The FRRouting site is powered by Hugo, a static-site generator.

Hugo and git are the only dependencies (aside from the web-server) and can be installed via:
apt-get install hugo git
If Hugo is not available in the system package manager it may be easily installed as a Go binary according to Hugo's install instructions.
All releases are documented in content/release/. To add a new release, simply
copy an old release file and edit its contents to reflect the new release
version, date and changelog.
The site is entirely static and consequently only needs to be generated when
changes are made to the source directory. These steps will clone the templating
code and generate HTML pages in www/ for webserver hosting:
cd /var/www
sudo git clone [email protected]:FRRouting/frr-www.git
cd frr-www
# Simple testing w/o nginx
hugo --bind 0.0.0.0 server
# Build webpages in www/
hugo
Ensure the correct permissions on the new directories:
sudo addgroup frr-web
sudo addgroup ${USER} frr-web
sudo chgrp -R frr-web /var/www/frr-www
sudo chmod g+s /var/www/frr-www
sudo chmod g+s /var/www/frr-www/www/community
sudo chmod g+s /var/www/frr-www/www/user-guide
Finally, install the encrypted SSL certs. NOTE: Installation of SSL certs requires GPG password.
cd /var/www/frr-www
sudo cp nginx/frr.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/frr.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/frr.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/frr.conf
sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/ssl
sudo cp nginx/frrouting.ssl.tar.gpg /etc/nginx/ssl
cd /etc/nginx/ssl
sudo gpg frrouting.ssl.tar.gpg
sudo tar xf frrouting.ssl.tar
sudo chmod u=rw *
Restart the web server and (assuming you have some files in www/ everything
should come up as expected!
sudo service nginx restart
It may also be possible to automate this workflow using Git hooks.
