Let's Encrypt Website and Documentation

Let's Encrypt Website

This is the repository for the main Let's Encrypt website.

This site is built with Hugo. It's entirely static, no server-side code/scripting.

To see your changes, install Hugo Extended, then run it with:

hugo server -F

And open http://localhost:1313/ in your browser. Note that the -F flag will show items to be published in the future (like blog posts with dates in the future).

If you update javascript, css or layouts, you can run tests with:

npm install && npm run build && npm test

Contributions welcome.

Troubleshooting with Hugo

If you see the error:

Failed to load translations in file "en.toml": unsupported file extension .toml

Your version of Hugo is probably too old. Please use the version specified in netlify.toml

Translations - internationalization (i18n)

To help with translation, please see TRANSLATION.md.

Creating new pages

When creating new pages you'll need to add a translation stub for each language. You can use the new-page.sh script to create these automatically:

Usage: ./new-page.sh <page-path> <page title>
Examples:
./new-page.sh my-page "My Page Title"
./new-page.sh post/my-post "My Post Title"
$ ./new-page.sh docs/new-page "My New Page"
