simple_blog is a basic blogging platform. It is designed to be a straightforward way to publish articles written in Markdown and display them using a renderer written in PHP. There is no login page or any way to manage simple_blog from the web. All management is done via the command line. This can be done with a shell script or with the python based simple_blog_cms.

Requirements

Currently tested with PHP 7.4
Some shell access is necessary.
- The recommend way is via ssh.
- I don't see a technical reason it can't work with a web manager like cPannel or Ajenti as long has you have the ability to upload files and manage files.
