Saft

Saft is an unobtrusive tool for rapid publishing; drop a file: Voilà!
It transforms image, video and plain text files into Web documents without the use of a database. The static nature of Saft combined with a sly caching makes it super fast and very secure. See the project page for more information.

If you prefer to manage your content using a Web browser rather than through the file system, then check out Maat. It is an extension for Saft and is built for that purpose.

Installation

Saft requires a web server running a Unix-like operating system, Apache 2 with mod_rewrite enabled and htaccess file support, and PHP 5.3 or higher with JSON, MBSTRING and POSIX extensions installed.

1. Configure the files /app/saft/app.php and /htaccess. Instructions on configuration are found inside those.
2. Replace “domain.tld” with the corresponding domain name in /robots.txt.
3. Move all directories and files to beloved server space. Thereby it does not matter if this is the domain root, a subdomain or a subdirectory.
4. Create at least one content pot, which act as bin where to drop content files. Therefore, navigate to directory /pot and create as many subdirectories as liked in there. Only use names without special characters and spaces.
5. Rename htaccess to .htaccess and make sure that the file permissions of all items are set properly. Once the site is successfully deployed, turn off the debug mode and enable the built-in caching, if not already done so.
