It turns out that creating a working Dockerfile is a massive pain, because the Ruby and Jekyll version used are very old and unsupported and this brings up all kind of issues.
I did manage to get it working in the end with some hacks and changes in the Jekyll configuration (https://github.com/apache/libcloud-site/blob/asf-staging/Dockerfile), but at this point it may actually make the most sense to try to redo the whole website from scratch using a new version of Jekyll and Ruby. I did try an incremental upgrade, but that didn't work out since there are tons of breaking changes and we also rely on custom plugins. ------- Original Message ------- On Sunday, March 27th, 2022 at 9:15 PM, Tomaz Muraus <to...@tomaz.me> wrote: > I just wanted to give everyone a heads up - I'm working on moving the website > source code from svn to git (finally!). > > New website repo location will be - https://github.com/apache/libcloud-site/ > (https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/libcloud-site.git). > > ASF website publishing infra does support building the website automatically > on push using jekyll, but that doesn't seem to work with our repo. > > I didn't dig in too much, but I assume it's likely related to old jekyll > version + extensions we depend on.
