This is a repositry of my portfolio. It uses jekyll and compass and is hosted on github.

To get it to run on vagrant

vagrant up  // ignore the error messages about tty, dpkg-preconfigure: and 'tomdoc'
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
jekyll serve --force_polling  // jekyll autogeneration does not work inside vagrant without --force_polling
jekyll serve --force_polling --host 0.0.0.0  // to set localhost:4000

In browser go to 'localhost:4000' to view site

To stop working on the repositry

Ctrl + c       # Quits server
Ctrl + d       # Closes ssh connection
vagrant halt   # Shuts down the box

When trying to provision vagrant you might come across the following errors:

1. When running the jekyll command you may get "Could not find a JavaScript runtime". This means that it requires node to compile.

   sudo apt-get install -y nodejs //installs node via the package manager jekyll serve --force_polling //re-run to compile and generate pages

2. When running vagrant up you might encounter "The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status". This means that there are several vagrant instances running. Go to your virtual machine manager and halt/ shutdown any machines that are running. You should only work on one machine at a time so run vagrant halt after each session.
