# Apache Community Development website

This is the source code for the ASF Community Development PMC website, hosted at
[community.apache.org](https://community.apache.org)

To get in touch with that PMC please use the [dev@community.apache.org](https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@community.apache.org) mailing list.

The [events.apache.org](https://events.apache.org/) website is also managed by the Community Development PMC
but managed in the [comdev-events-site](https://github.com/apache/comdev-events-site) repository.

## Automated website publishing and staging

Changes to the `main` or `preview/*` branches of this repository trigger the [comdev-site Jenkins Job](https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Community%20Development/job/site/job/main/), which generates and pushes the website content.

There's currently (April 2020) a lag of about ten minutes for the corresponding Jenkins job to start, if you commit directly to the GitHub repository, but you can also start the job manually if you have the required Jenkins access rights.

For the `main` branch, the generated content is pushed to the `asf-site` branch, and
the [ASF's gitpubsub mechanism](https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/git_based_websites_available) then synchronizes that content to the live [community.apache.org](https://community.apache.org/) website, usually within a few seconds.

### Preview branches
Branches named `preview/<name>` are staged automatically, a branch named 
[preview/pmc-members](https://github.com/apache/comdev-site/tree/preview/pmc-members)
for example gets staged at
https://comdev-pmc-members.staged.apache.org/
as per [INFRA-26845](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-26845)

More details about the publication process can be found in the [ASF Documentation about Project sites](https://infra.apache.org/project-site.html). If for some reason this process fails, try making a dummy commit.

## Powered by Hugo!

The website uses Hugo as static website generator, see the [Hugo website](https://gohugo.io/) for more information
and for how to install and run it if needed.

Other Apache websites that are built with Hugo should be listed by [this GitHub query for the 'hugo' tag](https://github.com/search?q=topic%3Ahugo+org%3Aapache&type=Repositories).

## How to test the website and changes on your own computer

You need a recent version of `hugo`, to find out which one is used to deploy this site
look at the Jenkins build output, linked above.

To generate the static website, execute `hugo` to generate the website under `target/content` and execute
`npx -y pagefind --site target/content` to index the content for Pagefind (the search bar on the website).

During development, it may be useful to run an incremental build. For this to work, execute
`hugo server -D -d /tmp/comdev-generated-site` to continuously (re)generate and serve the website on `localhost:1313`
(-D means include draft pages). In another terminal, execute `npx -y pagefind --site /tmp/comdev-generated-site` to
index the site content for Pagefind (the search bar on the website).
