Dropsite

Dropsite creates a site of interlinked file index pages in the Public directory of your Dropbox. Dropsite is designed to be minimally invasive to your Public directory by only creating one top-level HTML page and one folder, leaving your directories unjunked.

BE WARNED: while this seems to work fine, it is presently considered experimental.

Installation

gem install dropsite

Usage

To create the site:

dropsite

This deletes “index.html” and the directory “dropsite” in your Dropbox Public directory if they exist, creates “index.html” as the top-level index, and puts the rest of the index pages and assets in the “dropsite” directory.

To specify a different Dropbox directory:

dropsite --dropbox-home ~/Somewhere/Else

You can also use this if you want to test site generation elsewhere first.

dropsite --help
