   So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.

   It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.

   One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

     @freemo I only saw this now.

     Going to try this on my #Hugo / #GoHugo sites. ^_^ (Though I'm using CFPages, so I might have to find another way.)

     @paul I found it to be a arelatively simple static site engine overall. But it does take some time to learn the language. If there is something in particular that confuses you just let me know.

     And here I am trying to figure out the easiest way to flush my server's block list without destroying the server's database...

     I could do it via SQL query, but I'm not certain that's ALL that the server software needs done...

     Been messed up before like that... Cleared the addresses, but there were other references and that software never worked the same. Ended up wiping and starting over.

     It'd be nice if we had clear documentation for using the cli and scripting it... I just haven't found it yet.

     @admin Sorry didnt realize this post was on my Fedipage post when I first responded.

     Fedipage doesnt really institute server block lists yet. But it would be an easy addition to keep certain servers out of the comments.

     @paul

     I moved over from middleman static site generator. The pages moved over without a hitch for me. Any markdown based source should be relatively easy to convert.

     Keep in mind Hugo wont give you fediverse/activityPub access on its own. Its just another (nice) static site generator. The ability to integrate with the fediverse is entirely a fedipage thing.

     @freemo I am doing this as a new project without fedipage.
     
     First I want to get a bit of a feel for it. If it's easy enough, I may examine if there is a way to import my various existing (static site) sites into Hugo, through some converter or so. Those have hundreds of articles and pages, so I'm not typing them in again 😉
     
     Also I'm not going to put a lot of time into it every day. My workdays are long enough. 😉

     @paul Going from raw html will be more difficult.

     You might need some additional effort.

     When you write your journal entries then you are writing them in raw HTML? If not what markup language do you write your articles in?

     @freemo My sites are in a SQLite database, created by Publii, which creates clean HTML when I output the site. Nothing markdown about it.
     This does not sound like an easy transfer, then. Thank you for the information.
     I'm not focussing on the Fedipage part for anything at the moment. If I can't make Hugo work for me 'as is' (including importing my existing sites), then that route is not happening.
     It might be interesting for a new site I could set up. But that's not in the books yet.

     @paul Ohhh its a wysiwig... yea sadly unless you can find a way to convert it you may be in for some trouble. Personally this is why i dont use blogging tools that dont use open standard formats like markdown to begin with.

     Hugo does support html markup but you'd likely have to heavily edit that format since it would have to be an html fragment without all the header and styling stuff.

     2 questions please:

     1❓Do you know anyone willing to set up a website to do this (for money or not setup basically a Hugo static site + Fedi interaction while being privacy-minded / reduce using google type stuff / building it with less wanting it for mass-scraping so easily).

     2 ❓Did you manage to replicate / get your own static site going with Fedi stuff added?
