Summary

This pull request replaces the existing Flask application with a static site generator. It also adds a workflow to automatically build and deploy the static site to the pages branch using Forgejo Actions.

This should make the site faster and more secure, as it no longer requires a dedicated server application. In the future, the site could also be hosted directly using Forgejo Pages. The new approach could also reduce the risk of downtime due to server/code issues.

The changes are already deployed on the dev instance and can be viewed at https://dev.private.coffee.

Changes

1. Replaced Flask Application with Static Site Generator:

   • main.py now generates static HTML files from Jinja2 templates instead of serving them using Flask.
   • The script:
     • Iterates over all templates in the templates directory.
     • Includes the icon filter for rendering SVG icons.
     • Generates a metrics file and ensures it is included in the static site.
     • Copies static assets to the output directory.

2. Added Workflow for Automatic Deployment:

   • Created new workflow files .forgejo/workflows/build.yml and .forgejo/workflows/build-dev.yml to automate the build and deployment process.
   • Configured the workflows to:
     • Check out the repository.
     • Set up Python and install dependencies.
     • Run the static site generator script.
     • Deploy the generated static site files to the pages/pages-dev branch.

Deployment Notes

• This pull request obsoletes the uwsgi apps, and requires a change to the Caddy configuration to serve the static files instead of reverse proxying to uwsgi.
• Due to the force push to the pages branch, git on the server will need to be configured to rebase instead of merge when pulling changes from the pages branch.

## Summary This pull request replaces the existing Flask application with a static site generator. It also adds a workflow to automatically build and deploy the static site to the `pages` branch using Forgejo Actions. This should make the site faster and more secure, as it no longer requires a dedicated server application. In the future, the site could also be hosted directly using Forgejo Pages. The new approach could also reduce the risk of downtime due to server/code issues. The changes are already deployed on the dev instance and can be viewed at [https://dev.private.coffee](https://dev.private.coffee). ## Changes 1. **Replaced Flask Application with Static Site Generator**: - `main.py` now generates static HTML files from Jinja2 templates instead of serving them using Flask. - The script: - Iterates over all templates in the `templates` directory. - Includes the `icon` filter for rendering SVG icons. - Generates a metrics file and ensures it is included in the static site. - Copies static assets to the output directory. 2. **Added Workflow for Automatic Deployment**: - Created new workflow files `.forgejo/workflows/build.yml` and `.forgejo/workflows/build-dev.yml` to automate the build and deployment process. - Configured the workflows to: - Check out the repository. - Set up Python and install dependencies. - Run the static site generator script. - Deploy the generated static site files to the `pages`/`pages-dev` branch. ## Deployment Notes - This pull request obsoletes the uwsgi apps, and requires a change to the Caddy configuration to serve the static files instead of reverse proxying to uwsgi. - Due to the force push to the `pages` branch, git on the server will need to be configured to rebase instead of merge when pulling changes from the `pages` branch.

feat: convert Flask app to static site generator ... 61de9ec81b

Refactored the Flask application to generate a static site instead of running as a dynamic web app. Added a CI workflow to build and deploy the static site on pushes to the 'static' branch.

- Replaced Flask route handling with a function that generates HTML files using Jinja2 templates.
- Modified the argparse logic to trigger the static site generation.
- Updated the .gitignore file to exclude the build directory.
- Created a Forgejo Actions workflow to automate the build and deploy process.

This change improves performance and reduces server overhead by serving pre-rendered static content.

feat(ci): automate build and deploy for dev and main branches ... d337e8a207

- Added a new GitHub Actions workflow for the development branch to build and deploy the static site.
- Modified the existing workflow to trigger on the main branch instead of the static branch.
- Refactored the main.py script for consistency in string quotation.

fix(build): ensure .gitignore is included in temp site ... 0b0f8bb3b2

Added copying of .gitignore to the temporary static site location in both development and production build scripts. This prevents unnecessary files from being included in the new orphan branches, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient build process.

feat(build): add dev flag to static site generation ... b27ace9cb0

Updated the build-dev CI workflow to run the static site generation with a development flag. This ensures the build script runs in the appropriate context for development environments. No issues referenced.

feat: update README and asset paths for static site generation ... 69ef1f7a1a

Switched the project description from a Flask application to a Jinja2 static website generator. Adjusted asset links in the base template to be relative, enhancing portability and simplifying deployments. These changes aim to better reflect the project's current architecture and usage.

chore: remove Flask from requirements ... 8e81ba73b2

feat: add filter to convert month number to name ... 5cdb9ad43b

Added a custom filter `month_name` to convert month numbers to their full names in templates. Updated the Transparency Report title to use this filter, enhancing readability and user experience. This change ensures that month names are displayed instead of numeric values, making the report titles clearer and more user-friendly.

feat: extend asset copying to include data directory ... ee2d53a36d

Expanded the asset copying functionality to also handle the 'data' directory in addition to the 'assets' folder. This ensures that both static assets and data files are included in the output directory, streamlining the build process and ensuring all necessary resources are available in the generated static site.
