This repository contains the source files of [fsfe.org](https://fsfe.org), pdfreaders.org, freeyourandroid.org, ilovefs.org, drm.info, and test.fsfe.org.
Our web team has compiled some information about technology used for this website on the [Information for Webmasters](https://fsfe.org/contribute/web/) page.
## Structure
Most files are XHTML files organised in a rather logical folder structure.
Join them to spread the message of our community in all over Europe and beyond. The [translators team page](https://fsfe.org/contribute/translators/) will introduce you to their amazing work.
There are two ways to build and develop the directory locally. Initial builds of the webpages may take ~40 minutes, but subsequent builds should be much faster. Using the `--languages` flag to avoid building all supported languages can make this much faster. See ./build/README.md for more information.
Alterations to build scripts or the files used site-wide will result in near full rebuilds.
### Native
We can either install the required dependencies manually using our preferred package manager. If you are a nix use one can run `nix-shell` to enter a shell with the required build dependencies.
The required binary names are
```
realpath rsync xsltproc xmllint sed find egrep grep wc make tee date iconv wget shuf python3
After getting the dependencies one way or another we can actually build and serve the pages.
The pages can be built and served by running `./build.sh`. Try `--help` for more information. The simple web server used lacks the features of `apache` which used on the FSFE web servers. This is why no index is automatically selected form and directory and other behaviors.
### Docker
Simply running `docker compose run --service-ports build --serve` should build the webpages and make them available over localhost.
Some more explanation: we are essentially just using docker as a way to provide dependencies and then running the build script. All flags after `build` are passed to `build.sh`. The `service-ports` flag is required to open ports from the container for serving the output, not needed if not using the `--serve` flag of the build script.
Please note that files generated during the build process using docker are owned by root. This does not cause issues unless you with to manually alter the output or switch to native building instead of docker.
If you wish to switch to native building after using docker, you must use `sudo git clean -fdx` to remove the files generated using docker.
## Testing
While most small changes can be tested adequately by building locally some larger changes, particularly ones relating to the order pages, event registration and other forms may require more integrated testing. This can be achieved using the `test` branch. This branch is built and served in the same way as the main site, [fsfe.org](https://fsfe.org). The built version of the `test` branch may be viewed at [test.fsfe.org](https://test.fsfe.org).
## Status Viewing
