Velican - a pelican blog engine

Velican installs pelican, basic theme and configuration for a blog for given $domain, and a WebDAV endpoint on the URL $domain/content.

It uses default username admin with user provided by the user during installation.

Velican also provides a systemd service that watches for file .publish not to be empty or existing. If the file cease to exist or is truncated then blog regeneration is executed and the log is written into the .publish file.

Logic

Installation creates three directories with diefferent purpose

• /var/www/{APP_ID} is www-data readable, has sticky g-bit and initially empty
• /home/yunohost.app/{APP_ID} contains pelican's theme and config files, owner is APP_ID user
• /home/yunohost.app/{APP_ID}/content is www-data writable and WebDAV points there

Once /home/yunohost.app/{APP_ID}/content/.publish is removed or emptied then regenerate the blog and point output to /var/www/{APP_ID}.
