Aws-workshop-template

This project allows you to scaffold a workshop using a AWS-styled Hugo theme similar to those available at lunar-lander.workshop.aws, and eksworkshop.com

Important note on workshop creation, review, and hosting

All workshops should be submitted to the Tech Content 2.0 process. This enables centralised tracking and review of content. Once your Tech Content review is complete, you can host your workshop using the workshop.aws publication+hosting mechanism. The Tech Content team will submit the tickets for hosting and publication.

You should not host a workshop under your own domain, nor should you host workshops in AWS accounts marked as 'invidivual use' - these actions can result in Sev2 security incidents.

Requirements

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Install Hugo locally. As of 1 Aug 2020, the workshop.aws build process uses Hugo 0.74.3

Getting Started

Navigate to the workshop directory

All command line directions in this documentation assume you are in the workshop directory. Navigate there now, if you aren't there already.

cd my-first-workshop/workshop

Create your first chapter page

Chapters are pages that contain other child pages. It has a special layout style and usually just contains a brief abstract of the section.

Discover what this template is all about and the core concepts behind it.

This template provides archetypes to create skeletons for your workshop. Begin by creating your first chapter page with the following command

cd workshop
hugo new --kind chapter intro/_index.en.md

By opening the given file, you should see the property chapter=true on top, meaning this page is a chapter.

By default all chapters and pages are created as a draft. If you want to render these pages, remove the property draft = true from the metadata.

Create your first content pages

Then, create content pages inside the previously created chapter. Here are two ways to create content in the chapter:

hugo new intro/first-content.en.md
hugo new intro/second-content/_index.en.md

Feel free to edit those files by adding some sample content and replacing the title value in the beginning of the files.

Launching the website locally

Launch by using the following command:

hugo serve

Go to http://localhost:1313

You should notice three things:

  1. You have a left-side Intro menu, containing two submenus with names equal to the title properties in the previously created files.
  2. The home page explains how to customize it by following the instructions.
  3. When you run hugo server, when the contents of the files change, the page automatically refreshes with the changes. Neat!

Alternatively, you can run the following command in a terminal window to tell Hugo to automatically rebuild whenever a file is changed. This can be helpful when rapidly iterating over content changes.

hugo server

Things to be aware of:

  • Remove the links to "Event Outfitters" from the bottom of the front page before you publish your workshop.
  • Update the config.toml with your workshop name - the default is at the top, and also under the section [Languages.en]
title = "My AWS Workshop"
  • The template includes two sample languages, French and English (eg "_index.en.md" and "_index.fr.md"). Please don't move everything to "_index.md" as other people may want to translate your workshop in future!
  • However, you should remove the example French language selection from the config.toml unless you plan to provide a French translation. Delete the following lines:
[Languages.fr]
title = "Mon atelier AWS"
weight = 2
languageName = "Français"
