Cha-Cuit!

Is a cooking website capable of interacting with other instances via the ActivityPub protocol.

Build instructions

Dependencies

This website is composed of a static front-end made with hugo and an ActivityPub server (located in /chactivity).

Then, you will need NGINX and certbot (or any other application that can generated certificates for your website).

Finally, for the Blist theme, you will need postcss (npm install postcss-cli).

Configuring the instance

For the backend cf chactivityserver. For the front-end, you can edit config.toml

Hugo supports multiple themes and images can be modified in /static.

Updating website

On the main instance, I only use a cronjob updating the website every 3 hours: 1 */3 * * * cd /var/www/Cha-Cuit && git pull && git submodule update --init && hugo

Writing recipes

Recipes are stored in a markdown file (cf content/recettes).

Images linked to the articles are in /static/img/recipe-name.

The recommended template is:

---
title: Name of the Recipe
date: 2023-01-01
tags: ["sugar", "chocolate"]
duration: 1h30
thumbnail: "/img/recipe/recipe.jpg"
---

# Ingredients

# Equipment

||

# Preparation

# Notes

|| is used as a column separator. This allow the website to display the recipe on two columns.
