# Gardening

This project aims to create digital gardens, a concept where you can cultivate and organize knowledge in a more organic and interconnected way. The system processes markdown files to generate a static HTML website, which can then be served locally for viewing. Additionally, the project supports data compression to optimize storage.

### Prerequisites

    Python 3.x installed on your machine.

### Steps to Run the Project

Clone the Repository:

    git clone https://git.xpub.nl/poni/gardening.git
    cd gardening

Create a Virtual Environment:

    python3 -m venv .

Activate the Virtual Environment:

* On Windows:

        .\Scripts\activate

* On macOS and Linux:

        source bin/activate

Install Dependencies:

    pip3 install -r dependencies.txt



## Generate the HTML File

* Add files you want to show in the digital garden to  'website/content/garden/'
* Edit the header and the footer markdown files in  'website/content/misc/'
* Edit, if you want, the config.json file to edit the name of the garden and the colors of the website.

Then launch:

    python3 app.py

This script reads the 'website/content/garden/' contents, compress media, converts it to HTML, applies styles, and integrates it into a complete HTML structure.


Test it running un a Local Server:

    cd website

    python3 -m http.server

Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000 to view your digital garden.

## PUT IT ONLINE!

Just add the whole 'website/' folder in your server.

### Further

If you delete some or upload new files from the garden folder, re-run the code and it will update itself.

If you want to embed a video or a track from other websites, just copy the embedding options from there and paste it in a .txt file inside the garden folder.

This is hyper-beta. Suggestions are really welcomed!
