bitbucket - How to automate building and deploying Jekyll site to webserver via FTP -

my jekyll files stored in bitbucket, , able automatically generate _site folder on every new change gets pushed. (note, don't want push _site folder git, out of question).

once _site generated, automatically deploy webserver via ftp.

is @ possible? options?

thank you!

since didn't mention _site folder go, here' generic answer.

in short, need webserver or service listens bitbucket post commit hook, here relevant documentation that.

that way, on every push, bitbucket trigger action , notify server/app/service build new _site , deploy want to.

here's tutorial on setting use of cron jobs , webserver. link

a simple vps work, or tiny amazon ec instance/azure virtual machine.

of course, these not 100% free.

if hate using servers, a continuous integration (ci) service can used instead, on commit hooks trigger build,

travis-ci , drone.io free public repos, if repo private you'll have go paid service. there many others well.

(note travis-ci not compatible bitbucket @ time of writing, works github)

basically ci used run tests, aside that, can use generate build , push or copy _site somewhere, maybe own server. or in case of how article describes it, repo. (read 'becoming jekyll god' on how creative ways on deploying)
