# Building a website with Github and Jekyll
### 2015-08-20 | #github #jekyll #docker 

## Intro

After a long time of www.ecliptik.com[1] being offline I finally brought it back online with Github Pages[2]. I really like the concept of having a static site using Markdown files and a template to quickly bring online a modern looking blog without the hassle of configuring a content management system, web server, or database.

=> http://www.ecliptik.com 1: http://www.ecliptik.com
=> https://pages.github.com/ 2: https://pages.github.com/

While building the site, I created a Dockerfile[3] to make viewing the site locally before pushing to Github. The container image ecliptik/jekyll[4] built from this Dockerfile is also on Docker Hub.
