🙌 Deploying to Netlify

Netlify is a free service allowing you to deploy web applications for FREE without needing any server. You can get a custom .netlify.app domain name along with your site.

1. Get a Netlify account

Go to Netlify's website and create an account or log in.

2. Use the quick "Deploy to Netlify" button

3. Make changes on your Netlify configuration

4. Run the deploy process

Go to your Team settings > Your site > Builds and then, click on Retry deploy to deploy again with your new configuration.

5. Your site is live ✨

Check out your domain associated to your website to see your website rendered!

Edit the constants.py file under the /src folder to customize it and push to your GitHub repository. Netlify will automatically deploy and update your site.

⚙️ Local installation & running

Please note that if you deployed your site on Netlify, you don't need to do this part to install the site localy.

🟥 1. Open a terminal and clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/eri/Website.git

and then do cd Website

🟧 2. Install website dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

🟨 3. Customize the site with your own settings

Go to the /src folder and edit the constants.py file with your own settings

Note: If you would like to get a static version of your site, keep ssr as True.

If you would like to run a Flask server, change ssr as False. In that case, you can set a host (IP) and a port where the website will be run.

It's recommended to keep host as 0.0.0.0 if the address is pointing a local address. Feel free to change the port as you wish.

🟩 4. Start the website

Run the python3 run.py command on your terminal.

🟦 5. Your site is ready

If ssr in constants.py is False, a static version of the site has been generated in a new folder named /build.

If ssr in constants.py is True, your site will be available at the host:port that you specified. (http://localhost:8000/ by default)
