A Micropub server written in Go, primarily designed for static sites.
gozette was designed with static sites in mind (specifically sites generated
using Hugo). However, in principle gozette can be extended to other static
site generators. gozette can be run using AWS Lambda serverless functions.
This is still in alpha, but I am dogfooding gozette on my own site at
colelyman.com.
A Micropub server accepts requests from Micropub clients that allow you to
publish posts (and other types of content such as likes or reposts). When
gozette receives a Micropub request, it first authenticates via IndieAuth,
then if the user making the request is authorized a new file will be created and
committed to the website’s repository. Once this commit is pushed to the
repository, a new build is triggered and the new Micropub post is published.
This setup requires that the following environment variables are set:
- REPOSITORY_URL
- the repository where the site resides, e.g.
Colelyman/colelyman-hugo(this assumes that the repository is on Github) - BRANCH
- this is the branch of the site’s repository that should be
updated, e.g.
heads/master - GIT_API_TOKEN
- a token generated to allow push access to the Github repository, generate one here
I have colelyman.com (source: Colelyman/colelyman-hugo) hosted on Netlify and
gozette is running as an AWS Lambda function via Netlify.
