wildgrove.dev

wildgrove.dev is an Astro-backed static site. Day-to-day development still happens with Astro's local development server, while Docker gives the project a production-style build and serving workflow.

Externalized Content and Assets

The site keeps post content and shared visual assets in separate repositories that are mounted as Git submodules:

• content stores posts and curated site data
• public/assets stores public images, logos, fonts, and other static assets

Development Workflow

Astro's local development server is used for site work:

npm run dev

The Docker setup provides a production-style local serving path:

• a multi-stage Dockerfile builds the site with Node
• nginx to serve the generated dist/ output
• compose.yml runs the containerized site on http://localhost:8080

Containerized local run:

docker compose up --build

Deployment

The public site is deployed with Cloudflare Pages. The Cloudflare project builds from the GitHub repository and serves Astro's generated static output.

Cloudflare Pages settings:

• build command: npm run build
• build output directory: dist
• submodules: enabled through the GitHub checkout workflow
