'Shell' App for Jamstack Apps

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates Nope, but I guess you could put the link to the source in the articles. I know what you mean though.

[jdaviescoates]

@marcusquinn just found this https://docs.v1engineering.com/mkdocs_info/ which looks like an example of what I'm looking for, so must be doable.

The question now is could I use some nice a lightweight like Gitea instead of Github or Gitlab...

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates I like GitLab a lot but we use for the full CI/CD stuff. I'm keen to try Gitea & Drone at some point though.

[jdaviescoates]

@marcusquinn yeah GitLab is great, I just don't actually need it yet and it's quite resource intensive - so would be a bit bonkers to install it just to serve static documentation files!

That example I found was using Material and it seems if using GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket the edit button is automagic:

https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/adding-a-git-repository/#edit-button

So I guess should be possible to use Gitea by editing the edit path setting..

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates Yeah, honestly GitLab is a beast. I'd start with Gitea from what I can see, much lighter and I'm sure would do all you'd need. Easy enough to switch later but I just have so much in GitLab.com I never get round to much else.

What's the best/ easiest way to achieve this on Cloudron? Is it possible? (I'm guessing/ hoping yes).

I think bookstack and wikijs is the closest.

@marcusquinn The workflow for Gitea + Drone on cloudron is quite nice actually with felix's package. Personally I'm still for GitLab for its really good devops and project manaement features. And that it actually looks half decent when accessing it on mobile lol

If you guys want I can make a guide for Gridsome (or any other SSG platform) + Gitlab/Gitea + CI + Surfer. Its really quite simple once you get the hang of it.

@atrilahiji please do

Thanks, I've played with both of those and didn't like either of them.

mkdocs seems to be the way forward...

I put together a rather rough/rambly video about JAMstack on cloudron using Gridsome + GitLab CI + Surfer: https://video.lahijiapps.dev/videos/watch/3540b0bb-553f-43bb-8087-fa8e26fd0d46

Let me know if there are questions. Yes I know I look around a lot when I'm nervous and I ramble

[nebulon]

@atrilahiji This is great, can we maybe add this to our peertube instance somehow as well? Not actually sure how we can "link" this, but would be nice if it can also be discovered through our instance

[A Former User]

@nebulon For sure! I can send DM you with a link to download it. Gotta throw the video up on my nextcloud first. If theres a way to do this via federated access we can try that but I haven't dabbled with that in Peertube yet.

[nebulon]

@atrilahiji actually I made our instance follow yours and you either manually or automatically approved that already, now your video is also listed at https://videos.cloudron.io/videos/trending

I also enabled redundancy between your instance and ours, no clue what that means yet, but sounds great!

[A Former User]

@nebulon Oh cool, thanks! I am definitely open to making more guide for things if needed. I definitely need to be more concise though.

[marcusquinn]

@atrilahiji Just watched - very cool!

Does peertube allow for making "friends" from one instance to another?

I have mine setup at https://peertube.marcusquinn.com (although only private videos for friends & family at the mo)

[A Former User]

@marcusquinn unsure. I know you can sub? But not sure about a friends system.

[thetomester13]

@atrilahiji thanks for documenting that! Looks like I have a good bit of digging in to do when it comes to GitLab and its CI/CD features!

Also, I love your setup! The changing lights in the background definitely added to the video

[A Former User]

@thetomester13 I'm glad it was helpful! It was a fairly opinionated guide in that I specifically chose Gridsome for the SSG and GitLab/Gitlab CI for the git and CI platforms. But these steps can be adapted to other platforms.

And yes I find the colour cycling philips hue lights incredibly relaxing while I work
