# Website Template
This repository is a **template** for the platform's websites. It ships as a
complete, buildable reference site whose identity is the neutral placeholder
**`Site`** / **`site`**. You generate a real site from it in two steps: create
a fresh repository, then run the bootstrap script to stamp in your site's
display name, slug, and canonical URL.

| `Makefile` | Bootstrap convenience only (`make bootstrap`); removed by the script. |
All four packages are **vendored**, not fetched: the service depends on them by
relative path, so each generated repository owns its own copy. That is
deliberate — a generated site is fully self-contained and can diverge freely.
The trade-off is that engine fixes are propagated to existing sites by hand (or
by re-generating and porting content).

## Requirements
- Swift 6.3 toolchain (every manifest is `swift-tools-version:6.3`).
- Docker — optional, for the containerized run/deploy workflow.
- The Hummingbird CLI (`hb`) — optional, only for `make site-run`.
- Docker — optional: the containerized run/deploy workflow, the local PostgreSQL
instance (`make db-mount`), and the asset-optimization preview.
- Hummingbird CLI (`hb`) — optional, only for `make site-run`.

## Generating a new site
### 1. Create a repository from this template
On Gitea, mark this repository as a template once (repository **Settings
Template → “Template” checkbox**). New sites are then created with the
**“Use this template”** button, which produces a fresh repository with its own
history — no template commits carried over.
On Gitea, mark this repository as a template once (**Settings → Template
“Template”**); new sites then come from the **“Use this template”** button, each
with its own history.
> No Gitea button? Just clone this repo, `rm -rf .git`, and continue — the
> bootstrap script offers to re-initialise git for you.

### 2. Bootstrap
Clone the new repository, then from its root run:
From the new repository's root:
```sh
make bootstrap # or: ./Scripts/bootstrap
```
You'll be asked for:
| Prompt | Example | Rewrites |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Site display name** (PascalCase) | `Loud` | Server name (`LoudWebsite`), `Loud.xcodeproj`, README title. |
| **Project slug** (lowercase) | `loud-ams` | Container owner, database name/user, Compose project name. |
| **Canonical site URL** (scheme + host) | `https://loud.amsterdam` | The `Sitemap:` reference in `robots.txt` and the `<loc>` entry in `sitemap.xml`. |
The canonical URL defaults to the reserved placeholder `https://site.example.com`;
leaving it there is allowed (the script warns), so you can bootstrap before the
domain is decided and set it later in the two crawler files.
The script rewrites the placeholder occurrences in place, renames
`Site.xcodeproj`, optionally starts a fresh git history, and then removes
itself along with this file and the root `Makefile`. It refuses to run outside
the repository root, and validates the URL before touching anything — a
rejected value leaves the tree untouched, so it is safe to re-run.
Accepting the default display name (`Site`) is supported: the rename is skipped
and the placeholders simply stay in place.
- The URL defaults to the reserved `https://site.example.com`; leaving it is
allowed (the script warns) and can be corrected later in the two crawler files.
- Keeping the default display name `Site` is allowed too: the Xcode rename is
skipped and the placeholders stay in place.
- The script refuses to run outside the repository root and validates the URL
before writing, so a rejected value leaves the tree untouched.
- It rewrites in place, renames `Site.xcodeproj`, optionally starts a fresh git
history, then deletes itself, this file, and the root `Makefile`.
### 3. Fill in the content
Bootstrap leaves reminders, but in short:
1. **Copy & localization**`Services/Website/Sources/Library/Catalogs/Localizable.xcstrings`
(English only out of the box) and the landing / 404 pages under
`Services/Website/Sources/Library`.
2. **Static assets**`Services/Website/Resources/Static` (CSS, JS, favicon, icons).
The manifest's `name` / `short_name` are empty and are not rewritten by bootstrap.
3. **Head metadata** — the pages ship no `summary`, `canonicalURL`, `socialCard`, or
`structuredData`, so there is no meta description, no link preview, and no JSON-LD
until you supply them. See
[Page metadata](Services/Website/README.md#page-metadata).
4. **Secrets** — set a real `DATABASE_PASSWORD` in a git-ignored
`Services/Website/.env` (the committed `.env.local` is an example only).
5. **Domain models** — the `Persistence` package ships a sample
`ExampleRecord` / `ExampleRepository`; replace it when you add real data.
`structuredData`: no meta description, no link preview, no JSON-LD until you
supply them. See [Page metadata](Services/Website/README.md#page-metadata).
4. **Analytics** — the cookieless [Umami](https://umami.is) tracker ships **off**
(`analytics.websiteID` is empty, so no third-party script is requested).
Enabling it, in order: point `String.Analytics.origin` at the instance you
report to, allow that origin in `security.contentSecurityPolicy` (`.env.local`
already does; `docker-compose.yml` falls back to a `'self'`-only policy), then
set `ANALYTICS_WEBSITE_ID`. `ANALYTICS_DOMAINS` limits which hosts report;
`ANALYTICS_RECORDER` opts into the session recorder. See
[Analytics](Services/Website/README.md#analytics).
5. **Secrets** — set a real `DATABASE_PASSWORD` in a git-ignored
`Services/Website/.env`; the committed `.env.local` is an example and defaults
the password to the slug.
6. **Domain models** — replace the `Persistence` package's sample `ExampleRecord`
/ `ExampleRepository`. The default driver is in-memory SQLite, migrated on
every boot; a real site sets `DATABASE_DRIVER=postgres` and migrates out of
band (`swift run Website --database-migrate`). See
[Persistence](Services/Website/README.md#persistence).

## What bootstrap does NOT change
- Organisation (`Röck+Cöde VoF`) and Xcode `DEVELOPMENT_TEAM` — shared across all sites.
- The package architecture, middleware, security headers, and persistence layer.
- The generic `website` image name and `Makefile` command names (`site-run`, `site-mount`, …).
- The four `Packages/*/README.md` files — no rewrite line covers them, so whatever
site name they mention ships as-is into every generated repository.
- The package architecture, middlewares, security headers, and persistence layer
(PostgreSQL, behind the in-memory SQLite default).
- The analytics origin: `String.Analytics.origin` and the `Content-Security-Policy`
in `.env.local` that allows it both name the platform's shared Umami instance.
Tracking stays off until a site sets `ANALYTICS_WEBSITE_ID`.
- The generic `website` image name and the `Makefile` target names (`site-run`,
`site-mount`, …).
- The four `Packages/*/README.md` files and the package sources — no rewrite line
covers them, so whatever site name they carry ships as-is. `Packages/Persistence`'s
PostgreSQL integration test defaults its `POSTGRES_TEST_*` credentials to `site`.
## Maintaining the template itself
Edit and test the reference site directly — it builds and its tests pass with
the `Site` / `site` placeholders in place:
Edit and test the reference site directly — it builds and its tests pass with the
`Site` / `site` placeholders in place:
```sh
(cd Services/Website && make pkg-test) # the service's own two test targets
(cd Packages/Infrastructure && swift test) # and likewise for each vendored package

Keep the placeholders intact so the bootstrap script's targeted replacements
keep matching. They are:
No external infrastructure is needed: `Packages/Persistence`'s PostgreSQL
integration test skips itself unless `POSTGRES_TEST_HOST` is set. To run it,
start the database (`cd Services/Website && make db-mount`), then
`POSTGRES_TEST_HOST=127.0.0.1 swift test`.
Keep the placeholders intact so the bootstrap rewrites keep matching:
| Placeholder | Appears in |
| --- | --- |
| `Site` | Xcode project name and `project.pbxproj`, the service README title |
| `SiteWebsite` | `String+Constants.swift`, `.env.local`, `docker-compose.yml`, the service README |
| `site` | `String+Constants.swift` defaults, `HOST_OWNER` / `DATABASE_*` in `.env.local` and Compose, the `site-platform` Compose project, the `Makefile` `db-shell` fallbacks |
| `site` | `String+Constants.swift` defaults, `HOST_OWNER` / `DATABASE_*` in `.env.local` and both Compose files, the `site-platform` Compose project, the `Makefile` `db-shell` fallbacks |
| `https://site.example.com` | `Resources/Static/robots.txt`, `Resources/Static/sitemap.xml` |
If you introduce a new site-specific value, give it a placeholder from this set
and add a matching rewrite line in `Scripts/bootstrap` — a value that no rewrite
covers ships verbatim into every generated site.
