Static site (wget issue?)

Developer help
1

Hi – I’ve been diving into Ghost this week and my hope is to use it to create content that can be exported to static pages to be hosted in AWS S3. Two static site generation tools I’ve found, gssg and gui operate on the same basic principle: wget.

It seems there are several ways of doing this, but the wget based options are the most understandable to me and would meet my need if I could figure out why I’m getting a 301 each time. Is ghost serving HTTP/S? Is that a relatively new feature and these tools pre-date it’s introduction?

Here’s what happens when they run:

gssg

Thank you for any pointers or guidance here.

I will also say that Netlify seems overkill and the Eleventy approach confuses me (why do I have to have a special template? I like my current, simple template!).

Turns out this was caused by the way the Bitnami script implemented the HTTP to HTTPS redirect. I really don’t get why, if wget was knocking against he built-in HTTPd but when I redeployed (on AWS Lightsail) and set up Let’s Encrypt but selected NOT to enable HTTP/S redirect everything worked as expected.
