sg

Static site generation template for simongriffee.com

Uses Jekyll.

Preview site locally

jekyll serve -w

…Or with local apache pointing to sg.dev, just go to http://sg.dev in browser

Deployment of _site folder via rsync to avoid problem of overwriting existing files on server root

rsync -exclude='.DS_Store' -cavzhe ssh ~/Sites/sg.dev/ hth@hth.webfactional.com:webapps/simongriffee/

…Or use the deploy script (after first making it executable with chmod +x deploy):

. deploy

See this and this regarding Jekyll's mangling of timestamps

Things to do

  1. Refactor stories CSS into main stylesheet
  2. Setup make file deployment to preserve timestamps using this technique?
  3. Setup Git deployment with detached work tree and post-commit hook — see below
  4. Setup bittorrent sync or git-annex? for deployment of entire site or of images folder?
  5. HTTPS and redirect
  6. Search via JavaScript? Currently using Duck Duck Go.
  7. Compression of sitemap.xml before uploading?
  8. Streamlined command for creating post
  9. Refactor stories section like this

Alternative automatic deployment of stories section with Git

A. Make sure Jekyll and RubyGems are installed on both local and server machines.

B. On local:

~/projects/sg/.git/config:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
    url = [email protected]:hypertexthero/sg.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "deploy"]
    url = [email protected]:~/repos/sg.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/deploy/*
[remote "all"]
    url = [email protected]:~/repos/sg.git
    url = [email protected]:hypertexthero/sg.git

C. On server:

Make sure these folders exist:

~/webapps/sg/stories/
~/repos/sg/
~/repos/sg.it/

Put the following in ~/repos/sg.it/hooks/post-receive:

#!/bin/sh

GIT_REPO=$HOME/repos/sg.git
TMP_GIT_CLONE=/home/hth/tmp/sg
PUBLIC_WWW=/home/hth/webapps/sg/stories

git clone $GIT_REPO $TMP_GIT_CLONE
jekyll build -s $TMP_GIT_CLONE -d $PUBLIC_WWW
rm -Rf $TMP_GIT_CLONE
exit

Run this command to make it executable:

chmod +x post-receive

D. To deploy:

git add .
git commit -m 'short description of change'
git push all
jekyll logo
