info.codetalk.io

Hakyll website for the info.codetalk.io site.

Quick walkthrough of Hakyll

If you change something in site.hs, then it needs to be recompiled, using GHC. Everything else, should just need a rebuild via Hakyll.

$ stack install

After this, rebuilding the site is as simple as,

$ ./hakyll rebuild

or, alternatively use watch to launch a preview server while developing,

$ ./hakyll watch

Compiling .scss

For the initial compile, use,

$ sass css/main.scss:css/main.css

and while developing, you can automatically compile it using,

$ sass --watch css/main.scss:css/main.css

NOTE: that these are actually be compiled on the build, by hakyll itself.

Uploading the site

To remove some of the hassle associated with updating the site, a git pre-push hook can be created.

Copy the following into .git/hooks/pre-push and chmod +x pre-push to make it executable.

# Get the project root
rootDir=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)

# Clean and build the site
$rootDir/hakyll clean
$rootDir/hakyll build

# Upload (rsync) the site to the remote server
rsync -rave ssh $rootDir/_site/* ec2-user@codetalk:/usr/share/nginx/info.codetalk.io
--delete-after

# Set the right permissions on the images folder
ssh ec2-user@codetalk "chmod -R +rx /usr/share/nginx/info.codetalk.io/images"

403 on images

This is caused by missing permissions, and can be fixed by running chmod -R +rx /usr/share/nginx/info.codetalk.io/images on the folder on the server.
