HALPI documentation repository

This is the HALPI documentation repository that is rendered to project documentation available at https://docs.hatlabs.fi/halpi/. HALPI is Hat Labs Raspberry Pi Boat Computer, a Raspberry Pi based boat computer for running Signal K, OpenPlotter, and various other open boating software and dashboards. HALPI is available for purchase at https://shop.hatlabs.fi.

Contributing

You can contribute to the documentation by cloning the repository, modifying the Markdown pages, and creating a Pull Request. Instructions for generic GitHub use can be found at The GitHub Guides.

The pages are rendered using Hugo, a modern static site generation framework. The Hugo theme in use is Docsy.

If you want to test your modifications locally, install Hugo and then run hugo server.

Docsy Example

Docsy is a Hugo theme module for technical documentation sites, providing easy site navigation, structure, and more. This Docsy Example Project uses the Docsy theme component as a hugo module and provides a skeleton documentation structure for you to use. You can clone/copy this project and edit it with your own content, or use it as an example.

In this project, the Docsy theme component is pulled in as a Hugo module, together with other module dependencies:

Using the Docsy Example Project as a template

A simple way to get started is to use this project as a template, which gives you a site project that is set up and ready to use. To do this:

Click Use this template.
Select a name for your new project and click Create repository from template.
Make your own local working copy of your new repo using git clone, replacing https://github.com/me/example.git with your repo’s web URL:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/me/example.git

You can now edit your own versions of the site’s source files.

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

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 docsy-example 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.

Build the docker image
```
docker-compose build
```
Run the built image
```
docker-compose up
```
NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.
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 docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

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 /
Built in 288 ms
Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache

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.
