Question 1

How do I install Obtvse2 on Heroku?

Accepted Answer

After cloning the repo and setting up Rails, use the provided Heroku command to configure the PATH. The README includes specific steps, but it requires familiarity with Heroku and Rails deployment processes.

Question 2

Obtvse2 or Ghost for a markdown blog?

Accepted Answer

Obtvse2 is a Rails-based, self-hosted app with a minimalist admin interface, while Ghost is a Node.js platform with more features out-of-the-box. Choose Obtvse2 if you prefer Rails and customizability; Ghost is better for a richer, hosted solution.

Question 3

How to add syntax highlighting in Obtvse2 posts?

Accepted Answer

It uses Coderay for syntax highlighting, as noted in the backend features. You can configure it through the Kramdown markdown processor in the Rails app settings.

Question 4

Does Obtvse2 support comments?

Accepted Answer

No, Obtvse2 does not include a built-in comment system. You would need to integrate a third-party service like Disqus or develop a custom solution.

Question 5

Can I migrate from WordPress to Obtvse2?

Accepted Answer

Migration isn't directly supported; you'd need to export WordPress content and convert it to markdown, possibly using tools or custom scripts, as Obtvse2 uses a different database structure.

Question 6

Is Obtvse2 suitable for a multi-author blog?

Accepted Answer

With its built-in user system, it can handle multiple admins, but it lacks advanced role permissions or collaboration tools, so it's best for small teams with simple access needs.
