## Obsidian SSG Blog [](https://pypi.org/project/obsidian-blog "PyPI")
**DISCLAIMER: Still work-in-progress, so API definitely will change. To use it you'd better to have some programming experience**
The idea is to create a simple blog generated from obsidian [Map Of Content][moc]
notes [original zettelkasten benefit][zettelkasten].
### Features
- Yet another static site generator for obsidian.
- Built to use with git, github pages and action.
- Uses handlebars template engine
- Supports `--watch` and `--serve` modes for local writing
- Recursively parses [[includes]] and has cycles detection
- Automatically copies included local images into the build
- Supports `--drafts` mode to work unpublished files locally
- Privacy. Notes can be published only with explicit `published: True` annotation.
- Fluent title detection from [[note | alt title]], frontmatter `title` attribute, or a filename.
- Render notes as links, in case they're included in the middle of the paragraph and have `link` frontmatter attribute.
- Supports filename delimeters: `Topic - Category - Note` becomes just `Note`
### Installation
```
pip install obsidian-blog
```
### Usage
```
$ obsidian-blog -h
obsidian-blog
Static site generator for obsidian.md notes.
Usage:
obsidian-blog [-d] [-w] [-s] [--port ] [--title ] [--posts_dir ] [--pages_dir ]
Options:
-h --help Show this screen.
-w --watch Enable watcher
-s --serve Enable web-server
-p --port= Web-server port [default: 4200]
-d --drafts Render draft pages and posts
--title= Blog title [default: My Blog]
--version Show version.
```
### Example
See [Obsidian Blog Theme][obsidian-blog-theme]
### Env
`obsidian-blog` expects you have an `.env` file. Supported variables and their default values can be found
in `src/dataclasses/config_data`.
### Blog files
```
notes ❯ tree .blog -a -I .git
├── .blog
│ ├── _assets # static files to be copied into .build
│ │ └── styles.css
│ └── _layouts # layout files
│ └── main.hbs # name of layout, can be selected with `layout` frontmatter attribute. Default: `main`
├── .build # build directory created by run `obsidian-blog` to be deployed
├── .env # environment variables
├── Pages # Pages directory, contains handlebars and markdown files
└── Posts # Posts directory contains obsidian markdown files (which are anyway processed via handlebars)
```
### Posts
Posts are obsidian markdown files with includes, images, and anything you usually have in your obsidian notes.
Posts are post-processed by handlebars, so you can use it if you need (but not sure if it's a good idea tho).
```
---
title: My awesome post
date: 2021-01-01 (used for sorting)
published: True # privacy, can't be skipped
layout: main (default_layout is used if it skipped)
---
```
### Pages
Pages are handlebars templates (or just markdown files), rendered via global (`pages` and `posts` lists) and local (`self` points
to the entity being rendered) contexts.
### Assets
Assets are divided into 2 types:
- `.blog/_assets` copyed during the build unconditionally
- Images insluded either with markdown reference or incline images, or by obsidian ![[]] syntax. This ones are detected and copyed during the build.
### Deployment
So far I'm using github actions to deploy my stuff to [my blog][my-blog].
### Alternatives
- [Obsidian Export][obsidian-export] - cli to render obsidian notes into markdown written in Rust
