||||
Migrating from [GitLab Pages](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/) (or *put any name here*) to a private webserver has one main advantage: to be in control of *all its data*. |
||||

## Problems |
||||
|
||||
You have most certainly read or heard that self-hosting a website is a very bad idea because: |
||||
|
||||
- it might pose security risks |
||||
- it is unreliable |
||||
- it is hard to maintain |
||||
- etc... |
||||
|
||||
and all of that is true. For this specific website I don't care. It is *just* a blog... |
||||
|
||||
## Howtos |
||||
|
||||
Up until now I used a system called [Gitlab CI/CD](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/). Every time I committed to the git repository |
||||
a Docker worker would rebuild the website. That usually took from 3 to 5 minutes! |
||||
|
||||
Since this website is generated using [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) |
||||
I followed [this guide](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/deployment/automated/#git-post-receive-hook) but |
||||
created a new file called `hooks/post-receive` which is a little different to the one in the tutorial: |
||||
|
||||
```shell |
||||
#!/bin/bash -l |
||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Install Ruby Gems to ~/gems |
||||
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems |
||||
export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH |
||||
|
||||
TMP_GIT_CLONE=$HOME/tmp/myrepo |
||||
GEMFILE=$TMP_GIT_CLONE/Gemfile |
||||
PUBLIC_WWW=/var/www/blog.frnmst.duckdns.org |
||||
|
||||
git clone $GIT_DIR $TMP_GIT_CLONE |
||||
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=$GEMFILE bundle install |
||||
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=$GEMFILE bundle exec jekyll build --trace --strict_front_matter --verbose --safe -t -s $TMP_GIT_CLONE -d $PUBLIC_WWW |
||||
rm -Rf $TMP_GIT_CLONE |
||||
exit |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Moreover, before running that git hook: |
||||
|
||||
1. install ruby: `apt-get install ruby ruby-dev` |
||||
2. login as the deploy user |
||||
3. add this to its `~/.profile`: |
||||
|
||||
```shell |
||||
export GEM_HOME="$(ruby -e 'puts Gem.user_dir')" |
||||
export PATH="$PATH:$GEM_HOME/bin" |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
4. install bundle: `gem install bundle` |
||||
|
||||
That's it. |
