writefreely to gemini

This is a quickly hacked PHP script that will get the latests posts in your sqlite database and create .md and .gmi files to serves as a gemini protocol file. It uses gemgen command line for the markdown to gemtext translation.

This was created for https://lacra.ia.br/

This just select the date of the most recently updated post. If it is more recent than a stamp file it updates everything. Not an issue for a few hundred posts but this might need optimisation in the future if this ever gets used on a larger scale to only update changed posts.

Usage

Edit config.php and put something like this in your cron tab

5 * * * * cd /home/lacraia/writefreely_to_gemini && php -f update_gmi_content.php > /home/lacraia/logs/gmi_update.log 2>&1
