Infra:websiteinfosec
The website of Infosec team is accessible at this address infosec.unamur.be.
Technical Specification
The site is built using Jekyll (a static site generator based on Ruby) and it uses markdown to format text.
The website source file is stored on a git repository https://forge.infosec.unamur.be/infrastructure/team_front_page_website.
The git repository has two main branches:
- master: contains a production ready site
- dev: contains some experimental features
The website is deployed as a docker container on doc server. There are two instances running: one is the production instance and another contains a dev version of the site which can be only accessible within the university.
Modification of the site
To modify the site, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository https://forge.infosec.unamur.be/infrastructure/team_front_page_website
- Make changes
- Commit the changes
- Push it back to server
- The site will be rebuilt and deployed on server at each commit.
In case you want to test your changes first, after cloning the repository switch to branch dev. This will also trigger the build and deploy the dev version of the site which can be accessible at this location: http://138.48.246.5:8888/
Site structure
The website uses minima template Theme preview and is built on Bootstraps.
