Chowdown.io is a markdown-based CMS that allows you to easily create and manage static websites. If you are running OpenBSD, you can install Chowdown.io using the following steps:
Before you can install Chowdown.io, you need to make sure that your system has the required dependencies. OpenBSD includes Ruby and RubyGems pre-installed, so you don't need to worry about that. However, you need to install Bundler and Node.js.
To install Bundler, enter the following command in your terminal:
$ sudo gem install bundler
To install Node.js, enter the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add node
Next, you need to clone the Chowdown.io repository onto your OpenBSD machine. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
$ git clone https://github.com/chowdown/chowdown.git
After the repository has been cloned, move into the chowdown directory:
$ cd chowdown
Now, you are ready to install Chowdown.io. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
$ bundle install
This will install Chowdown.io and all its dependencies.
Finally, you can start Chowdown.io by running:
$ bundle exec chowdown serve
This will start the Chowdown.io server, and you can access your site at http://localhost:4567 in your web browser.
That's it! You have successfully installed Chowdown.io on OpenBSD. Now, you can create your own static website using Chowdown.io.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
