Example [ikiwiki] website using GitLab Pages.
## Forgejo Actions
Learn more about GitLab Pages at https://pages.gitlab.io and the official
documentation https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/pages/.
This project's static Pages are built by Forgejo Actions, following the steps
defined in [`.forgejo/workflows/pages.yaml`](.forgejo/workflows/pages.yaml).
That builds this website using ikiwiki, and pushes the build artifacts to the
`public` branch.
---
The `public` branch has its own workflow following steps defined in
[`forgejo/workflows/push.yaml`](https://ayakael.net/forge/ayakael.net/src/branch/public/.forgejo/workflows/push.yaml)
that uploads the artifacts to a remote HTTP server for deployment in
production. This workflow is automatically updated from `main` so that `public`
should never be manually modified.

The deployment is done by a simple remote git push via SSH to a non-bare repo
where `git config receive.denyCurrentBranch` is set as `updateInstead`. This
allows this repo to be checked out as `public`, allowing it to be a root for
your favorite HTTP server.

The following secrets are expected to be set for operation:
* PAGES_PRIVKEY: SSH private key that is used to push to the HTTP server's git
repo
* PAGES_TOKEN: Forgejo application token used to push to `public` branch.

## GitLab CI
This project's static Pages are built by [GitLab CI][ci], following the steps
defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](.gitlab-ci.yml):
```yaml
image: elecnix/ikiwiki
before_script:
- apt-get install -y git
- git submodule init
- git submodule update
test:
stage: test
script:
- ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup --libdir themes/ikistrap/lib
only:
- branches
- tags
pages:
stage: deploy
script:
- ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup --libdir themes/ikistrap/lib
artifacts:
paths:
- public
only:
- master
```
We are using a theme based on Bootstrap 4 using submodules, and in order to
enable the theme plugin, we must pass the `libdir` parameter.
The following variables are expected to be set for operation:
* PAGES_TARGET: SSH target for HTTP server's git repo, following this format:
user@example.net:/path/to/http/repo
## Building locally
To work locally with this project, you'll have to follow the steps below:
1. Fork, clone or download this project
1. [Install][] ikiwiki
1. Clone the submodules: `git submodule init && git submodule update`
1. Generate the website: `ikiwiki --setup .ikiwiki/ikiwiki.setup --libdir themes/ikistrap/lib`
1. Preview your project: open `public/index.html` in a browser
1. Install ikiwiki:
* [mac][]
* [linux][]
* [source][]
1. Generate the website: `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup`
1. Start http-server: `./test-server.sh`
1. Preview your project: open 127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser

## GitLab User or Group Pages
## Contributing
To use this project as your user/group website, you will need one additional
step: just rename your project to `namespace.gitlab.io`, where `namespace` is
your `username` or `groupname`. This can be done by navigating to your
project's **Settings**.
1. Fork the main ayakael.net repo.
Read more about [user/group Pages][userpages] and [project Pages][projpages].
2. Checkout the forked repository.
## Did you fork this project?
- `git clone ssh://git@ayakael.net/$USER/ayakael.net`
- `cd ayakael.net`
If you forked this project for your own use, please go to your project's
**Settings** and remove the forking relationship, which won't be necessary
unless you want to contribute back to the upstream project.
3. Make your changes.
## Troubleshooting
4. Do local build.
1. CSS is missing! That means two things:
- `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup`
Either that you have wrongly set up the CSS URL in your templates, or
your static generator has a configuration option that needs to be explicitly
set in order to serve static assets under a relative URL.
5. Fix any errors that come up and rebuild until it works locally.
6. Commit the changes to the git repo in a git branch
- `git checkout -b <name>`
- `git add` changes
- `git commit -m 'content/index: descriptive description'`
- `git push`
7. Create a merge request with your changes by following link in server response.
8. Once the tests in the merge-request pass, and reviewers are happy, your changes
will be merged.
