Scripts to automate the nilenso blog/planet (v2)
Install rbenv and add this to ~/.bash_profile:
brew install rbenv
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
Install rvm and run
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
rvm use ruby-3.0.0
You will probably need to close and re-open your shell after each of these commands, because Ruby.
rbenv instal 3.0.0
gem install bundler
bundle install
First, make your changes to planet.yml in the root directory. Then,
make clean && make
...that should be it. If you have trouble with planet.rb or Jekyll, fork those repos, make your change, and get a PR back into the mainline. This repository should only contain tiny wrapper scripts and configuration.
make serve
Push to master branch in the repo (built assets not required). The deploy script in server should pick up the changes, build assets and deploy them in some time.
Only a few plugins have been carried over from planet-nilenso. If an aspect of the blog/planet appears to be broken, look in the /plugins directory of planet-nilenso for anything suspicious we may have forgotten. The less we need from there the better, though.
New feeds can be added to the planet.yml under the blogs section. The configuration would look something as follows:
- author: "Akshay Gupta"
feed: "https://blog.kitallis.in/feeds/posts/default"
image: "https://nilenso.com/images/people/kitallis.webp"
twitter: "kitallis"
Feeds can be removed by removing the author configuration from the planet.yml file. This WILL NOT remove the older blog posts from these authors as they are added to the source/_posts directory
New tags can be added under the whitelisted_tags section in planet.yml.
Adding a new tag WILL ADD posts with this tag from all the active feeds. Thus historical posts will also be added from the active feeds.
