 # CrimsonTome's Blog
+> My personal blog documenting my journey into open-source development alongside other things.  
+> Created with 11ty, hosted in a docker container on my VPS
+## Development
 
+ - clone the repo
+ - run `npm i` to install dependencies
+ - npm `run serve`
+ - make some changes and watch them update in the browser
  
-After abandoning the github pages blog, I had many static site generators and hosting providers recommended to me aside from Jekyll and GHPages. I had already tried Eleventy with GHPages and wanted to try that with Netlify. So, that is what I am doing.  
-This blog uses the [eleventy base blog](https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog) as a framework.  
+## Building
 
-EDIT: Site is now hosted on my Docker server as the base url for my site has been broken for some time, and this prevents Netlify from randomly breaking npm packages. Can be viewed at <https://blog.crimsontome.com>
+### Node
 
-Much of the documentation will be through blog posts rather than here, for now anyway. You can read the first blog [here](https://blog.crimsontome.com/posts/making-your-own-blog/).
+ - run `npm run build`
+
+### Docker
+
+The site can also be built and ran inside a docker container when you are in the base of the repo:
+ - `sudo docker build -t crimsontome-blog .`
+ - `sudo docker run -itd -p unused-port-number:80 crimsontome-blog`
+ - visit `localhost:port` or `ip:port` if you are hosting on a VPS and the site should be available to view
+
+## Dockerfile
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM node:10-alpine3.9 as npmpackages
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY package.json .
+RUN npm install
+
+FROM node:10-alpine3.9 as builder
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY --from=npmpackages /app /app
+COPY . .
+RUN npm run build
+
+FROM nginx:1.17.10-alpine
+RUN rm -r /usr/share/nginx/html/
+COPY --from=builder /app/_site/ /usr/share/nginx/html/
+```
+### Ouroboros
+
+Using a tool like [Ouroboros](https://github.com/pyouroboros/ouroboros), you can automatically update containers without the need for restarts. This site is setup with that so you can (instead of building it yourself like above) with sudo docker run -d -p unused-port-number:80 crimsontome427:crimsontome-blog
