# CoTech Website
## Introduction
This is a port of the current Wordpress version of the [CoTech Website][] to a statically-generated site using [Jekyll][].
## Run the site locally
You can run the site on your computer as if it were live online using Jekyll. You will need `git` and `ruby` installed on your machine to do this. Then clone the repository
### ... using docker
Make sure you have [docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) (CE is fine) installed and running,
and [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) installed,
then:
git clone git@git.coop:cotech/website.git
cd website
docker-compose up -d
And visit [localhost:4000](http://localhost:4000) to view the site.
There are two docker volumes used here:
* `vendor` - caches the ruby gems even if you recreate the containers
* `site` - holds the built site files to share them with httpd (and not clutter your local filesystem)
A few useful things you might want to do:
# check the status of the containers
docker-compose ps
# stop all the containers (but don't remove them)
docker-compose stop
# stop and remove the containers (but leave the volumes)
docker-compose down
# remove everything
docker-compose down -v
# bring it back to life from any state you happen to be in
docker-compose up -d
# run some ruby/bundler commands
docker-compose run jekyll bundle --version
docker-compose run jekyll bundle update
docker-compose run jekyll bundle exec jekyll --help
### ... directly on your machine
Install the dependencies for the project
git clone git@git.coop:cotech/website.git
cd website
gem install bundler
bundle install
Run a local web server so that you can view the site
bundle exec jekyll server
And visit [localhost:4000](http://localhost:4000) to view the site.
**Note: not all the images will load as there is no `.htaccess` support locally**
## Deployment
When changes are committed to the `master` branch the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file triggers the building of the site and then the copying of the results to [dev.coops.tech](https://dev.coops.tech).
Once someone has verified that looks ok, you can use the
[GitLab environments](https://git.coop/cotech/website/environments)
to promote it to [www.coops.tech](https://www.coops.tech)
