Brooklyn Website source

Contributor worflow

The contributor workflow is identical to that used by the main project, with the exception of the different repository - incubator-brooklyn-site instead of incubator-brooklyn. Therefore you should familiarise yourself with the standard workflow for Apache Brooklyn:

Workstation setup

First, clone the incubator-brooklyn-site repository and set up the remotes as described in Guide for committers.

Install RVM; this manages Ruby installations and sets of Ruby gems.

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

At this point, close your shell session and start a new one, to get the new environment that RVM has configured. Now change directory to the location where you checked out your repository, and then to the _scripts subdirectory.

RVM should detect its configuration inside Gemfile and try to configure itself. Most likely it will report that the required version of Ruby is not installed; it will show the command that you need to run to install the correct version. Follow these instructions.

Once the correct version of Ruby is installed, change to your home directory (cd ~) and then change back to the repository again (cd -). This will cause RVM to re-load configuration from Gemfile with the correct version of Ruby.

If you are running Ubuntu, there is a further dependency that is required:

sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev

Finally, run this command inside _scripts to install all the required Gems in the correct versions:

bundle install

Anytime you need to reset your Ruby environment for jekyll to run correctly, return to the _scripts directory and re-run the above command.

Building and previewing the website

Using Jekyll's in-built server

Run the command:

jekyll serve --watch

This will start up a local web server. The URL is printed by Jekyll when the server starts, e.g. http://localhost:4000/brooklyn/ . The server will continue to run until you press Ctrl+C. Modified files will be detected and regenerated (but that might take up to 1m). Leave off the --watch argument to abandon that behaviour, or use jekyll build instead to generate a site in _site without a server, for instance if your browser supports running from disk.

Combining with Brooklyn user-manual / version docs

TODO: Some links should come from the incubator-brooklyn/docs/ project. They can run in debug mode on a different port.

Building and publishing the website

Run this script:

./_scripts/build-for-publication

This will run Jekyll with the correct base URL for the live website and place the output in the _site directory.

The Apache website publication process is based around the Subversion repository; the generated HTML files must be checked in to Subversion, whereupon an automated process will publish the files to the live website.

Starting in a suitable directory, check out the website directory from the repository:

svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/brooklyn/site incubator-brooklyn-site-public
cd incubator-brooklyn-site-public

Synchronise the generated site into the Subversion working copy - please amend this command to include the correct paths for your setup:

rsync -rv --delete --exclude .svn --exclude v ~/incubator-brooklyn-site/_site/ ~/incubator-brooklyn-site-public

Review the changes using the usual svn commands - e.g., status, diff, add, rm, etc.

Once you are ready to publish, commit the changes to Subversion:

svn ci -m 'Update Brooklyn (incubating) website'

The changes will become live within a few minutes.
