Notes on Algernon

Algernon is a webserver.

Using Lua Local Require

From the comments:

-- loadscriptdir.lua
local r = require
local pp = package.path
require = function(m)
    package.path = scriptdir() .. "/?.lua;" .. pp
    return r(m)
end
 
-- serverconf.lua
OnReady(function()
    require("loadscriptdir")
end)

TODO: I have to figure out if this works for loading .so files also.

Frictionless workflow to use algernon powered website

• unless I want to compile a page and publish it, I don’t need to run: make full.
• run make easy as a cronjob on the server and have it publish to the www every 15 minutes
• run make full as a cronjob on the server and have it publish to the www every hour
