Personal Website

Made with ❤️ using Ambiorix

Prerequisites

• R >= 4.1.0

Installation

1. Clone the repo and cd into it:

   git@github.com:kennedymwavu/mwavu.git

   cd mwavu

2. Create an env file (.Renviron) at the root dir of the project and add this variable:

   RENV_CONFIG_SANDBOX_ENABLED = FALSE

3. Restore package dependencies:

   R -e "renv::restore()"

   The -e flag tells R to execute that expression and exit.

Run app

Rscript index.R

Then visit localhost:8000 to view the app.

Contact page messages

I have used mailgun to forward messages entered in the contact page form to my email.

If you need the form to work you will have to:

1. Create a mailgun account, add a sending domain, and create an API key.

2. Add these variables to your .Renviron:

   MAILGUN_API_KEY = your-mailgun-api-key
   MAILGUN_SENDING_DOMAIN = your-mailgun-sending-domain
   EMAIL = your-personal-email

Docker

• Build the docker image:

  docker build -t personal-website .

• Run the services via docker compose:

  docker compose up -d

  This will run the app on port 1028 of the host machine, so you will view it at localhost:1028

• To stop the services do:

  docker compose down
