Sitemap

To setup sscli a sitemap generator:

# As of this writing:
# installs nvm (Node Version Manager)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.0/install.sh | bash

# download and install Node.js (you may need to restart the terminal)
nvm install 22

# verifies the right Node.js version is in the environment
node -v # should print `v22.11.0`

# verifies the right npm version is in the environment
npm -v # should print `10.9.0`

# install sscli
npm i -g static-sitemap-cli

Everytime you update your site:

mdbook build --dest-dir /var/www/html/
sscli -b https://<your.domain.name> -r /var/www/html/
