Development Tool: Pelican (static site generator written in Python)

Development Environment: Ubuntu 20.04

1. On a fresh/clean installation of Ubuntu, update system first. Otherwise will get unable to locate package error. See this SO answer.

   $ sudo apt-get update

2. Install git and pip:

   $ sudo apt-get install git
   $ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

   From the answer in Ask Ubuntu, we can use python-is-python3 and prevent Python 2 from being installed on Ubuntu 20.04

   $ sudo apt-get install python-is-python3
   $ sudo apt-mark hold python2 python2-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal libpython2-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib

3. Install language packages to add locale (English, Traditional Chinese, and Thai):

   $ sudo apt-get install language-pack-en
   $ sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh-hant
   $ sudo apt-get install language-pack-th

   Or you can install languages in "Settings" -> "Region & Language", which installs more related packages such as fonts for languages.

4. git clone source code:

   $ cd
   $ mkdir dev
   $ cd ~/dev/
   $ git clone https://github.com/siongui/userpages.git --depth=1
   # or clone with full depth
   $ git clone https://github.com/siongui/userpages.git

5. Install Python tools:

   $ cd ~/dev/userpages/
   $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

   Note that in .travis.yml, pip is actually pip3 if bionic and python 3.8 is set in Travis CI config.

6. Install Pelican i18n_subsites plugin and download normalize.css:

   $ cd ~/dev/userpages/
   $ make download

7. Generate CSS file:

   $ cd ~/dev/userpages/
   $ make scss

# start edit and develope
$ cd ~/dev/userpages/
# re-generate the website and start dev server
$ make
# open your browser and preview the website at http://localhost:8000/

See GitHub Pages Deployment - Travis CI.

First save your personal access token in repository settings.

For User Pages, the following is sample config:

deploy:
  provider: pages
  repo: USERNAME/USERNAME.github.io
  target_branch: master
  skip_cleanup: true
  github_token: $GITHUB_TOKEN
  local_dir: output
  on:
    branch: master

For Project Pages, the following is sample config:

deploy:
  provider: pages
  skip_cleanup: true
  github_token: $GITHUB_TOKEN
  local_dir: output
  on:
    branch: master

See .gitlab-ci.yml.

1. Use Ubuntu image in Docker Hub. The ubuntu:latest tag points to the "latest LTS".
2. Need to update Ubuntu first to install Ubuntu packages. See this SO answer.
3. Travis CI can deploy to any repository, but need personal access token to do so. GitLab CI/CD can deploy to the repository where CI/CD runs without credentials.
