Crate.IO Website

https://crate.io

This is the developement setup for the crate.io website. It uses the static website generator tool Cactus to generate HTML pages.

$ git clone git@github.com:crate/crate-web.git
$ cd crate-web
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

The dev environment requires Python 2.7 to be installed.

$ python2.7 bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout -N

Select an environment:

$ bin/py src/web/env.py local > crate/config.json

or simpler:

$ bin/env local

To start the development server:

$ bin/serve

By default Cactus serves the site on port 8000. You can specify a specific port with the --port argument:

$ bin/serve --port 8888

To convert the WP dump (.xml) to Markdown files we use wp2md.

First, export WordPress data to XML file (Tools -> Export -> All content), then run:

$ bin/wp2md -d out data/crate.wordpress.yyyy-mm-dd.xml

Move the posts into the blog folder and rename from .md to .html

$ mv out/posts/* crate/pages/blog/
$ cd crate/pages/blog/
$ for fn in *.md; do mv $fn ${fn//.md/.html}; done
$ for fn in *.html; do mv $fn "${fn//#[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-/}"; done

All pages are located in ./crate/pages and respective subfolders.

Blog posts are located in ./crate/pages/blog.

Simply run the deploy_web-staging job on Jenkins.

Site will be served without caching on https://staging.crate.io.
