Nesta - a CMS for Ruby Developers
A CMS for small web sites and blogs, written in Sinatra.
Content can be written in Markdown or Textile and
stored in text files (though you can also use Haml if you need to add
some HTML to your pages). There's no database; write your content in
your editor. Publish by pushing to a git repository.
Installation
Begin by installing the gem:
$ gem install nesta
Then use the nesta
command to generate a new site:
$ nesta new mysite.com --git
Install a few dependencies, and you're away:
$ cd mysite.com
$ bundle
You'll find basic configuration options for your site in
config/config.yml
. The defaults will work, but you'll want to tweak it
before you go very far.
That's it - you can launch a local web server in development mode using
shotgun...
$ bundle exec shotgun config.ru
...then point your web browser at http://localhost:9393. Start editing
the files in content/pages
(see the Writing content docs
for full instructions).
