Example Configuration

(use-modules (haunt site)
             (haunt reader)
             (haunt builder blog)
             (haunt builder atom)
             (haunt builder assets))

(site #:title "Built with Guile"
      #:domain "example.com"
      #:default-metadata
      '((author . "Eva Luator")
        (email  . "eva@example.com"))
      #:readers (list sxml-reader html-reader)
      #:builders (list (blog)
                       (atom-feed)
                       (atom-feeds-by-tag)
                       (static-directory "images"))

Usage

Write a configuration file named haunt.scm. Add your posts to a directory named posts. Then run haunt build!

To view your creation, run haunt serve and browse to localhost:8080.

Requirements

GNU Guile >= 2.0.11

Building from Git

Haunt uses the familiar GNU build system. GNU automake, autoconf, and make are required to build from a git checkout.

./bootstrap && ./configure && make

Once Haunt is built, it can be run directly from the source tree (no need to run make install) via the pre-inst-env script:

./pre-inst-env haunt --help

GNU Guix users can create a build environment with all necessary dependencies using the handy guix environment tool:

guix environment -l package.scm

Examples

An example Haunt site can be found in the example directory:

cd example
../pre-inst-env haunt build
