With the upgrade to version 0.23, the #Zola static site generator broke most sites with its move from v.1 to v.2 of the Tera templating engine.

Right now there are only 10 themes listed at https://getzola.org/themes. Those are the only ones that work with 0.23. (There were 128 themes on the site on July 1, according to the Wayback Machine.)

tl;dr Just use an old Zola binary on your existing site.

Been working on the layout of my experimental static site, using garish colours to make things a bit more obvious before I start going for text/colour design. Got the sidebars to be sticky.

Just learned about synced pattern overrides in WordPress which may have put a bit of a dent in my Zola journey, lol.

#zola #wordpress #ssg

Ran into one annoying snag with Zola/Tera. If you use components, and then you want to use heading IDs, because heading IDs have similar syntax to Tera template comments, your pages result in errors. You either need to escape the curly bracket/hash symbol, or wrap the heading in a raw Tera block. Neither of which is particularly ergonomic.

IMO, headings should just be treated as raw to Tera.

#zola #ssg

Finally made my first Zola (er, Tera) component! Nothing fancy, just a paragraph with its own styling.

I do have to change my mentality a bit, since I'm going from WYSIWYG (e.g. WordPress) to Markdown with Tera components. I found myself fighting Gutenberg a bit when I wanted to do custom/weird things, hence why I'm basically giving actual HTML/CSS a go.

I was fighting a bit with components as well, for whatever reason it kept rendering the body of my component separate from the actual component HTML. I cannot tell you what fixed it, but I fixed it.

My only worry atm is that the components still give me a bit of trauma from dealing with MDX where I had to import an image just to get it to render in React components. Even if I get over that I doubt I'll be using Astro, even Zola rn with its awkward migration period seems to be alright. I do wonder why the dev considers shortcodes to be broken, though.

#zola #ssg #html

I guess I'm actually in a better position with Zola since I'm coming into it pretty much fresh while everyone who used Zola in the past are now having to patch their stuff or use an older version of Zola.

I actually did run into this issue when trying to mess with the Serene theme and I was considering using Hugo instead, but as a C# guy Tera (the templating system in Zola) seems better for me atm.

#Zola

Oh yeah, I gave Zola a go yesterday. Very simple at the moment, I literally did the overview, lol. But it seems to be good to learn alongside HTML/CSS. My only gripe at the very moment is the removal of shortcodes, the comparison to JSX gave me negative flashbacks dealing with Astro and JSX/MDX. I don't think I would ever pick Astro, or Eleventy for that matter, nowadays. I just don't think the JavaScript ecosystem is for me at all.

I also gave Zed a go with this, and I honestly really like Zed? It's like Visual Studio Code but much less busier which is good for my ADHD. With macOS' split-screen full screen paradigm I locked the fuck in with Zed.

I wanted to test Zola and mess with it because it looked cool but unfortunately this new version basically just went and broke everything. 🫠

We are exploring @statichost, an elegant solution for hosting static websites in the EU.

First of all, registering an account on statichost is exceptionally fast and simple. Given that the web has turned into a giant mall, full of trackers, heavy websites, annoying pop-ups and banners, etc., having to simply enter an email address on a lightweight website to create an account feels really good.

Then, to add a website, you specify the Git repository comprising its source code, and how to build the pages. statichost relies on containers for the build jobs. Template configurations are available for building websites made with well-known static CMS (e.g., Zola, Hugo, Jekyll), but any OCI/Docker image can be used. You can even publish directly the content of a Git branch, which is the option we opted for. This way, we can keep our current CI/CD pipeline without major changes. We only added a final step to our pipeline to trigger the publication process on statichost via a webhook.

We encourage you explore EU-based and user-respecting solutions such as statichost when it comes to your IT infrastructure. Our engineers are here to assist you if needed.

#Homebrew for #Zola in Linux, and (not) updating this blog for Zola 0.23

https://zola.passthejoe.net/blog/zola-homebrew/

After looking into a few themes, even the "active" ones are having issues with #zola 0.23. I tested my site with the Hook theme, and it builds with Zola 0.22 (I have been using 0.19).

0.22 is slower than 0.19, but we're talking tenths of a second for a blog that builds in under 1 second.

So I have 0.19 and 0.22 binaries in my build directory, and I'm going to stick with the current theme.

There are many breaking changes in 0.23 ...

Vincent Prouillet released #Zola version 0.23.3. https://www.getzola.org/

With static site generators, it pays to use a theme that's actively maintained (and to keep your site updated).

I've never been terribly religious about theme updates in #Hugo and #Zola, but I'm starting to (reluctantly) believe.

I'm going to start a new #Zola blog. My current theme (https://www.getzola.org/themes/hook/) will require too much hacking to work with version 0.23.

Time to start with a new theme. Unless Zola is broken for everybody and nobody bothered to mention it, this is the way forward for me. https://www.getzola.org/

En fin de semaine, j'ai appris que #Zola avait écrit à propos du #vélo.

> «J'aime la #bicyclette pour cet oubli qu'elle donne, écrivait-il. J'ai beau marcher, je pense. À bicyclette, je vis dans le vent, je ne pense plus.»

Difficile de ne pas être d'accord avec cela. 🩶

Bonne journée de travail : mon site est en ligne.

Moteur Zola (générateur statique, écrit en Rust), thème Apollo. Le contenu
existait déjà pour l'essentiel, restait à le mettre en forme.

Zola sert le site en local pendant qu'on écrit : les modifications s'affichent
en direct. Le contenu tient dans des fichiers Markdown, l'habillage dans un CSS
qui recouvre celui du thème.

Puis le domaine dans Caddy, un dossier dans /var/www, un rechargement, un rsync
depuis mon poste. Et c'est fini.
