Logs for #nikola for 2018-05-29

10:23:23 <jasonbraganza> i have two blogs that are hosted on my linode currently
10:23:54 <jasonbraganza> i’m planning to move one of them to nikola
10:24:17 <jasonbraganza> getting my feet wet so, to speak
10:25:40 <jasonbraganza> is it more advisable to run nikola on my vps, so I can access it from anywhere and get it automatically run via a cron job? or do I run it locally and keep uploading the export?
10:25:54 <jasonbraganza> which means I’m limited to my mac
10:26:36 <jasonbraganza> i’d love to be able to write in batches and schedule posts too.
10:30:29 <jasonbraganza> thank you for your time
10:30:54 <sukil> jasonbraganza: No experience about your first question. About your second point, you can schedule posts
10:31:24 <jasonbraganza> how do you do it sukil? i was just casting about for how it’s generally done
10:33:56 <sukil> jasonbraganza: In conf.py, there is a setting called SCHEDULE_RULE. I don't know the syntax, but a link should have been provided in the handbook
10:34:45 <sukil> jasonbraganza: For example, mine posts every Sunday at 12:00: SCHEDULE_RULE = 'RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=SU;BYHOUR=12;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0'
10:34:47 <jasonbraganza> sukil, sorry to confuse you, but I meant about the first part. do you use nikola on your machine itself and then upload only the exported html?
10:35:16 <jasonbraganza> and thank you for the schedule too. prtty handy, once I get started
10:35:36 <sukil> jasonbraganza: Oh. I can't help you with that, I don't have a server. I use Netlify.
10:35:50 <jasonbraganza> aah. thank you :)
10:57:19 <jasonbraganza> don’t know if I missed anything, but my irc crashed
10:57:22 <jasonbraganza> sorry
11:30:55 <KwBot> [plugins] felipem775 opened issue #277: [ical] crash after installation https://github.com/getnikola/plugins/issues/277
12:39:05 <ChrisWarrick> !tell jasonbraganza I run it locally and deploy when needed, but you can do it on a VPS as well.  I probably wouldn’t use a cron job for a blog.
12:39:05 <KwBot> ChrisWarrick: acknowledged.
12:42:29 <jess_> ChrisWarrick in that case how do scheduled posts work? you do an rsync every day? thank you for helping out a newbie
12:44:36 <ChrisWarrick> jess_: I don’t do scheduled posts
12:44:59 <jess_> cool. thank you :)
