Hi,

GDC's revamped site is now live!

http://gdcproject.org

Techy details for those who are interested:
- Uses vibe.d as the web engine.
- Pages are written in markdown and compiled at runtime (separate thread that watches for file changes).
- Redis memstore backend for caching compiled pages.
- Uses bootstrap for UI.


There's also now a GDC process explorer available to try out!

http://explore.dgnu.org

I'm still fine tuning some details of the set-up.  However it is available for anyone to try, on the basis that you'll be sensible using it.

Enjoy!

Regards
Iain.

Nice work.

BTW: the code editor in the explorer stops allowing edits if compilation fails (or something like that) only tested on my phone though.

Awesome.

Any chance of 64bit support in the explorer?

Nope, it's a 32bit server.  :'(

The tech backend sounds cool. Any chance to get some more information (setup, complete stack, etc.) about it?

Stack is kept as simple as possible.  Only notable things I can say is:

- Apache used as a proxy *:80 <-> localhost:xxx
- Redis is configured to never write any data to disk.
- The application running the site itself is self-contained
(https://github.com/D-Programming-GDC/gdcproject)
- I have a separate (unprivileged) system account on the server to run
the application.
- Server is a Linode 2GB VM (https://www.linode.com/pricing)

Iain.
