Ken, I currently have raspberryvi.org in a git repository on a local machine.
There is one thing you need to know when setting up a Nikola site to stop the blog from being the front page. I can share that with you if you go for Nikola. Jekyll is used by github.io pages, but don't think it has a stand-alone mechanism for syncing to the remote server, if it is a server other than <username>.github.io. Nikola is very good at that part, you can define multiple places to 'deploy' the site, like this: $ nikola deploy live %$ nikola deploy local I have raspberryvi.org set up so that I can sync it to an Apache server I have running here, or 'live' to poke it to the host server. eyesfreelinux.ninja is the same, and is on one of Josh's machines. The only thing I have found annoying about Nikola is that version changes tend to make the config.py br4eak and it can be necessary to rehash it. But I have now 'frozen' on an older version. There are also Docker images containing Nikola as well and I have considered switching to one of those, as I am now running almost everything in containers.
