The source files of my blog/personal webstie.

Contents of this repository

This repository includes all (currently published) content of my personal website/blog and the tools I use to write and publish it (including a DokuWiki instance).

The tools I use to publish

The site's back-end is written in PHP. I use some PHP libraries:

• Parsedown - This is used to render the markdown content of the blog posts and projects description.
• Symfony routing component - This is used for routing and rich URLs. Symfony's yaml, config, and http-foundation components are also used for this end.

Front-end dependencies:

• Skeleton CSS - This is used as the basis of the site's CSS.
• Prism.js - This is used for code blocks syntax highlighting (Okaidia theme).
• Remark - This is used for the workshop's slideshow presentations.

The website is deployed using a Docker container based on an Alpine Linux image. Three processes run on this container: nginx (HTTP server), php-fpm (use PHP on nginx), and tor (Onion service for the website).
In order to have these two processes run in the manner I want, I use s6-overlay (init scripts and process supervisor).

The website uses a SQLite database.

SSL certificates

The SSL certificates are issued by Let's Encrypt.

I used to use certbot to issue/renew certificates, but it had poor integration with my DNS provider, so I started using acme.sh. This way, I can renew my certificates automatically by using my DNS provider's API.

Cool resources

• Example HTML boilerplate.
• Example usage of Symfony's routing component.
• HTTPS on local dev env.
• Semantic HTML.
• Set up your Onion service.

TODO

• Emoji domain - Self explanatory.
• Showdown - Markdown render for when I'm writing.
• File hosting in PHP - Could be useful.
• Sqlite pagination - Blog post index pagination.
