MakerFLOSS

Documentation and working notes for MakerFLOSS, an Orange Makerspace initiative — a bi-weekly FLOSS jam-session community focused on self-hosted, open-source infrastructure.

Repository layout

docs/             # built into the public site (docs.makerfloss.eu)

notes/            # repo-only working material — not part of the site
  meetings/       # meeting notes (Danish allowed)
  todo/           # task lists, working norms, wishlist, services
  dev/            # internal plans/ and specs/
  communications/ # community comms artefacts

Building locally

Requires Python 3.10+ and, for slide builds, either marp on $PATH or Docker.

python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Common targets:

make docs-serve   # live-reload preview at http://127.0.0.1:8000
make docs-build   # strict build into ./site
make docs-index   # regenerate docs/hardware/index.md from per-host frontmatter
make docs-check   # CI drift-check for the hardware index
make slides       # build Marp decks (docs/presentations/*.md) into ./slides

CI runs on the self-hosted Forgejo Actions runner (.forgejo/workflows/docs.yml) and rsyncs the built site to the VPS.

Conventions

  • Filenames: ASCII lowercase, kebab-case (like-this.md). Dated docs use YYYY-MM-DD-label.md. Hardware host pages are the exception — their filename stem must equal the hostname field, enforced by scripts/gen_overview.py.
  • Languages: English for code and docs; Danish allowed in meeting notes and community communications.
  • Git: Trunk-based, feature branches, simple commit messages, no secrets in commits.
