The new homebrewserver.club website.

https://homebrewserver.club/

Build the site locally

System requirements

Install the system requirements:

$ apt install -y python3 python3-dev python3-venv

Python requirements

Then create a virtual environment and activate it:

$ python3 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate

Then install the requirements:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Generating the site

Generate the content and run the server:

$ pelican content
$ pelican --listen

Then the site is available at the following URL:

http://localhost:8000

Working with the site

• Website articles and content are in content
• The website theme is in themes/homebrewtheme
• Images are stored in content/images
• Configs are stored in content/downloads

While working on the site, you can run the following:

$ invoke livereload

And then the Pelican development server will automatically reload when you make changes. It is also possible to use:

$ pelican --autoreload --listen

However, this will not automatically refresh your browser page.

Writing drafts

Use Status: draft in the article metadata. When the site is generated, the output/drafts folder will be created with your new draft article. This allows us to work on new articles and still store the pages here in the repository.

Deploying the site

Just run the usual:

$ git push origin master
