Tiny Personal Website

This is a small Python based personal website aimed first and foremost at being a resume. I originally wrote this a decade or so ago, and recently absolutely borked my react website, resulting in me quickly resurrecting this thing in about a day and a half. It was actually pretty fun though, so I've continued to add little features. This one does the same thing, but better, and faster, with less js. Feel free to fork this and make it your own, but keep it open source.

Getting Started

Clone this github repo into your desired webroot, and install dependencies with poetry:

poetry install

You can configure everything (e.g. website title, your photo, quote, etc) by editing tiny_personal_website/config/config.yaml and replacing all the Jesse data with your own.

Testing Locally

# get into a poetry shell
poetry shell

# run gunicorn
gunicorn tiny_personal_website:app

Then you can go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 in a browser to view your changes.

Docker

For testing locally with docker, you can do:

# this tag can be anything, but this is typically what I do locally
docker build . -t jessebot/tiny-personal-website:dev

# to test locally, you can do -p 8000:8080 to forward
# port 8080 on the container to port 8000 on your local machine
docker run --rm -p 8000:8080 jessebot/tiny-personal-website:dev

Then you can go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 in a browser to view your changes.

You can now use an environment variable to set the location of the config.yaml to use. Here's an example if you have your config file in your current directory:

# mount the current directory to /config, and set the CONFIG_FILE env var to /config/config.yaml
# this assumes you've built or pulled jessebot/tiny-personal-website:latest locally
docker run --rm -v .:/config -e CONFIG_FILE=/config/config.yaml -p 8000:8080 jessebot/tiny-personal-website:dev

Deploying on an app platform

You want the following command plugged into where-ever this runs (e.g. digital ocean app platform):

gunicorn --worker-tmp-dir /dev/shm tiny_personal_website:app

And the container port of note is port 8080.
