# Deployment

Since hablo generates static blogs, deployment is a fairly easy step. The only detail to pay attention to is the handling of dependencies.

We show here a simple local deployment of your blog assuming you use NGinx but this is fairly easy to transpose to your favourite web server. First let's create an NGinx configuration file for your blog. Let's put the following basic configuration

```nginx
server {
	server_name blog.turtles.social;
	listen 80;

	root "/path/to/Turtles paradize";
}
```

into `/etc/nginx/sites_available/turtles.conf`. Of course, the `server_name` used here is purely an exemple assuming you bought a domain name for your blog and you pointed it to the very host you're working on. This is in practice highly unlikely; I could've suggested `localhost` instead of `blog.turtles.social` but you may have other local virtual hosts configured, I can't know your particular setup. You may have simply added an alias like `turtles.local` in your `/etc/hosts` to bypass all DNS resolution. If you have no idea what I'm saying and this is the first time you've configured a virtual host in NGinx, just use `localhost`.

Enable the site

```bash
sudo ln -s ../sites_available/turtles.conf /etc/nginx/sites_enabled
```

and now reload the nginx server.

```bash
sudo nginx -s reload
```

Now let's install the dependencies.

## UnitJS

Hablo requires [UnitJS](https://git.marvid.fr/Tissevert/UnitJS) which is handled by [SJW](https://git.marvid.fr/Tissevert/SJW). Make sure you have installed it regularly with `SJW`. If it isn't yet, the following commands should help you:

```bash
cd /tmp
git clone https://git.marvid.fr/Tissevert/UnitJS.git
cd UnitJS
mkdir -p ~/.sjw
cp -r src/ ~/.sjw/unitJS
```

## Remarkable

The markdown is converted to HTML in the client browser with the JS library [remarkable](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable).

We can simply download it in your `js` directory.

```bash
wget 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/remarkable/1.7.1/remarkable.min.js' -O js/remarkable.min.js
```

That's it ! Your blog should now be displayed when you point your web browser to `http://blog.turtles.social` (or `http://turtles.local` or `http://localhost` depending on what you put in your web server's configuration for `server_name`). You might now want to read about [tuning it](https://git.marvid.fr/Tissevert/hablo/wiki/Customizing%20your%20blog) to your taste.
