Offline version of a smolweb site

So easy to make an offline version of a blog when it respects #smolweb recommendations.

I've built a #zim file of my web site with two command lines. wget and zimwriterfs (provided with zim-tools package) are easy to use. And it can be viewed by all zim readers such as the very good @kiwix software.

Mirror the site with wget

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites 
--no-parent https://adele.pages.casa/

or for short

wget -mkEpnp https://adele.pages.casa/

Create the zim file with zimwriterfs

zimwriterfs --welcome=md/index.html --illustration=md/adele24.png --language=eng --title=Adële --name=Adële --description="Adële's smolwebsite" --longDescription="A blog about smolweb, lowtech anre more..." --creator="Adële" --publisher=ZimTools ./adele.pages.casa/ adele.zim

You can open the zim file with kiwix-desktop or serve it on a local web server with kiwix-server.

Result can be view on my personal kiwix instance
