Building

If you want to submit a PR or test a change to fix a link, etc it may be helpful for you to build and run locally.

Building with Docker

If you have Docker installed your machine, you can use it to build and serve the site. To make things easier, there's a run-docker script to build the container image and mount some cache volumes to speed up future processes.

To build the site and serve it locally, execute ./run-docker --serve to start the Docker container with a local HTTP server available at localhost:4000. For more information, see Build and run a local HTTP server.

You can just build the site with no HTTP server by executing ./run-docker.

Building on your host machine

This project is built using jekyll and asciidoc. You'll need to have ruby installed.

Install

Install these programs:

• java
• ruby (2.7.5)
• plantuml
• git

gem install bundle bundle install

Build Errors

On M1 Macs, you may receive an error similar to:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    current directory: /Users/<username>/.rbenv/versions/2.7.5/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/eventmachine-1.2.7/ext
/Users/<username>/.rbenv/versions/2.7.5/bin/ruby -I /Users/mark/.rbenv/versions/2.7.5/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.7.0 extconf.rb

To fix this, rebuild the eventmachine gem using:

gem install eventmachine -v '1.2.7' -- --with-ldflags="-Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup"
bundle install

Setup Savant

We use the Savant build tool. In order to build and run this project, you'll need to first setup Savant.

Linux or macOS

mkdir ~/savant
cd ~/savant
wget http://savant.inversoft.org/org/savantbuild/savant-core/1.0.0/savant-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz savant-1.0.0.tar.gz
ln -s ./savant-1.0.0 current
export PATH=$PATH:~/savant/current/bin/

You may optionally want to add ~/savant/current/bin to your PATH that is set in your profile so that this change persists. You'll also need to ensure that you have Java >= 8 installed and the environment variable JAVA_HOME is set.

Build and run a local HTTP server

sb serve

For more information on the Savant build tool, checkout savantbuild.org.

If you are modifying the doc search and want to use a different Algolia index for testing, update the settings in _config.yml. To manually refresh the document search index, use this command: ALGOLIA_API_KEY='<admin api key>' bundle exec jekyll algolia

If you want to clean your Jekyll install, run bundle exec jekyll clean.

CSS changes

This project depends on CSS from the fusionauth-style project.

If you are making changes to the CSS, you'll need to do the following:

• clone that repo, make changes there on a branch
• when your changes are done, run sb int which pushes up an integration build (similar to a maven snapshot) to the savant repo.
• edit your css dependency var to be something like this (with the appropriate version number):

fusionauthWebsiteStyleVersion = "0.2.27-{integration}"

• then you can commit this and other folks can pull down your changes

Each time you make a CSS change, you can run sb int in fusionauth-style and then sb css in this project to pull down the latest CSS.

Releasing CSS changes

Before you merge your site changes with CSS dependencies to master:

• do a CSS version release, which will bump the version (see instructions in that repo for more)
• update the version number in site/_includes/_head.liquid
• update the dependency in the fusionauth-site savant build file.
• run sb css
• check in the new css files.

Deploying to S3

This section is only useful if you work for FusionAuth. Sorry!

Only master is ever released. You should work on a feature branch so that nothing is inadvertently released, but you must merge to master before you release. On every project, including this site, master should always be completely clean and able to be released at anytime.

Deploying happens automatically via a GitHub action when master is updated.

Modifying Cloudfront behavior

Cloudfront is our CDN. We have other sources of web content and it manages them all.

The key file is src/cloudfront/fusionauth-website-request-handler.js which is what handles all redirectrs or other items.

If you are adding a page that is an index page, update indexPages.

If you are moving a page around, update redirects.

If you are adding a new top level directory that is pulled from the S3 bucket, make sure you:

• add a behavior in CloudFront. Default to Redirect HTTP to HTTPS for the Viewer Protocol Policy and Managed-CachingOptimized for the Cache policy name unless you have reasons to use something else.
• if you are adding a top level file, add an entry to the s3Paths array
• if you are adding a top level directory, add an entry to the s3Prefixes array

If you do anything to this file, realize it takes time to deploy too. You can see it in the Functions section of Cloudfront, but it typically takes 10ish minutes.
