This is a Sinatra app, deployed at http://docs.railsbridge.org. The RailsBridge documentation project is home to a few subprojects, including the RailsBridge installfest instructions, which leads students through the various complicated setup instructions for getting Ruby, Rails, Git, etc. installed on their computer (whatever combination of computer, OS, and version they happened to bring to the workshop!), as well as the RailsBridge workshop "Suggestotron" curriculum.
Each subproject (a "site") comprises files stored under the "sites" directory; for instance, the installfest instructions are located at ROOT/sites/en/installfest, while the intro rails curriculum can be found under ROOT/sites/en/intro-to-rails. (The "en" means "English" -- see "Locales" below.)
These files can be in any of these formats:
(If multiple files exist with the same base name, .step
is preferred over .md
, and .md
over .mw
.)
bundle install
rake run
If the above fails (say, because rerun
doesn't work on your system), try
rackup
Then open http://localhost:9292 in a web browser, and verify that you can navigate the installfest slides.
To serve sites from "sites/en", use rake run
or a vanilla deploy.
To server sites from another locale (say, "es" or Spanish)...
- Locally, use the SITE_LOCALE environment variable:
SITE_LOCALE=es rake run
- On a server, make the server respond to a locale subdomain:
http://es.railsbridge.org
- Or to temporarily test, use a
locale
orl
parameter:http://docs.railsbridge.org/?l=es
(note that in this mode, links are not rewritten, so if they fail you will have to manually add the parameter again)
