TMS:Website Development Log: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 18:41, 31 March 2019

This is a development log for the main Mars Society website.

The most recent version of the website (v6) was designed by James Burk and Shawna Armstrong.

Local Workstation Setup

OS: I use Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10. Set this up by downloading Ubuntu 18.04 from the Windows Store.
Locally installed tools:
- Windows:
  - Visual Studio Code
  - Filezilla
  - HeidiSQL
  - Git for Windows
- Ubuntu (within WSL)
  - Apache
  - NPM / Node
  - Gulp
  - Git
  - WP-CLI

I create a C:\Sites folder with Windows Explorer and associate that within Ubuntu by using "ln -s" to make it ~/Sites.

I set up the local Apache to host a domain such as "marssociety.test" to point to localhost with that ~/Sites directory. This allows me to easily use a browser in Windows 10 to test the local instance of the site, running on Apache.
