Hauke Mehrtens b11d80aac2 README: describe the calendar as it is built today
`build.sh` no longer post-processes anything: since the switch to ICS files it
just deletes `public/` and runs `hugo`. The `CALENDAR` placeholder, the Python
dependency on `icalendar`, `python-dateutil` and `pytz`, and the `de_DE.UTF-8`
locale requirement are all gone, and nothing in `packages.nix`, `devShells.nix`
or `flake.nix` pulls in Python any more. Drop those claims.

Describe instead where the two calendar views actually come from: the
"Nächste Veranstaltungen" table and the calendar page are rendered in the
browser from `/calendars/all.ics`, which is published next to the site and is
not built from this repository. That also replaces the old advice to preview
them via `./build.sh` plus a local HTTP server, which no longer helps.

Without that file the two of them stay empty. Hugo serves everything below
`static/` from the root of the site, so it can simply be put there, and the
command that downloads it is worth writing down. Checked from an empty state:
afterwards the file is served under `/calendars/all.ics` by `hugo serve` and the
table on the start page fills with the upcoming events. It is a copy of
published data and has no business in the repository, so ignore it.

Mention the per-section `.ics` feeds Hugo does generate, so the ICS templates
under `layouts/` are not mistaken for the source of `all.ics`.

# CCCB Website
This is the website of the CCCB.
![CCCB logo](assets/img/logo.png)
## Getting started
1. Get Hugo: <https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing>
2. Clone this repo (`--recursive` is needed to check out submodules)
```shell
git clone --recursive https://git.berlin.ccc.de/cccb-website-team/www.git cccb-website
```
3. Switch directory
```shell
cd cccb-website
```
4. Run hugo webserver
```shell
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 `static/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:
```shell
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:
```shell
./build.sh
```
This deletes `public/` and runs `hugo` with the parameters from `.hugo-params`. To build with *nix* instead:
`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.~~
- If successful, check [Staging Website](https://staging.berlin.ccc.de/) if change is correct.
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](https://berlin.ccc.de/) 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)
