Building the Workshop site

The content of the workshops is built using hugo.

Local Build

To build the content

• clone this repository

• install hugo. The website is currently running on Hugo 0.92, since we have some markdown issues with the latest versions. You can download the exact version here:

  • Linux: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.92.0/hugo_0.92.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
  • MacOS (Intel): https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.92.0/hugo_0.92.0_macOS-64bit.tar.gz
  • MacOS (ARM): https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.92.0/hugo_0.92.0_macOS-ARM64.tar.gz
  • Windows: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.92.0/hugo_0.92.0_Windows-64bit.zip

• The project uses hugo learn template as a git submodule. To update the content, execute the following code

pushd themes/learn
git submodule init
git submodule update --checkout --recursive
popd

• Run hugo to generate the site, and point your browser to http://localhost:1313

hugo serve -D

Containerized Development

The image can also serve as a development environment using docker-compose. The following command will spin up a container exposing the website at localhost:1313 and mount config.toml and the directories ./content, ./layouts and ./static, so that local changes will automatically be picked up by the development container.

$ docker-compose up -d  ## To see the logs just drop '-d'
