My Personal Website

website

Built with Zola
Deployed via Nix and Cloudflare
Hosted at maydayv7.dev

Build

You can grab all the required dependencies using nix develop github:maydayv7/dotfiles#website or nix-shell

For testing, run the following commands:

zola -r site check
zola -r site serve

Then click here

To build the site, run nix build .#website. The build also subsets webfonts, retaining text glyphs, ligatures, and Nerd icons referenced by generated HTML/CSS/JS.

To produce the same optimized assets from the site development shell:

cd site
zola build
python3 scripts/optimize_fonts.py public

To override the URL, run: 

nix build --impure --expr 'with (builtins.getFlake (toString ../.)).legacyPackages.x86_64-linux; callPackage ./site { site = "URL"; }'

Continuous Integration

GitHub Actions is used to automatically build the site and deploy it to Cloudflare
