Vagrant config with Jekyll etc.

https://github.com/PyconUK/pyconuk.github.io/pull/21 - "someone who can build the site" - that should be "anyone who can run vagrant up" rather than "anyone who can set up rbenv/rvm" because doing the latter always makes me sad...

@doismellburning – is Docker something we want to consider here too? I've not set up Vagrant in a long time but my recent experience with Docker was unterrible.

I've been using Docker for a little while. Dockerfiles are not terrible, probably not dissimilar to Vagrant scripts, I guess?

This all sounds really funky. As someone who is inherently lazy about this sort of stuff can someone (Kristian / George / Sarah???) write up / provide the appropriate information on what to do as baby steps on the wiki (then share the link) or (better still) make it part of the README under the heading "Developer Setup". ;-)

This is important for people who will join the team in the future - all the required information is in one place.

Best wishes,

N.

I'll have a go at a Docker config and will shout here if I get stuck with this weird Ruby stuff :)

@snim2 – brilliant. I'm happy to help out with testing it, etc. I've not actually written a Dockerfile mind…

@ghickman Hi there! I've pushed something to the Dockerfile branch. To build do this:

$ docker build .

and watch for the hash of the resulting container. To run do something like this:

$ sudo docker run -ti HASH -p 4000:4000

For me, this results in something like the following:

$ sudo docker run -ti HASH -p 4000:4000
Configuration file: /pyconuk.github.io-master/_config.yml
            Source: /pyconuk.github.io-master
       Destination: /pyconuk.github.io-master/_site
      Generating... 
                    done.
 Auto-regeneration: enabled for '/pyconuk.github.io-master'
Configuration file: /pyconuk.github.io-master/_config.yml
    Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000/
  Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.

which looks close to correct. However, I cannot actually see the served site in any browser, despite exposing and routing port 4000.

Any ideas? TIA

@snim2 You're only binding to localhost. Lets discuss this in the PR?

[snim2]

@doismellburning this is on a branch, I didn't create a PR since the code isn't working :)

[doismellburning]

@snim2 I'd strongly recommend against "does it work" being a prerequisite for PR creation; e.g. it'd provide a better place for this discussion

[ghickman]

@snim2 – another vote for a PR here, I think commenting on lines would be really useful while we figure this out =)

[snim2]

OK, have created a PR...

[ghickman]

Thanks all for helping get this out!
