Hosting the site #11

@MattBlissett @timrobertson100 is there a compelling reason to host the TDWG website on a GBIF server, rather than GitHub Pages?

Advantages I see with GitHub pages:

Are HTTP redirects possible? I see workarounds, but I'm not aware of a way to have redirects.

Jenkins supports the yellow/green/red dot, it's just not been enabled.

The feedback that Jenkins provides is really important when someone attempts an edit/addition and the results don't render. We had a case earlier this year during conference preparation, when updating is critical, and new content jammed up the building system. Jenkins (?) was critical in revealing where the problem was and enabling me to get the site working again.

@MattBlissett I'll let you take a decision on this.

MattBlissett commented 2 years ago

I've set up https://dev.tdwg.org/ building from this repository.

I want to look at it in more detail tomorrow, as the builds seem to be much slower than they should be -- the Jekyll Docker container isn't caching installed Gems, and is messing about with permissions which slow it down.

MattBlissett commented 2 years ago

It's now taking about 1 minute to build on Jenkins. This is slower than the Python site, but hopefully not too much of problem.

peterdesmet commented 2 years ago

Thanks for looking into this @MattBlissett I wonder if it’s going to take longer if I add more pages …

peterdesmet commented 1 year ago

Build time should now be lower again (I'm getting 16 seconds locally).

peterdesmet commented 1 year ago

The build is done by Jenkins at https://builds.gbif.org/job/tdwg-website/
