Volcano 🌋

A micro flat-file blog and website constructor.

Features

• No database
• Fast
• Easy to use
• You write your content in beautiful Markdown
• Great with custom designs

Requirements

• PHP 8.0.0 or higher
• Support for mod_rewrite (how to set up)

Getting Started

cd ~/path/to/project

composer require sebastianks/volcano

# IMPORTANT
# Copy a slim starter template bundled with Volcano.
cp -r vendor/sebastianks/volcano/setup/* .

Volcano will now serve your app from /site/theme/index.php which at it's lightest can be as slim as:

<?php

# Get our App instance
$app = require __DIR__ . '/../../app.php';

# This is where the magic happens 🧙‍♂️
echo $app->render();

That is Volcano at it's barebones. A more realistic real-life example can be found in the Wiki.
