A clean, powerful, and customizable open-source blog platform — built with performance and developer happiness in mind.

📍 Live site: darmannyar.com
📦 Repository: github.com/Uryzen317/zigma-blog

📝 The project was originally developed under the name Zigma Blog, but launched under the final name Darmannyar during the final stages.

Zigma Blog is crafted with love using the following technologies:

This monorepo is split into two main branches:

• client — Frontend source code (Next.js)
• server — Backend source code (NestJS)

To run the frontend locally:

npm run start:dev

⚠️ Note for production (CI/CD):
Make sure to rename public-env.prod.ts to public-env.ts during the build pipeline.

To run the backend locally:

1. Copy the .env.example file to a new .env file:

   cp .env.example .env
   

2. Update the .env file with the appropriate environment variables for your local setup.

3. Then, run the server:

npm run start:dev

⚠️ Note for production (CI/CD):
Ensure that the .env file is properly set up on your production environment with the necessary credentials and variables.

This project supports automated deployment using Ansible.
All related configurations and playbooks are located in the ansible branch.

1. Switch to the Ansible branch:

   git checkout ansible

2. Configure your inventory:

   • Copy the example file:

     cp inventory.ini.example inventory.ini

   • Edit inventory.ini with your server's IP/hostname and SSH config.
     ⚠️ Do not commit this file – it's already listed in .gitignore.

3. Update variable files:

   • Open the files in the vars/ directory and customize them for your environment (e.g., service names, deployment paths, or other settings).

4. Run the playbook:

   ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbooks/deploy.yml

This will:

• Build the app on your local machine
• Upload production files to your server
• Install dependencies
• Restart the service

Everything with one command, under your full control.
