openmower.de

This is the source code for the openmower.de website.

If you find some issues with the documentation or want to add to it, please fork this repo and open a pull request.

It's a good idea to tell me that you are working on some part of the website. This maximises the chance, that your changes will be merged to the website.

Running the website locally

Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo. You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our Getting started guide.

Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:

hugo server

Running a container locally

You can run openmower.de inside a Docker container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other than Docker Desktop on Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose on Linux.

1. Build the docker image

   docker-compose build

2. Run the built image

   docker-compose up

   NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

3. Verify that the service is working.

   Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the openmower.de homepage. You can now make changes to the website and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save (not on Windows though. Hot reload only works on the non-dockerized hugo!).

Cleanup

To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.

To remove the produced images run:

docker-compose rm

For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

➜ hugo server

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Or you may encounter the following error:

➜ hugo server

Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found

This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
