Getting started

  1. Get Hugo: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing

  2. Clone this repo (--recursive is needed to check out submodules)

    git clone --recursive https://git.berlin.ccc.de/cccb-website-team/www.git cccb-website
    
  3. Switch directory

    cd cccb-website
    
  4. Run hugo webserver

    hugo serve
    
  5. Point your browser to: http://localhost:1313/

Every change you make on the project will be reflected in your browser as long as hugo serve is running.

The "Nächste Veranstaltungen" table on the home page and the calendar under /verein/calendar/ are rendered in the browser by assets/js/upcoming.js and assets/js/calendar.js. Both fetch /calendars/all.ics, which is not generated by Hugo and is not part of this repo — it is published separately on the web server. Without it both tables stay empty. Download the published calendar into static/, which Hugo serves under the same path, and they work locally, under hugo serve as well as in a built site:

mkdir -p static/calendars
curl -o static/calendars/all.ics https://berlin.ccc.de/calendars/all.ics

The file is only there to look at the site, it is not checked in. Download it again whenever you want the events that are currently published.

Hugo does generate an .ics feed per section (for example /veranstaltungen/index.ics) from the dtstart, dtend and rrule front matter of the pages in content/veranstaltungen/, using the .ics templates under layouts/.

To build the site for upload, run:

./build.sh

This deletes public/ and runs hugo with the parameters from .hugo-params.

To build with nix: nix build '.?submodules=1#production-content'

Making a change

  1. Use your local dev setup (see Getting started) or via the Forgejo editor.
  2. Make your change in staging branch.
  3. Commit (and push) your change.
  4. GitHub Actions is running the release workflow.
  5. Create a merge request to merge changes from staging to production branch. Ask somebody to check merge request or if small change, merge yourself.
  6. GitHub Actions is running the release workflow.
    • If successfull, check Website if change is correct.
  7. Profit!

Nix stuff

  • After entering the shell with nix develop, hugo is available and hugo serve and ./build.sh should work
  • You can build the staging and production builds with nix build .#staging-content and nix build .#production-content
  • Do not update the nixpkgs branch - 25.05 contains a newer hugo version that is incompatible with the theme (last checked June 2025)

Made with ❤️ and Hugo.
