docker compose up extremely slow

[czhang96]

On a fresh version of the repo, docker compose up is extremely slow (takes ~5 min).
It seems that jekyll is hanging on this step specifically

jekyll-1 | Post-Convert Hooks: assets/css/main.css.map

If i add main.scss to the exludes, its much faster (but we lose all the styling)

Are you using the slim version or the regular one?

@pourmand1376 any ideas on this?

Hi.

The slim version only differs in size. Nothing else should be different.

How much styling do we lose? Can you send an image to see the cost?

main.scss is basically where all the styling of the site is loaded, so it can't be ignored.

I have one idea: try changing how both the font awesome and tabler icons are loaded. Comment their lines on assets/css/main.scss and add their import via cdn on _includes/head.liquid. See if that helps.

When building the main.scss we basically import the whole font awesome and tabler icons. This is actually better for 2 reasons:

• including files locally is faster than importing from a cdn
• when building for deploy, after purgecss does its job, we are left with only the icons that were actually used, so a lot of the css related to these fonts are discarded.
