Compiling

Since 2018 the page is written in elm which requires compilation. Install elm-make and compile the source code into dbic.js which is the file included in the index.html.

$ npm install -g elm
$ elm make Main.elm --output dbic.js

Translations

The translations are made with available translations tools like Babel Fish in 2004 except the danish version which was emailed to me at christmas 2012.

I don't think there's any need to add more translations at this time.

Hosting

This site is now hosted via Google Cloud Run which is just a docker container automatically orchestrated and scaled with TLS support.

See the reference for first time setup and how to verify and map custom domains to a Cloud Run application.

Build and deploy container to Google Container registry:

$ gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/zippy-cab-252712/det-blev-ingen-cd

Deploy the service to Cloud Run:

$ gcloud beta run deploy --image gcr.io/zippy-cab-252712/det-blev-ingen-cd --platform managed

Local Docker

The included Dockerfile.local makes it possible to host the web page in a docker container locally (non-cloud solution). To run det-blev-ingen-cd.com in Docker, build the container with the Dockerfile.local file. Note that a copy of the certificates defined in nginx.conf must be present in ./certificates (which is not included in the repository for obvious reasons).

$ docker build -t det-blev-ingen-cd .
$ docker run -d --name det-blev-ingen-cd -p 443:443 det-blev-ingen-cd
$ curl -sI https://det-blev-ingen-cd.com --resolve det-blev-ingen-cd.com:443:127.0.0.1 | head -n1

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Encryption

To run the site locally with TLS support use Let's encrypt.

To generate new certificates, install certbot-auto.

$ curl -O https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
$ chmod +x certbot-auto

And generate certificates.

$ ./certbot-auto certonly --nginx --debug -d det-blev-ingen-cd.com -d www.det-blev-ingen-cd.com

To renew certificates, just use the renew flag.

$ ./certbot-auto renew --nginx --debug
