Website is currently (2024) being written in plain HTML templates using Timber theme framework and TailwindCSS.

Web site (theme) sources can be found at https://codeberg.org/hacklabjkl/hacklabjkl-timber with mostly up to date issue tracker.

Ask people at Hacklab locally or in chat room if you would like to get started with helping the development of this site. Help is welcome for design, content improvement, translations, automation, adding new dynamic features etc.

This page provides a rough overview on a recommended workflow.

Development environment

Simple development tasks or configuration testing can be done on a online development installation.

For best workflow however a local development environment is preferred. Access to production server (Jonne) or online development server is required for cloning the installation to local environment.

Vagrant development environment with live site sync scripts and some documentation is provided at https://codeberg.org/hacklabjkl/wp-scripts. VVV is long running project and has nearly everything required for development. Mac M1 (ARM) support has also been added to it during 2024 via Docker also.
