Description

This repository holds the source code and configurations for the official OpenResty site.

This site is a dynamic web application built entirely upon the OpenResty stack, backed by the PostgreSQL database management system.

The latest generation of this site is under the v2/ directory of this repository.

Building

You need to install both OpenResty and PostgreSQL 9.x, obviously.

You need to install pandoc to your system. On Mac OS X, for example, it's as simple as

brew install pandoc

You'll also need perl installed in your system for building the web site (not needed for serivce deployment though).

cd v2/

make gendata  # generate data files from .md files

# create the test database "openresty_org" and the test account "openresty" in your local PostgreSQL server.
# using commands in the initial comment lines of the init.sql file.
# for example:
psql -Upostgres    # or "psql postgres", depending on your Pg installation
# postgres=# create user openresty with password 'speedtheweb';
# postgres=# create database openresty_org;
# postgres=# grant all privileges on database openresty_org to openresty;

make initdb   # create the database and load the data files
make run      # starting the test nginx server listened on localhost:8080
make reload   # for reloading the test nginx server

If your machine has more than one spare CPU cores, then you can specify the -jN option of make to build the HTML docs in parallel, as in

make gendata -j8

This command will run the build in 8 parallel jobs, thus utilizing 8 CPU cores at most.

If you want to re-generate the openresty_org.templates Lua module from the TT2 template files under templates/, then you need to install the Lemplate CPAN module like this:

sudo cpan Lemplate

and then just run

make

The .po files under po/ are for I18N (we need to support both the English and Chinese versions of this site, at least). These files are similar to the .po files used by the classic GNU gettext toolchain, but we do not use GNU gettext at all. Our .po files would be automatically updated according to the latest Lua source and TT2 template files with this command as well. If you make any edits to the .po files, then remember to re-run the make command to make your changes take effect (by updating the openresty_org.i18n Lua module file from the .po files).

TODO

• Add responsive design to the web page templates for mobile devices with small screens.
• Add a in-memory caching layer to the openresty_org web app via lua-resty-lrucache and/or lua_shared_dict.
• Translate more English .md documents into Chinese.
• Add a pager to the search result page in the openresty_org web app.
• Add an RSS feed endpoint in the openresty_org web app.
• Add another tab page to the right-hand side-bar of the web pages featuring the top N hot pages.
• Add an OpenResty logo to the web page header.
• Remove the dependency on pandoc by migrating to a standalone Perl script.
