09:39:14 <ErCiccione[m]> Hi folks. I've been testing netlify to deploy a preview of incoming PR, so that people can see a live preview right away.
09:39:46 <ErCiccione[m]> Basically one we get a PR, netlify builds and deploys it. Then it posts a comment under the PR with a link to the preview of the built PR.
09:40:28 <ErCiccione[m]> we spoke about it some time ago. It's a cool feature to have because allows people with no build environment to see the results of a PR right away.
09:41:21 <ErCiccione[m]> I think we can integrate it quite soon. The configuration is quite straightforward, but we would need to give netlify permissions on github.
09:43:01 <ErCiccione[m]> Right now the build time of a PR is ~30 minutes. It should be less after #1014, since most of the time is spent in post-processing tasks (the website itself builds in like 15 min).
09:43:39 <ErCiccione[m]> My test configuration was very minimal (i only specified a ruby version to speedup things), but i think with some tweaking we can reduce the amount necessary to build.
09:43:57 <ErCiccione[m]> Not of really much, because building all those blog posts requires times, but still something.
09:44:51 <ErCiccione[m]> What do people think about it? IMO we could use it quite soon (once i'm done testing i would say)
09:48:16 <ErCiccione[m]> We could also use github works to deploy the netlify preview, but i haven't looked into it yet.
09:49:14 <ErCiccione[m]> I made a test PR on my fork on github, will post it here once the preview is deployed, to show how it would look like on the upstream repo
09:49:31 <ErCiccione[m]> oh. Just finished :)
09:49:33 <ErCiccione[m]> https://github.com/erciccione/monero-site/pull/4
09:50:07 <ErCiccione[m]> logs: https://app.netlify.com/sites/monero-site-preview/deploys/5ecf81e937327b0007ab8fa2
09:57:08 <ErCiccione[m]> To sum up: It's very cool and i think we should implement it. I think could also push people to contribute more, since a dedicated test environment won't be strictly necessary anymore
09:58:05 <fluffypony> neat
09:58:10 <fluffypony> is netlify free?
10:27:05 <ErCiccione[m]> yep
11:21:56 <fluffypony> that is awesome, great stuff ErCiccione[m]
11:48:55 <ErCiccione[m]> :)
11:49:24 <ErCiccione[m]> the only meaningful limit for the free plan is the "300 build minutes/month"
11:51:26 <ErCiccione[m]> Now i just managed to have a build compiled and deployed in 10 minutes. I don't think we can go lower than that, except by reducing the amount fo blog posts loaded. Which could make sense
12:00:28 <ErCiccione[m]> Limiting the blog posts to 10 we build and deploy the preview in 4 minutes (cached. the first build would take much more ). I think that would be fine
12:01:03 <ErCiccione[m]> Alright. I'll see if makes sense to put my few edits in a config file, after that we can already integrate it imo.
12:01:34 <ErCiccione[m]> The important is to not go beyond the 300 build minutes/month limit. But if we build in 4 minutes we should be fine.
12:02:54 <asymptotically> can you make it build just one page? so in the PR someone could mention whatever.html and get a link to that?
12:04:21 <ErCiccione[m]> I don't think so. At the end netlify simply deploys jekyll. And you cannot build a single page with jekyll
12:04:57 <ErCiccione[m]> btw if we surpass the 300 build minutes/month limit it will be $45 /month
12:05:41 <ErCiccione[m]> we would have 1000 build minutes/month and 3 concurrent builds
12:32:13 <ErCiccione[m]> Ok. Final tests say 4-5 minutes to build + deploy without caching and ~4 with caching. Assuming the usual volume of PRs and considering that we get a new deployment with each new commit pushed or force pushed to a PR, we should be within the range for the free account by a lot.
