The informational website for Grinnell AppDev

Development Environment

The site is static generally static. It is intended to run on an Apache server. To test the site, first build it with yarn build --no-optimize. Then install Docker, then run docker-compose up in the project root, which will create an Apache container with PHP support.

• To automatically rebuild when files are changed, run yarn start. This skips optimizations because they are slow.
• To build with production optimizations, run yarn build. Optimization is slow, so you generally only want to do this to make sure the optimization hasn't broken your code.

Production Environment

• Run yarn build every time you pull.
• Configure your Apache server with www as the document root.
• Be sure to add an Include directive for conf/site.conf in your virtual host configuration. conf/docker-apache.conf is a good example of a super basic virtual host config that does this.
• Add symlink src/public/wiki that points to your mediawiki installation.
• Optionally add symlink src/public/archive that points to an appropriate archive directory.
