PyCon UK 202x website
If you're starting with this base, you'll need to update the dates, etc in the config.yml to reflect those for the current year. You probably only need to care about the stuff that is called con. You'll also need to put appropriate links everywhere you find "There will be a link". Also, don't forget to update the 'Schedule' link in the header when the schedule is available.
This site is made using Jekyll. Jekyll is a static site generator written in ruby. To build the project we first need to check that we have Jekyll's requirements installed.
These are:
On Ubuntu 20.04 this can be achieved by: sudo apt-get install -y ruby ruby-dev gcc make
You can check if you have these installed by typing <command> -v in your terminal.
If the program is available on your system then you should see the version of the program that is installed outputted in your terminal.
For example if Ruby in installed and you run ruby -v, you should get output like this ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-linux].
If RugbyGems is not installed an you run gem -v you should get an error like this bash: gem: command not found
See the Jekyll documentation for more information on install Jekyll and its requirements.
Now that you have all of Jekyll's requirements installed you can install and run Jekyll:
./runThis will start a webserver on http://127.0.0.1:4000/. To view the website open http://127.0.0.1:4000/ in your favorite web browser. This will also automatically rebuild the project when a change to the source is detected.
You may need to disable IPv6 as apparently bundler is rather shoddy.
On Ubuntu:
echo "Showing current IPv6 state"
for conf_entry in all default lo; do
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.${conf_entry}.disable_ipv6=1
done
echo "Updating IPv6 state"
for conf_entry in all default lo; do
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.${conf_entry}.disable_ipv6=1
doneYou can re-enable it afterwards, e.g. on Ubuntu
for conf_entry in all default lo; do
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.${conf_entry}.disable_ipv6=0
done
