Satya Benson e0f675fc20 Version the stylesheet URL so CSS changes reach browsers 
style.css is served without cache headers, so browsers cached it heuristically for weeks (10% of its age) and kept the old copy after the long-link fix. Pages now link it as style.css?v=<mtime>, which changes whenever the file does.

microblog

A small single-author microblog ("Pauper") in Go. Posts are Markdown files in content/, with optional attached images in content/files/. The author logs in with a password to write, edit, pin and delete posts; readers get the post list, single-post pages, search and an RSS feed. Everything is served under /r on port 6001.

Running

cp config.example.json config.json   # then edit it
go build -o microblog .
./microblog

config.json (not tracked) holds:

  • password_hash: SHA-256 (hex) of the login password, e.g. printf '%s' 'your password' | sha256sum
  • api_key_hash: optional SHA-256 (hex) of a separate key for POST /r/api/post (header X-API-Key); when empty, the login password is accepted
  • session_secret: a long random string that signs login cookies, e.g. openssl rand -hex 32; changing it signs every browser out
  • posts_per_page, blog_url (used in the RSS feed), blog_title, blog_description

Logins are signed cookies that last 400 days and renew while you use them, so you stay signed in until you log out; restarts don't affect them. Without session_secret, a random one is made at startup and restarts sign you out.
