I've been using bookstack in docker for all my homelab docs stuff, but I do like your doc site so I'll fumble through this and see how I go, but I have very little knowledge on coding. It's on my list of things to learn. Should be fun :D
This is amazing, I literally use this for creating a locally hosted site that does have a small login screen before you can get into it with a password that I only know. It holds so many of my notes for programming and also assist me with IT Related solutions. I've been working on it for about 4 months now and its all thanks to this video.
Agreed. I was literally looking over the mess that's my Google Spreadsheet document the day before this came out, trying to figure out how the hell I was going to make it work.
Would be kind to see a guide on how to run/deploy this site on a local environment like a LXC without the github pages part. In this case we can run it behind a reverse proxy or even just localy for local documentations. Anyways, good guide as always :)
This is amazing. I’ve always wanted to get into blogging but I’ve always felt the barrier to learning Wordpress or some other cms tool/platform was too high. As a developer, this is the perfect solution. Thanks for the awesome video!
I followed these steps but for some reason my github actions keeps failing to deploy it on GITHUB even though its working okay on my local machine. Anyone else having this issue ?
Just got through this, you need the assets/lib submodule on the chirpy repo. After that, you need to set "use submodules : true" (commented out by default) on the repo's deploy.yml file. Hope this helps!
Seeing the section about a CDN got me to thinking. I personally have my own CDN using a combination of Backblaze and Cloudflare. It's pretty much free.* I could not imagine a standard home lab racking up a massive cost with how cheap Backblaze bucket storage is. So Tim, do you use a CDN and if so, it would be cool to see a video on this topic. If you have any questions about how The Backblaze and Cloudflare combo work I would be more than happy to offer some pointers!
This video was fantastic, thank you for replying to the comment I left on one of your other videos asking about this documentation site. It was a little rocky for me to get things going at first as I'm a networking guy not a web/dev guy but I think I've got a handle on how everything is working now thanks to this tutorial. Now its off to figure out the custom self hosted docker container video you mentioned at the end of this video.

Hey I followed the exact steps, when I push my changes, github actions run fine as well. But I don't see gh-pages branch in settings→pages. Am I missing anything here?

I really would like to know if there is an extension in VS Code that you are using that pulled up the list of timezones as you were typing yours out in the config.yml file. It even auto correct your spelling mistake by the end. If so, what is that extension? Would love to be able to use that!
This one got me and took me a while to figure out. When you create your post don't name it just `homelab-docs.md` it should be in a specific format. It should be `year-mouth-day-post_name.md` format.
This is awesome. but I have a problem on last section. I can not find 'gh-pages' in Pages of Setting menu. so after few minutes my page shows "--- layout: home # Index page --- "
Great video! For whatever reason, in the Settings -> Pages I'm not getting the gh-pages branch. The only options for me to select are main and none... Not sure what step I'm missing.

Hi :) Thx for the video, this is what I was looking for. Unfortunately I ran into an issue. After created my first page and reloaded the server, my page doesn't render. I tried to create a second page and same issue. I'm still looking how to resolve that :)
Check the docs on my site for the page name formatting!
