This is a little project to make a service which helps people maintain a personal portfolio website, which shows off their personal projects.
The web server is written in Go, and the frontend uses React. Continuous integration/deployment
is provided by by CircleCI. You can see build status for previous builds on that page, and the configuration file for running the builds/deployment in /circle.yml.
I'm running the site (http://markdown.ninja) on Google's Container Engine in a three node kubernetes cluster. Since the system has to host and serve files, those are served by GlusterFS. The database of user data is stored in Redis.
Docker images for the project (only about 10 MB in size!) are hosted here: https://hub.docker.com/r/colinmerkel/portfolio (that was the old name of this project). The docker images are so small because I'm using FROM scratch in my Dockerfile, and a statically linked go binary as the server.
Feel free to send a PR if you want a feature added/fixed! One thing I would like in particular is new styles. If you want to contribute new styles, you can do so by:
- Creating a file under /web/css/webstyles of the form
<STYLE NAME>.css. - All of the rules in the stylesheet should be prefixed with the
.md_containerclass. Take a look at the existing stylesheets to get an idea of what I mean by this. - Make sure your stylesheets look sensible on both mobile and desktop.
Also, if you want to contribute an example of a site made using markdown.ninja for the front page,
you can add a screenshot of your site under /web/img/.
Using markdown.ninja is free for everyone. But it costs money to host the service. If you want to contribute a few dollars toward the hosting costs of the site, consider doing so using PayPal. All of the donations go toward hosting costs. Thanks!
