## GitLab CI
|
|
|
|
This project's static Pages are built by [GitLab CI][ci], following the steps
|
|
defined in [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](.gitlab-ci.yml):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
image: registry.gitlab.com/paddy-hack/nikola
|
|
|
|
test:
|
|
script:
|
|
- nikola build
|
|
except:
|
|
- master
|
|
|
|
pages:
|
|
script:
|
|
- nikola build
|
|
artifacts:
|
|
paths:
|
|
- public
|
|
only:
|
|
- master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This uses the `registry.gitlab.com/paddy-hack/nikola` Docker image,
|
|
which provides Nikola with all its extras, to build the site.
|
|
|
|
## Building locally
|
|
|
|
To work locally with this project, you can follow the steps below:
|
|
|
|
1. Fork, clone or download this project
|
|
1. [Install][] Nikola
|
|
1. Generate the website: `nikola build`
|
|
1. Preview your project: `nikola serve`
|
|
1. Add content
|
|
|
|
Read more at Nikola's [documentation][].
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the `registry.gitlab.com/paddy-hack/nikola`
|
|
Docker image. See the associated project's [README][image-readme] for
|
|
more information.
|
|
|
|
## GitLab User or Group Pages
|
|
|
|
To use this project as your user/group website, you will need one additional
|
|
step: just rename your project to `namespace.gitlab.io`, where `namespace` is
|
|
your `username` or `groupname`. This can be done by navigating to your
|
|
project's **Settings**.
|
|
|
|
Read more about [user/group Pages][userpages] and [project Pages][projpages].
|
|
|
|
## Using a different branch
|
|
|
|
If you keep code on the `master` branch and want the website on a different one,
|
|
for example a `blog` branch, then you must make the corresponding change
|
|
on the `pages` job in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
only:
|
|
- blog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Did you fork this project?
|
|
|
|
If you forked this project for your own use, please go to your project's
|
|
**Settings** and remove the forking relationship, which won't be necessary
|
|
unless you want to contribute back to the upstream project.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
1. CSS is missing! That means one of two things:
|
|
|
|
Either that you have set up the CSS URL in your templates incorrectly, or
|
|
your static generator has a configuration option that needs to be set explicitly
|
|
in order to serve static assets under a relative URL.
|
|
|
|
1. Building passes but deploy stage fails.
|
|
|
|
Nikola's default configuration will by default build the site in the `output` directory,
|
|
but GitLab expects it in `public`. So you must change
|
|
`OUTPUT_FOLDER = "public"` in `conf.py` or deploying will fail.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can add `mv output public` in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file
|
|
after the `nikola build` line.
|
|
|
|
If you cloned this project as your starting point, then `conf.py` is already updated
|
|
to build in the `public` directory.
|
|
|
|
1. I get a strange lexer exception
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are probably using extensions that require software not included in the `registry.gitlab.com/paddy-hack/nikola` image.
|
|
For example, if your site has Ipython/Jupyter posts
|
|
(that is, `.ipynb` format via `POSTS` or `PAGES` in `conf.py` )
|
|
GitLab build won't be able to compile them, even if you locally can.
|
|
|
|
The `registry.gitlab.com/paddy-hack/nikola` image includes the `nikola[extras]` but not any
|
|
additional software (like `ipython`, `pandoc`, `latex`, or any software you may
|
|
have on your local system) that your extensions may require.
|
|
|
|
The fix is to install any extra software you need before building.
|
|
In the case of `.ipynb` support, edit the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file and change
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pages:
|
|
script:
|
|
- pip3 install jupyter
|
|
- nikola build
|
|
```
