Overview
Bestatic is a static-site generator made for Linux users.
It helps you turn plain text files into complete websites or blogs without needing to worry about complex setups.
You can install Bestatic using a graphical installer, so you don’t have to deal with dependencies or command-line installs.
This software is designed to be powerful yet simple.
It processes markdown files to create websites that don't need server-side programming or databases.
This means your site is safer and easier to manage because you don’t have to update software constantly or handle security issues.
Bestatic websites can be hosted on any web server or even on free platforms that use Git.
Bestatic includes many useful features built right in.
It supports blogs with customizable post lists, tags, RSS feeds, and comments through Giscus or Disqus.
You also get LaTeX support for formulas, code syntax highlighting, a powerful search feature, and multi-column content layouts that work without extra setup.
The navigation and taxonomies like categories or multiple authors can also be customized easily.
If you want to change how Bestatic works, you can do that with YAML configuration files, command-line options, Jinja2 templates, or markdown plugins.
This makes it flexible and easy to extend without needing advanced coding skills.
Bestatic generates only static files, so it is scalable and low-maintenance.
It’s free and open-source under the GNU GPL-3.0 license, ensuring it will always remain freely available.
