Here's the repo: https://gitlab.com/medlabboulder/docs

Let me know if there's anything else I should do. But for now it deploys!

Happy to answer any questions until we have better guide/docs for this.

Thanks!

your writing pad for the blog posts is from the code editor vscode in markdown style?

While markdown syntax highlighting is nice, you could do this with any editor. I usually draft my texts in codimd (also hosted on my Cloudron). This makes it easy to add thoughts from multiple devices and share the text with others for review. Vscode comes in last when adding the file to my git repo and to make sure that the included spell checker is happy as well as markdownlint.

may i ask along the lines of using surfer, when we upload the file index.html to the surfer app, then navigating to oursurferdomain.com will show whatever is on that file?

Yes, that is the purpose of Surfer.

Feel free to test it with the demo.cloudron.io instance.

one more question if you don’t mind: your writing pad for the blog posts is from the code editor vscode in markdown style? i’m trying to figure out how this process connects works together. Thank you!

I'd love a step by step how to use mkdocs with Cloudron guide.

Thats actually quite simple. I am using the following script to deploy my blog (built with Hugo, but mkdocs cannot be much different):

#!/bin/sh

hugo && surfer put --token token-provided-by-surfer-app --server blog.9wd.eu public/. /

exit 0

You do not need the lamp app, surfer can directly host the files for you.

I will experiment with a wiki app to see if that will do.

I think this is evidence enough that lots of people like @Enabl-ist (and myself) would find it easier to just install a Cloudron app rather than working trying to out how to actually get mkdocs running (and kept up to date etc) on Cloudron themselves using eg surfer and lamp apps, no?

mkdocs is really just a static docs generator and thus not exactly suitable as a Cloudron app as such. I will mark this as solved since mkdocs generated content already can be served up

But isn't that basically what GitHub Pages is too? And that's an app.

But either way, I'd love a step by step how to use mkdocs with Cloudron guide.

I get that step 1 is to upload files to eg surfer

And I'd guess step 2 may be too create Lamp App are the url one would like mkdocs to be at

And then install mkdocs docs on the Lamp app?

And then? How to tell it to use files on surfer? Etc

Even though the above may be relatively simple, it'd be even simpler if there was an app, no? Could perhaps be set up just like GitHub Pages app with its own repository?

Thanks!

the purpose of mkdocs is to locally create static pages which could be uploaded to your webserver (for example in Cloudron to the Lamp App, the "Surfer" app probably suffices as well). While mkdocs has a built-in server command, according to their docs this is for preview only.
