My personal website reinstated, this time written in Spring

Installing

From the Snap store

Ensure snapd is installed on your system, then install donaldsebleung-com from the Snap store.

Next, run the following commands to make your CA-issued (or self-signed) key-certificate pair available to donaldsebleung-com:

$ sudo donaldsebleung-com install-key < /path/to/your/key.pem
$ sudo donaldsebleung-com install-cert < /path/to/your/cert.pem

If your private key is protected by a passphrase <passphrase>, run the following command to make donaldsebleung-com aware of it:

$ sudo donaldsebleung-com set-passwd "<passphrase>"

Finally, enable the service snap.donaldsebleung-com.donaldsebleung-comd.service to run at boot:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now snap.donaldsebleung-com.donaldsebleung-comd.service

From source

Ensure that Java 8 or later is installed (ideally Java 11 or later) and that the JAVA_HOME variable is set correctly. Furthermore, ensure Git is installed. Then, in a terminal or command prompt:

$ git clone https://github.com/DonaldKellett/donaldsebleung-com.git
$ cd donaldsebleung-com

Now you can run the project with (replace mvnw with mvnw.cmd if on Windows):

$ ./mvnw spring-boot:run

Point your browser to https://localhost:8443 to see the result. Note that your browser may block the site due to the use of a self-signed certificate. In this case, it should be safe to ignore the warning and proceed with visiting the site.

Alternatively, you could package the project with (again, replace mvnw with mvnw.cmd if on Windows):

$ ./mvnw package

This creates a Java archive at target/personal-website-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar which can be run with:

$ java -jar target/personal-website-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

For convenience, you may wish to move the JAR elsewhere.
