How to build with Docker

You will need docker and docker-compose install: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-docker

clone https://github.com/sightmachine/simplecv-website.git
cd simplecv-website
sudo docker-compose up

This will run and build the static website and will take a little bit but then should be viewable from a browser at: http://localhost:4000

The static files will also be built outside the docker container under the "_site" folder.

How to generate static files

Install ruby

$ sudo apt-get install ruby-full nodejs

Install Jekyll

$ sudo gem install jekyll

Generate static files

$ jekyll build

Now static files can be found at _site directory You can serve it with SimpleHTTPServer:

$ cd _site
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer

or serve it with Jekyll development server with auto reload:

$ jekyll serve

How to add a blog post

Posts are located at _posts directory. add a new file with name YYYY-MM-DD-post-name.markdown for example 2012-07-05-new-website.markdown. file should contain a header in the following format:

---
layout: post
title:  "Title of the post"
date:   2012-07-05 10:00:00
---
content of the post goes here

After that you can generate static files and check that a new blog post is added.
