#+TITLE: Guix website

The Guix website available at https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ is
a static website built with [[https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html][Haunt]].  This directory contains the source
files of the website.


* Development environment

This website is developed using the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/][GNU Guix]] package manager. Run the
following command to install all the software needed to build the
website:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  guix package -m manifest.scm
#+END_EXAMPLE

*Note*: the packages =guix= and =haunt= should have the same version of Guile,
otherwise building the website is slow and raises bunch of warnings.  The
manifest file takes care.

* Running the website

To try out the website locally while you work on it, run the following
commands:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  cd path/to/guix-artwork/website
#+END_EXAMPLE

** Build locally
#+begin_example
  LANG=en_US.UTF-8 GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL=yes guix environment -C -m manifest.scm \
                          -E LANG -E GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL  --share=/tmp         \
                          -- haunt build
#+end_example

Any other value than =GUIX_WEB_SITE_LOCAL=yes= will build the full website
considering all the packages and not a small subset.  Note that the final
website is built using the following command:

#+begin_example
  guix build -f .guix.scm
#+end_example

** Serve locally
#+begin_example
  LANG=en_US.UTF-8 guix environment -CN -m manifest.scm \
       -E LANG --share=/tmp                             \
       -- haunt serve -w
#+end_example

Then, visit http://localhost:8080/en/guix.html in a web browser.

You can stop the server pressing ~Ctrl + C~ twice.

See also the file i18n-howto.txt for information on working with
translations.

* Deploying

Like the pages of many GNU websites, this website is managed through
Savannah CVS.  To deploy the website it should be copied to the CVS
tree and then checked in.  The website will be updated automatically
once the files have been checked into CVS.

See https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=guix for information on how to
access Savannah CVS.

* Adding videos

To add more videos to the list in https://guix.gnu.org/en/videos/, do
the following:

1. Add new video or playlist records to the =videos= list defined in the
   =(apps media data)= module. Also add video tracks (subtitles and
   captions) if available. The Video, Playlist and Track data types
   are documented in the =(apps media types)= module.
2. For every new video, add the following files to the
   =website/static/media/videos/YYYY= directory, where =YYYY= is the
   year of publication of the video:

   1. A poster image of the video, =SLUG.webp=, where =SLUG= is the
      slug of the video defined in step 1.
   2. A 250x141 px miniature image based on the poster and called
      =SLUG.mini.webp=.
   3. Any subtitles and close caption files named using the format
      =SLUG-KIND.LANG.vtt=, where =SLUG= is the slug of the video, and
      =KIND= and =LANG= are the values of those attributes in the
      track record(s) defined for the video in step 1.
3. Run the website and check that the videos are displayed correctly.
