Kukkaisvoima is a blog software that is light in weight and available under the GNU GPL version 2 license.
The system's motivation is to provide a simple way of creating a weblog using Python. Key features of Kukkaisvoima include multiple categories for one entry, and there is no need for external dependencies outside Python's standard library. Other features include comments and an RSS feed for both all entries and every category.
To install the system, download the latest version of Kukkaisvoima and move the package to your web directory. After doing so, follow these steps:
- tar xvfz kukkaisvoima-(versionnumber).tar.gz
- cd kukkaisvoima-(versionnumber)
- chmod +x index.cgi
- mkdir temp
However, you may need to modify the index.cgi script suffix by changing ".cgi" to ".py" or use different permissions for the index.cgi script or temp directory. Always ensure that the temp directory is writable by the script.
To configure and use Kukkaisvoima, edit the Config variables found in the kukkaisvoima_settings.py file. Once done, write blog entries as HTML-formatted text files in the directory specified in the config file. Kukkaisvoima will then generate the blog from the entries, and each entry must be in the format:
- nameoftheantry:YYYY-MM-DD:category1,category2.txt
For instance, an entry can have multiple categories separated by a comma.
Version 8 of Kukkaisvoima introduced a search system that had some minor flaws while searching for text in entries with broken HTML. However, this latest version fixed the search feature in such cases.
Overall, Kukkaisvoima is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a straightforward and straightforward weblog system.
