Hello NLUG,
In Admin magazine I found a write-up on static website generators.  It mentioned a Python based one I really like called Pelican.  I was able to put together a static website in minutes, but I have a more involving task; needing to convert a Joomla site to a static site, if possible.  Joomla has a J2XML exporter, which I supposedly can then use with Pelican.

If anyone has experience using other tools to convert dynamic (particularly Joomla) sites to static sites, I'm all ears.  Maybe tomorrow's meeting can cover some of this.

Mange Tak,
  M

wget -m

can mirror an entire site recursively, the resulting content will be static.

I may be asking too much here and am willing to pay anyone for their time:

One issue is for some reason as of recently our certificate is not trusted so I'm running into errors like
Certificate Not Trusted Error - NET - -ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID


I've tried wget https://www.site.net -m --no-check-certificate ...
 ... but that does not seem to get the job done.

I am hoping to eventually be able to go static and eliminate PHP (and its vulnerabilities) and pay less for hosting and be more secure.
