📅 Kubernetes Community Days website

Kubernetes Community Days website

This repo houses the assets used to build the Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) site at https://kubernetescommunitydays.org.

If you're interested in organizing your own KCD event, visit the Organizing page of the site for requirements and instructions.

Running the site locally

You can run the KCD site in your local environment if you have the following installed:

• The Hugo static site generator. Installation instructions are here. Make sure to install the version specified in the netlify.toml configuration file.
• The Yarn dependency management tool for JavaScript and other assets. Installation instructions are here.

On a Mac with Homebrew already installed, these instructions can be summarized as brew install hugo yarn.

Once those tools are installed, run these commands to view the site locally:

# Install Sass and other dependencies
yarn

# Run Hugo in "server" mode
hugo server --buildDrafts --buildFuture

Open your browser to http://localhost:1313 to view the site. When you make changes to the source files, the site updates in real time, including a browser refresh.

Site publishing

The KCD site is published via the Netlify platform. The site is updated under two conditions:

1. When changes are pushed to this repository's master branch
2. Every 24 hours, triggered by a Zapier Zap

Link checking

To check the links on the site, run make production-build. This builds the "preview" version of the site (which includes future events), downloads the htmltest executable into your local repo, and checks all of the site's internal links. Any broken links are listed via stdout and also written to a log file in your local repo at tmp/.htmltest/htmltest.log.

To check external links, run make external-link-check. This checks both internal and external links and could take several minutes given dependence on external web resources. We recommend running it periodically and paying attention only to 404 errors.
