looks like jekyll, or jinja

Very nice! I wonder what took so long for something like this. With DodgerCMS anyone can have a website for pennies per month. Thanks!

Or free, if it was ported to Neocities: https://neocities.org

The S3 stuff looks pretty integrated with the main code though, might be tough to abstract it out.

Nonetheless, this is a great app. I've been pondering making something like this for a while.

I disagree. `Anyone' has it much easier with Google sites.

Fastidious2• 11 years ago

Not as good looking though. But it is true it might be easier.

This looks great, and I was just starting to look into something like this...Does the editor/web-UI run locally, or in AWS?

abeiz3• 11 years ago

The editor can run locally or in S3.

Is there some kind of demo somewhere ?

abeiz3• 11 years ago

The documentation is the demo: http://dodgercms.com

I hate to be that guy, but why do i have to use amazon? Why can't i compile this locally and push it up to github and just host in there, if its a static site?

You don't have to use Amazon, you can use one of the other 800 non-amazon specific static site generators that exist instead of this one. The fact that a tool doesn't accomplish the particular workflow that you would like doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

I dont think meesterdude was implying DodgerCMS shouldn't exist. And I think the question of if it could support GH Pages is not a bad one, in fact I would rather host for free on GH than Amazon as well.

I've thought about doing something like this for a while, I'm so glad to see this exist.

Kudos to you for open-sourcing. You also write great code that's well-commented.

Can anyone get this working?

I'm just getting an 'Access Denied. Please make sure the user attached to the access key has access to [bucket]' error when running local.html from local or the bucket.

abeiz3• 11 years ago

This means the IAM user you created does not have the correct permissions to access the buckets you listed on the login page. This could be because of a typo somewhere in the policies, or maybe you entered the names of the buckets incorrectly on the form?

Thanks for the reply - I use static sites on S3 a lot, so pretty confident of the setup. I've also replaced the installation ones with my usual policies (slightly different) and getting the same error. Anything else I can try?
