Topic: Running website locally

Hi, I just made a copy of the Containers website in order to make a website for the UI Group, and The README for building the site locally assumes you have Ruby installed, and doesn't have any instructions for that (like which version you should use, or if there is any other setup). I can make a best guess, but wanted to get some advice here before plunging ahead.

Good question! Yeah, it's a Jekyll site. Lately, I've only been adding content, so I just edit index.md in vi or VS Code, preview it (or not), commit and push.

But yeah, since you'll be redesigning, you'l want to build it with Jekyll. I'm happy to help with this.

Turns out I had documented how to run the site in the README and forgot about it. :sweat_smile:

I just added a Docker option: https://github.com/gdcc/ct.gdcc.io/commit/ceef09f424678fe149c67d0a53dc8ad5316ea7e7

Once you have Docker avail, certain things become just so much easier

Awesome! Out of curiosity, with Ruby or Docker?

do I need permission to create a repository like the containers website on the gdcc github?

I just invited you to be a member of gdcc. You should see an invite at https://github.com/gdcc

That should be enough to create a repo but let me or @Oliver Bertuch know if you'd like to be an owner.

If you would like a fancy gdcc.io shortlink, I can create those for you, @Ellen K .

thanks @Oliver Bertuch ! I was thinking I could follow the naming convention, and user ui.gdcc.io
