Linux Voice Introduction

Article from Issue 250/2021

This month in Linux Voice.

The content management system (CMS) is an amazing invention. Writers and editors can manage their own websites – without the intervention of a web developer or IT specialist. Your CMS will run smoothly, once you get it all set up, but the setup is often the biggest challenge. You'll need to configure a database, as well as a scripting language, before you even get started with designing the site. And the complexity of the CMS leads to complex security, because an intruder has lots of places to slip in. If you don't have the time to set up and secure a full-blown CMS, a static website generator might be your best option. We explore some leading static website generators in this month's Linux Voice. Also inside: We create a custom Ubuntu image and show you how to set up a virtual private server.
