Updated July 2026.

Personal site built with Jekyll. Deployed automatically by GitHub Pages from the master branch — push to master and it's live a minute later.

Running locally

Prerequisites: Docker.

1. Clone the repository.
2. Ensure Docker is running.
3. Navigate to the folder and run docker-compose up.
4. View the website at http://localhost:4000/.

Gems are cached in a Docker volume, so the first run is slow and later runs are fast.

Updating dependencies

To update the Gemfile.lock (e.g. for Dependabot alerts), run bundler inside a Ruby container:

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/site -w /site ruby:3.3 bundle update

Or target specific gems: ... bundle update --conservative <gem> <gem>.
