When I first set up my personal blog on Slicehost, I pushed up a "how did I do it" post. I recently got an email telling me that I skipped a step of interest: how did I set up the actual Smalltalk blog server?
Well, I do that somewhat manually, because I'm familiar with the process. However, I created tools for this a long while back, and I just refreshed them this morning. There's still a manual bit of intervention - my tools aren't quite as finished as I'd like. However, it works, so here are the steps:
- Load Silt from the Public Store
- Under Tools, select "Blog Manager"
- Click the "New" button
- Fill in the required fields
- Open the Server console, and define a server on the port you specified in the tool above. Make sure you set the server to start at system setup
- Your blog has been set up
- Save the image
- This image can be used by starting it headless
I should also document how I start the server, since it's a bit different, and structured so that I can do live patching - I'll get to that soon.
