Install and Run

1. Install Docker or Docker Toolbox and fire it up.

2. git clone https://github.com/harvard-lil/h2o-static.git

3. cd h2o-static

4. Fire up the web server and build the site: docker-compose up

5. Check out what you built:

   • Docker: head to http://localhost:8080/
   • Docker Machine/Toolbox: run docker-machine ip to discover the IP address of your virtualbox. Then, head to http://that-ip-address:8080/

6. Make changes to the app directory.

Most of the time, Jekyll will notice your changes and will automatically rebuild the site: just wait for the build to finish and refresh your browser. You'll see something like the following after a successful build:

jekyll_1  |       Generating...
jekyll_1  |          AutoPages: Generating tags pages
jekyll_1  |          AutoPages: Generating categories pages
jekyll_1  |          AutoPages: collections pages are disabled/not configured in site.config.
jekyll_1  |         Pagination: Complete, processed 140 pagination page(s)
jekyll_1  |                     done in 27.68 seconds.
jekyll_1  |  Auto-regeneration: enabled for '/srv/jekyll'

Exceptions: changes to _config.yml, Gemfile, .htaccess, and the contents of the _plugins directory will not trigger an automatic rebuild, or, even if they do, the rebuilt site might not reflect your changes.

Errors: if the build errors out (scss syntax errors, incorrect variable names, etc.), the automatic rebuilding process may stop working.

To manually rebuild the site/restart the automatic rebuilding process, press Ctrl+C and then run docker-compose up again.

7. When you are done, press Ctrl+C and then run docker-compose down. Then, optionally:

• Docker: quit the Docker app
• Docker Machine/Toolbox: run docker-machine stop
