[[!meta title="We are the static site generation!"]]
# Current practice
Currently [ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info) is adopted by the following reasons:
1. There is a [Debian package](https://packages.debian.org/stable/ikiwiki).
2. It's flexible enough to support both local or remote side static compilation:
* Local compilation by calling the `ikiwiki` command directly.
* Remotelly by using a [git hook](http://ikiwiki.info/rcs/git/).
When it's said **both** it means that you don't need to choose either of the two options: you can choose or both simultaneously.
## Static site example
Here comes the mandadoty "Hello world" example from the statically generated site realm:
mkdir blog && cd blog
echo "Hello world..." > index.mdwn
ikiwiki --rebuild --exclude www . www
That's it! You have a generated site sitting at your `www` subfolder which can be copied remotelly using `rsync`.
## Version control
It's a good pratice to keep your work under version control:
git init
echo "/.ikiwiki" > .gitignore
echo "/recentchanges" >> .gitignore
echo "/www" >> .gitignore
git add .
git commit -m "Initial import"
## Add a bit of sofistication
* Use [this Makefile](/Makefile) as an starting point to refresh and publish your wiki by simply running `make web`.
* Use a [complete ikiwiki template](https://git.fluxo.info/?p=templates.git;a=tree;f=ikiwiki;h=HEAD) and change to your needs.
* If you're a automation junkie, try the [puppet-ikiwiki](https://git.fluxo.info/puppet-ikiwiki.git) module.
## Theming
Currently using [Ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info) with [Bootstrap](http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/):
* [Templates](https://github.com/tgpfeiffer/ikiwiki-bootstrap-template).
* [Bootswatch](http://bootswatch.com) themes.
## Deployment
You can create passwordless SSH keys and use [rrsync](http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2014/01/14/restricting-ssh-access-to-rsync/) ([2](http://wiki.hands.com/howto/passphraseless-ssh/)) to restrict access. Then add an entry into your `~/.ssh/config`:
Host blog.example.org blog
HostName blog.example.org
User blog
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/blog@blog.example.org
Now simply run `make web_deploy` with the above mentioned `Makefile` do sync your static site!
