Homepage (landing page) and announcements for RCE (http://rcenvironment.de).

Based on Pelican and a modifed Polar theme by CodePassenger.

Local Installation

  • Install Python3 (Anaconda works perfectly)

  • Install Pelican and supporting libraries

    pip install invoke==1.4.1
    pip install pelican==3.7.1
    pip install markdown==3.1.1
    
  • If you want to deploy the website after changing it, additionally install

    pip install ghp-import==0.5.5
    

    Deployment requires write access to the repository https://github.com/DLR-SC/rce-website.

  • Clone this repository

Configuration

  • Set proper port for local testing which works on your machine in fabfile.py
# Port for `serve`
PORT = 8001

Build

  • Generate website

    invoke build
    
  • Start local server for testing (accessible via http://localhost:[PORT]/).

    invoke serve
    

    This does not rebuild the website after changes, meaning you will have to manually stop the local server, rebuild the website using invoke build, and restart the testing server after each change.

  • If you want to automatically rebuild the website after each change and have that new build served by the testing server, use

    invoke reserve
    

Deployment

In order to deploy the website, please first make sure that you have no local branch named gh-pages. You can verify by executing git branch and checking the output for a line that contains gh-pages. If such a line exists, you can delete the existing local branch. Please make sure that that branch contains no changes that you want to retain before deleting it by executing git branch -D gh-pages.

Once you have made sure that no local branch named gh-pages exists, execute the following commands to publish your changes. This requires write access to the repository at https://github.com/DLR-SC/rce-website. If you do not have such access, please contact one of the main developers at DLR for obtaining them.

git fetch https://github.com/DLR-SC/rce-website.git gh-pages:gh-pages
ghp-import -b gh-pages output
git push https://github.com/DLR-SC/rce-website.git gh-pages
