Jekyll on Vagrant
Previewing a Jekyll site is just a vagrant up
away - on any machine.
Why?
The motivation was to make it easy for people to contribute to a Jekyll based site, even on Windows machines and without needing to setup Ruby, Bundler, and Jekyll.
In exchange of course for installing Vagrant (and probably VirtualBox).
If you are a Jekyll veteran, this is probably not for you.
Usage
The scripts expect the Ruby gems to be handled via Bundler.
Copy the following files into your Jekyll sites root directory:
Vagrantfile
_provision/bootstrap.sh
_provision/jekyll.service
Then when you're editing a page in the Jekyll site
type vagrant up
into the command line, and you can view the
generated site on
http://localhost:4000/.
When finished for the day, type vagrant halt
.
