UserFrosting Documentation

https://learn.userfrosting.com

This is the repository for the documentation for UserFrosting 5. It is built with the flat-file CMS Grav, using their RTFM skeleton.

Getting started

This site is built using Grav CMS, which like UserFrosting v4 has combined framework and project skeleton code. To permit easier content management, this repository only includes Grav's user/ directory, which is where all of our custom content, themes, and assets live. See Grav Development with GitHub - Part 2 for more on this approach.

Installation

Complete Local Installation

This branch contains the documentation associated with the branch of the same name from userfrosting/userfrosting. See Website Installation Guide to install a complete instance of the docs with all versions available.

To install a single copy of this branch (without multiple versions available), multiple installation methods are available:

1. Local Installation
2. Docker

Local Installation

This guide does not cover setting up the webserver and assumes your host is already setup.

1. Install Grav and replace the user directory with this repository

   git clone https://github.com/getgrav/grav.git userfrosting-learn
   cd userfrosting-learn
   rm -r user
   git clone https://github.com/userfrosting/learn.git user
   

2. Install Grav

   bin/grav install
   

When you're done, the directory structure should look like this:

htdocs/
└── userfrosting-learn/
   ├── assets/
   ├── ...
   ├── user/
       ├── .git
       ├── accounts/
       ├── assets/
       ├── config/
       └── ...
   └── ...

Docker

1. Clone repo

   git clone https://github.com/userfrosting/learn.git userfrosting-learn
   cd userfrosting-learn
   

2. Build Grav container

   docker build -t learn:latest .
   

3. Start Grav container

   docker run -d --rm --name=learn -p 8888:80 -v "$(pwd):/var/www/grav/user" learn:latest
   

It will take a couples of second for the site to be up and running while the base Grav installation is done. Once this is complete, you can access the documentation at http://localhost:8888/.

To stop the container:

docker stop learn

To access Grav command line utility or gpm, you can use :

docker exec -it learn bash
chmod +x bin/gpm # This is only needed if permissions are acting up
bin/grav install
