some kind of demo somewhere ?
- abeiz 11y agoThe documentation is the demo: http://dodgercms.com http://dodgercms.com
- meesterdude 11y agoI hate to be that guy, but why do i have to use amazon? Why can't i compile this locally and push it up to github and just host in there, if its a static site?
- gtCameron 11y agoYou don't have to use Amazon, you can use one of the other 800 non-amazon specific static site generators that exist instead of this one. The fact that a tool doesn't accomplish the particular workflow that you would like doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
- w-ll 11y agoI dont think meesterdude was implying DodgerCMS shouldn't exist. And I think the question of if it could support GH Pages is not a bad one, in fact I would rather host for free on GH than Amazon as well.
- maineldc 11y agoBut the whole point is that by reducing the number of choices, that it becomes simpler to start. It's even in the docs: Q: Why did you make this? A: I wanted to see if it was feasible to use S3 as a CMS, and I like working on projects like this for fun. So the author wasn't trying to create a static site CMS (there are LOTS of those already), but something different and maybe simpler.
- tbrooks 11y agoI've thought about doing something like this for a while, I'm so glad to see this exist. Kudos to you for open-sourcing. You also write great code that's well-commented.
- zuccs 11y agoCan anyone get this working? I'm just getting an 'Access Denied. Please make sure the user attached to the access key has access to [bucket]' error when running local.html from local or the bucket.
- abeiz 11y agoThis means the IAM user you created does not have the correct permissions to access the buckets you listed on the login page. This could be because of a typo somewhere in the policies, or maybe you entered the names of the buckets incorrectly on the form?
