Welcome to the website for the Pod Manager tool podman. This site features announcements and news around Podman, and occasionally other container tooling news.

The website runs on GitHub Pages via Jekyll to make it as convenient as possible for you to contribute.

Before you start, please verify that you've an entry for yourself in the top level _config.yml file in the authors section. Your entry should look like the following example. Please note if you do not have a gravatar, a twitter account or simply don't want to share a particular field, just leave the field blank or completely remove the particular line.

You can add blog posts by adding a file to the _posts folder. The file must use the following naming convention: yyyy-mm-dd-relevant-title-here.md. In the file itself, you will need to start with the following metadata:

---
title: <your title here>
layout: default
author: <author id, from the example above 'jsmith'>
categories: [blogs]
tags: <your tags here>
---
![podman logo](https://podman.io/images/podman.svg)

{% assign author = site.authors[page.author] %}
# My Blog Title
## By {{ author.display_name }} [GitHub](https://github.com/{{ author.github }}) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/{{ author.twitter }})

<yourtext in markdown format goes here, check out other blog posts if you're unsure how to proceed>

Please pay attention to the categories: [blogs] section. Currently, there are 4 categories available: [blogs], [releases], [talks] and [new].

NOTE: If you want to add a ':' (colon) to your title, you will need to instead use :, otherwise the post will not be displayed on the index page. For example:

Instead of:

title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?

use:

title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?

Finally if your blog is more than a paragraph or two long, please add this tag after the first or second paragraph:

<!--readmore-->

This will provide a preview on the blogs index page and the reader can read that first bit and then decide if they want to go in for a deeper dive.

dnf install ruby ruby-devel g++
gem install jekyll bundler
gem install github-pages

If you are running on a VM, you may need to open up port 4000 on your firewall

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=4000/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

First cd into your podman.io directory after having done a git clone of this project. Change or add the files that yow want to.

You can now test your changes locally, especially useful if you are making look/feel changes, by first running bundle install and then start the server by doing: bundle exec jekyll s. If you make follow up changes, you can use the bundle exec jekyll build in place of the bundle install command.

Then browse to http://127.0.0.1:4000 to view your changes.

If you run this on a VM, then use this command:

bundle exec jekyll serve --host 192.###.###.###   - IP Address of VM

And then you can attach to the server using your web brower, http://{IP.address}:4000. Note, you must use http and not https.
