# A DietPi Build Server

## Create, Edit and Upload a Website to Neocities.org

### Using Python, virtual environments, pip, mkdocs, Markdown and curl

Creating and editing a website using Neocities' online HTML 
editing tool is tiresome. There is hope! By using a few FOSS 
tools you can create a website offline and when ready upload it 
to Neocities. In programming parlance this is called creating a 
"toolchain". This toolchain is somewhat unique in that I put 
together my toolchain on a DietPi and I use the DietPi as a 
"build" server. When ready I then upload the website to the web 
host (Neocities). The toolchain uses terminal tools such as 
Python, mkdocs, nano and Markdown.  Using this toolchain it is 
straight-forward to build a "static" website. By adding 
Javascript to your webpages you can make interactive pages.
