pub.solar homepage

This is the repository containing the code for https://pub.solar.

It is built using lume with JSX. To get started, make sure you have the nix package manager installed. Then you can start developing with:

Quick start

nix develop

This will use a nix devshell to create an environment that has deno and lume available.

An alternative approach for loading all dependencies is direnv. It basically runs nix develop for you, once you enter a directory which contains a .envrc file and allow it by running direnv allow. Once installed globally, run:

direnv allow

To get a live development server, run

deno task serve

Unfortunately, hot module reloading is currently broken for JSX modules, so you'll need to restart this process regularly during development.

Updating Open Sans

To update the font files and CSS, run google-font-downloader $FONT_CSS_URL. As "documentation" flake.nix shows the internals, and _includes/styles/typography.css has a comment at the top that shows which command was used to generate it.

Deployment

Our Drone CI is configured to deploy the main branch to the production website. To integrate any changes, first create a pull request, which will be reviewed. After merging it, the new version will get deployed automatically.

Troubleshooting

When running deno task serve, if you see an error message like:

NotFound: No such file or directory (os error 2): stat '/home/<user>/.../git.pub.solar/pub-solar/pub.solar/.direnv/flake-inputs/5acdh8xyry0kdvp6xla2hw7wf3zkphkl-source/pkgs/test/nixpkgs-check-by-name/tests/symlink-invalid/pkgs/by-name/fo/foo/foo.nix'

try removing the .direnv directory:

rm -rf .direnv
deno task serve

Another common error message after updating dependencies is:

22.31 error: The source code is invalid, as it does not match the expected hash in the lock file.

To recreate the deno lock file, run

deno cache --lock=deno.lock --lock-write _config.ts
