Runbooks

The Manifesto

  • We are tired of haphazardly hunting through messy threads of GitHub issues and StackOverflow when we hit a problem

  • We don't want a one-off fix, we want to deepen our understanding of the problem space

  • We want to give people a resource where they can benefit from our experience in a scalable way

What

A collection of step by step guides for fixing common tech problems.

Requirements

Submodules

Hugo uses submodule for themes so when you are cloning this repository you should pass the --recursive flag:

git clone --recursive [email protected]:ContainerSolutions/runbooks.git

Running hugo locally

Docker

If you have docker compose installed you can simply call and you should see the blog at http://localhost:1313/runbooks/

$ docker-compose up

Alternatively, without docker compose:

$ docker build -t runbooks-hugo .
...
$ docker run -v $PWD:/src -p 1313:1313 -d runbooks-hugo

Local Install (runs really fast)

First install hugo then from this repository run:

hugo serve -D

Github pages deploy

The deploy to Github Pages is controlled by this action. The reference to this is found in .github/workflows/main.yml.

To update the key used

  1. create an SSH key and put the private key into a secret called GIT_DEPLOY_KEY here.
  2. add the public key as a deploy key with write access here.

More granular details are available on the action page.

Debugging

The Hugo docs can occasionally be a bit vague about what methods are available or what they return. There also seems to be quite a bit of push-back to adding general debugging tools. One user has created a theme that includes a partial and a shortcode to work around this limitation.

If you are working from inside a partial or layout file you can include the following partial and pass the property that you wish to inspect. I'm using .File in the example below.

{{ partial "debugprint.html" .File }}

This will show you various properties available via .File.

If working within a content file things are a lot more limited but you can pass the following variants to get appropriate output:

{{< debug "params" >}}
{{< debug "site" >}}
{{< debug param="title" >}}

but generally you will get more use when invoking the debugprint partial directly.

Adding content

Run:

hugo new posts/path/article-name.md

Then git add, commit, raise PR as normal.
