NOTE: Project moved to https://gitlab.com/getgnulinux/getgnulinux. This repository is archived and read-only.
This is the web application for the www.getgnulinux.org site. Get GNU/Linux! is a simple, clear website about GNU/Linux. What is GNU/Linux? Why not Windows? Tips to make the switch. With this website we hope to reach people who never heard about free software and barely remotely heard the word "Linux".
You can use Docker to setup a local build and test environment. You will first need to install Docker and Docker Compose.
Start the build environment with:
./docker/start.shThis should open a Bash shell inside the Docker container. Inside the container, initialize the build environment with:
./configure --localedir=/home/node/getgnulinux/docroot/locale/NOTE: These and other common commands are already in your Bash history. Use Arrow-Up to see them.
NOTE: If the above command gives you a "Permission denied" error, it is because you execute Docker with a user that has a UID other than 1000. The node user inside the Docker container uses UID 1000. To work around this issue, give user with UID 1000 read-write access to the project directory.
You should now be able to run make commands inside the container.
