InfoTech.io Platform

Central hub for the InfoTech.io educational platform. This repository contains the main landing page, the module registry (modules.json), and the GitHub Actions workflows required to build and deploy the entire platform.

Architecture

This repository is the "Hub" in our "Hub and Spoke" architecture.

• content/: Contains the static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the main landing page (infotecha.ru).
• modules.json: A central registry of all available educational modules. This file is the single source of truth for the platform's course catalog.
• .github/workflows/: Contains the GitHub Actions that automate the entire platform:
  • deploy-hub.yml: Deploys the main landing page when its content changes.
  • module-updated.yml: Listens for webhooks from module repositories and updates the modules.json registry.
  • build-module.yml: The core workflow that checks out a module's content, combines it with the hugo-base template, builds the static site, and deploys it to its subdomain.

How It Works

1. A course author pushes an update to a content repository (e.g., mod_linux_base).
2. A webhook fires a repository_dispatch event to this infotecha repository.
3. The module-updated.yml workflow runs, updates the timestamp for the changed module in modules.json, and commits the change.
4. The build-module.yml workflow is then triggered.
5. It builds the module's static site using the hugo-base template.
6. The final static site is deployed to the production server under the correct subdomain (e.g., linux-base.infotecha.ru).

Local Development

While the main platform is deployed via CI/CD, you can test the landing page locally.

# Serve the content directory on a local server
python3 -m http.server 8000 --directory ./content

Then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser. Note that the modules.json file will be loaded from the root of the repository.
