What are you trying to deploy to that doesn't have php? Are you still running apache or nginx?



No, we were looking at firebase hosting

> "We deliver all of your static content (html, js, images, etc.) over a secure SSL connection and serve it on a CDN. Firebase Hosting is for hosting static assets. Firebase currently doesn't offer any way to execute your code on Firebase's servers."


Is there something like a wordpress front end for authoring and managing content that then generates all the static content for you to deploy?

In the olden days, blogger.com used to have this feature so you could self host. They ditched this in I think 2009 so google could get deeper data on all those blogs users.


I entirely expect so. With the advent of single page site frameworks, it is pretty trivial. This is exactly what firebase targets. The backend stores structured data, and the static assets delivered as frontend code then organise the presentation. Well, strictly firebase was originally intended for mobile apps, which already work that way. But with frontend heavy frameworks, this process is easier to replicate than ever.


I just realised I may have misunderstood your question. Is this what you mean? https://jekyllrb.com/


Jekyll is awesome but Wordpress has pretty much a GUI for editing.


Ah yeah, that's beyond my experience. I just got handed a wordpress site and then realised it wasn't super simple to deploy.
