README

Pluma is a static‑site generator that converts Markdown files into a fully‑static HTML website.

It ships with a built‑in web editor, auto‑save, RSS feed generation, customizable templates, and a live preview during development.

Features

• Markdown editor with autosave
• RSS feed creation
• Fully customizable HTML templates
• Live preview while you write

Requirements

• PHP 8.4 or newer

Installation

Install Pluma globally via Composer:

composer global require nuzkito/pluma

Make sure the Composer global vendor/bin directory is in your system’s PATH, so you can run the pluma command from any terminal.

Getting started

Create a new site

Navigate to an empty directory and run:

pluma new

This scaffolds a fresh project, creating directories for content, templates, assets, etc., along with example files.

Build the site

Once the scaffold is in place, generate the static website:

pluma generate

The output will be placed in a site/ folder.

You can run this command as part of your CI/CD pipeline to build and deploy the site automatically.

Development server & editor

To edit pages via the web interface, start the local development server:

pluma serve

By default, urls are:

• Editor UI: http://localhost:8000
• Site preview: http://localhost:8001

You can config urls and ports in config.php file.

Any changes you make to pages with the editor are automatically rebuilt and reflected in the preview.
