BurzBlog
Write blog posts in the browser or in your own editor. One small Go binary, one SQLite file, any website.
BurzBlog is where blog posts get written. It's a single Go binary with the admin panel built in, backed by one SQLite file. Your website (Nuxt, Astro, Next or anything else) reads the posts and stays static and fast, even when BurzBlog is down.
Why it exists
Most CMSes want to be your website too. We only wanted somewhere to write, version and publish posts, with no runtime to babysit.
- A writing tool, not a website builder. Sites pull posts from a read-only content API or from exported Markdown at build time.
- Tiny. About 25 MB of memory at rest. It runs on a Raspberry Pi, and dozens of instances fit on one small server.
- Your editor or ours. Use the split Markdown editor in the browser, or run
burzblog edit my-postto open the post in$EDITOR. Both talk to the same server. - Nothing gets lost. Every save is versioned. If a save is based on an old version, it's refused instead of overwriting someone else's work.
Install
curl -fsSL https://burzblog.weburz.com/install.sh | sh
The script picks the right binary from the latest release and checks its SHA-256 before installing. A Docker image is also available.
Quick start
burzblog serve --origin https://blog.example.com
On a fresh data directory, serve prints a one-time setup link to create the
first account. Then write from any machine:
burzblog login https://blog.example.com
burzblog new "My next post"
burzblog publish my-next-post
Your site reads published posts with a read-only token:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $BURZBLOG_TOKEN" \
https://blog.example.com/api/content/posts
