ecto1's Introduction

ecto1

A downloader/scraper/static-site-maker for Ghost blogs

Why?

Because I wanted a way to have a nice, modern WYSIWYG blog editing experience combined with the speed and security of a static website. (And I wanted to keep the Ghost themes intact instead of re-implementing them in a static site generator - so the Content API is not used.)

How do I use it?

With Python 3 and environment variables.

Here's the help text from the script:

ecto1.py: the Ghost blog downloader/scraper/static-site-maker
See https://github.com/arktronic/ecto1 for license info, etc.

Usage is all based on setting environment variables:
ECTO1_SOURCE=http://internal-url.example.net ECTO1_TARGET=https://public-url.example.com python3 etco1.py

If the Ghost site is in private mode, specify the password and the private RSS link:
ECTO1_PRIVATE_PASSWORD=abcd1234 ECTO1_PRIVATE_RSS_URL=http://internal-url.example.net/acbacbacbacbabcbabcbacabb/rss ...

If the Ghost site is behind a pre-authentication gateway, specify its POST URL and Base64-encoded POST data:
ECTO1_PRE_AUTH_URL=http://authentication.example.net/login ECTO1_PRE_AUTH_POST_DATA="dXNlcm5hbWU9aGVsbG8mcGFzc3dvcmQ9d29ybGQ=" ...

IMPORTANT: It is assumed that you own the rights to the Ghost site being downloaded. No throttling is implemented.

Don't forget to run pip install -r requirements.txt first.

Missing fonts warning when generating local static site of ghost blog

Hi Sasha,
I was able to successfully generate the static site of my ghost blog here - https://github.com/QubitQuants/qubitquants.github.io

But I encounter some font missing warnings, using dawn ghost theme, how do I deal with this:

(base) dilip.rajkumar@diliprajkumar-MacBook-Pro QQblog % python3 ecto1.py

NOT AN ISSUE - Thanks

Sasha, just wanted to say thanks!

I wasted a lot of time trying to find a simple smooth and effective method to convert a Ghost instance running locally to static pages. However, without all that searching and frustration, I would not have found your little gem!

Since I am running on Windows, the Environment Variables were set in the UI.
I already had python installed and once your repo was cloned, it took me less than 5 min to have my local ghost served through Cloudflare pages.

Thanks a lot man!

How to use `ecto1` package to publish ghost blog to github pages

Hello Ark,
I am trying to push a static version of my ghost blog to GitHub pages and I came across your ecto1 repo which says it can do static site generation. I did ghost install local and setup my ghost blog on my local Mac computer. How do I push the static version of this ghost blog from my Mac to Github pages (repo) using ecto1 ?

Most blogs only write about ghost static site generation using a packaged called buster running on python2.7 which is deprecated. Could you kindly share any tutorial or documentation to achieve this using ecto1?

Best Regards,
Dilip
