This repository contains the source files for our public Tech Blog (tech.zalando.com).
Create (or copy) a ".rst" file in the "posts" folder. All new blog posts will be written in plain text reStructured Text format (very similar to Markdown, but extensible and therefore more powerful):
- http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
- http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html
- http://getnikola.com/quickstart.html
Please make sure your blog post contains all necessary meta information (in the header):
- author name ("..author: Henning Jacobs")
- teaser image ("..image: my-example-image.jpg")
You need Git and Docker to build static HTML (should also work now with latest version of boot2docker and Docker 1.3+):
$ git clone https://github.com/zalando/tech.zalando.com.git
$ cd tech.zalando.com
$ docker run -v $(pwd):/workdir -t hjacobs/nikola build
Now open the generated HTML files in the "output" directory.
You can also use the provided Makefile to achieve the same:
$ make clean
$ make
