Overview
This page contains information about contributing to the digiKam website.
The main URL in use for the website is https://www.digikam.org
There is no test/staging website, only a preview of Markdown pages generated by Gitlab
The site is served as a statically built website. It uses Hugo to precompile everything into the final output.
This means that the website is now being pre-compiled from various source files ahead of time. These files are then made available through the web server as static assets (nothing needs to be dynamically created on the server). This significantly reduces the server requirements (no in-between scripting language or database required) as well as reduces the possible attack vectors for malicious actors.
