Source code for riot-os.org

Building

Make sure you have Jekyll and Bundle installed (see https://jekyllrb.com/docs/). Python 3.6+ is also required.

Then run

bundle

to install all further dependencies.

Run make build. This will create a directory _site. To watch for file changes and trigger a rebuild, you can set the environment variable WATCH:

WATCH=1 make build`.

To build for production environment set the environmental variable PRODUCTION:

PRODUCTION=1 make build

Serving

Run make serve. The site will be available at http://localhost:4000

Updating RIOT-related data

All RIOT-related data rendered in the website (e.g. statistics, contributors and board list) is parsed from the RIOT repository and the GitHub API at build time using a custom Python script (requires Python 3.6+).

To update this data run make update_riot_data.

To fetch the list of RIOT contributor, install the "requests" Python package using make install_python_requirements

Local RIOT repo

You can specify where your local RIOT repo is located by defining the RIOTBASE environment variable. When the variable is not defined the repo will be cloned into the project folder.

Github Token

In order to update the list of contributors requests to the Github API are performed. If no token is provided then you may run into restrictions on the amount of times you can update the list. To provide the token define the environment variable GITHUB_TOKEN with the value of the token.

Adding companies

Companies display their logos on the logo wall. To add a new company a new entry in _data/companies.yml is needed. Each company needs a unique key to be referenced. Place the logo under assets/img/companies. The needed data to add a company is:

• name: Display name of the company
• logo: Path to the logo, relative to assets/img/companies/.
• url: URL to the company website

Adding Use Cases

Use cases are displayed as cards in the Users section. They also have their own page that describes in detail the use case. Use cases are a collection. To add a new one, create a new file in the _use_cases directory. The first lines will contain the metadata of the use case in YAML format. This section must have lines before and after containing ---. Following the metadata, place the main content in Markdown format.

Use cases will contain a quote. You will need a photo of the author of the quote, place it under assets/img/use-cases/user-photos. Each use case must be associated to a company (see #adding-companies).

The metadata required for an use case is the following:

• project: Project title (used as title of the page)
• quote: Quote from the user
• user: Author of the quote
• user_position: Position of the user in the company
• user_photo: Path to the user photo, relative to assets/img/use-cases/
• company: key of the company in companies.yml (see #adding-companies)

Blog

For now the blog is not published. For local development you can render the blog section by setting blog to true in _config.yml.
