Product Analysis: Cockpit Project Website

Overview

The Cockpit project website is a site that provides information about the Cockpit project, including blog articles, release notes, the Cockpit guide, and screenshots. The website is built using Springboard, a MIT-licensed preconfigured build of Jekyll, which allows for quick and easy setup.

Features

• Podman Container: The website can be set up and run using a Podman container, which helps manage the dependencies and provides an isolated environment.
• Local Development: The website can also be run locally using Jekyll, allowing for instant rendering of local changes.
• Markdown Support: The website content is written using Markdown, specifically GitHub-flavored Markdown via Kramdown, providing a familiar syntax for formatting.

Option 1: Using a Podman Container

1. Install Podman (if not already installed): sudo dnf install podman
2. Create the container and install the dependencies: ./_scripts/container-create
3. Run the Jekyll server locally: ./_scripts/container-jekyll
4. Visit http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to view the website.

Option 2: Installing Locally without a Container
