Configuration

Sheepstor is configured from one config file (see ./config/config_SAMPLE.yaml for annotated example).

The config file contains some references to ENV variables which must be set in the environment where Sheepstor is run.

Sheepstor currently support two possible content processors (set in the content_processor property in the config file):

• Hugo (invokes Hugo to compile the site)
• None (in which case it will just copy the sources verbatim)
