2022.ploneconf.org

Quick start

Requirements

• Python 3.9
• Node 16 / yarn
• Docker

Install

git clone [email protected]:plone/ploneconf.org.git
cd ploneconf.org
make install
make create-site

Start

Start the Backend (http://localhost:8080/)

make start-backend

Start the Frontend (http://localhost:3000/)

make start-frontend

Structure

This monorepo is composed by two distinct codebases: api and frontend.

• backend: API (Backend) Plone installation using pip (not buildout). Includes a policy package named ploneconf.core
• frontend: React (Volto) package named ploneconf

Reasoning

• Repo contains all codebase needed to run the 2022.ploneconf.org (excluding existing addons for Plone and React).
• Github Workflows are triggered based on changes on each codebase (see .github/workflows)
• Easier to create Docker images for each codebase
• Showcase Plone installation/setup without buildout

Notes

If the site does not start correctly, it may be because of a race condition. As a temporary workaround, stop the back ends then start them up one at a time.

Useful commands:

• docker stack ps plone
• docker service scale plone_backend=0
• docker service scale plone_backend=1
• docker service scale plone_backend=2
