Structure

The site is implemented as a Jekyll site.

It has a _config.yml for specifying the directory structure, metadata, build defaults, etc.

Inputs

All source files are inside the _jekyll/ directory, as specified in _config.yml.

Outputs

All output files live inside the _site/ directory, and its content have been gitignore-d.

Usage

Preparation

To begin developing,

make prep

which would install the necessary Ruby gems for you.

Auto-build

To make it watch for file changes and build automatically (which watches only the files specified in the above Inputs section), run:

make watch

If you want to be sure all outputs are cleaned prior to building, run:

make clean-watch

Just build

The non-watching equivalents for the above are simply:

make build
make clean-build

Deployment

This section is only for deployment.

Configuration

Configure the hostname and region in the ro-site.rc file as you know it.

cp ro-site.rc.template ro-site.rc
vi ro-site.rc

Uploading to S3

If you have access to the bucket, run this.

export AWS_PROFILE=myprofile
source ro-site.rc
make upload

Clear CloudFront caching

The sites are accessed via CloudFront. If you’re seeing stale data after make upload, most likely the CloudFront cache needs to be invalidated.

Your AWS account must be authorized to invalidate the CloudFront cache for this distribution.

export AWS_PROFILE=myprofile
source ro-site.rc
make clear-cf
