beleyBlog VS fpm

How does having the "BSD Zero Clause" with your content work? I open sourced my blog's software, but I still keep all the actual content in a separate private repo, since I don't want my written content distributed under the same license. Also works out well, since I have the github action automation in the private content repo.

I can still easily change the private flag down the road if I were to decommission it (though, unlikely -- I'd just archive it somewhere).

I'm also using Gatsby if anyone is curious (https://github.com/cbeley/beleyblog & https://chrisbeley.com).

If you ever revisit that decision, check out FPM. It can shave off a few of the rough edges related to packaging: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

The easiest way is probably FPM: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

There is definitely a lot more to building a proper package for wider distribution, but there are some great tools out there for folks wanting to get into it that make it more approachable. I've done my fair share with fpm when learning how the proverbial sausage is made.

I use RedHat based environments for work. I've had good success creating my own yum repo and building RPM packages with Effing package management. FPM can handle packages for most distros so if you want to publish a linux app it is an easy way to provide it in multiple formats.
