# fast-website
Lightweight, SEO-first website for SanthoshJ that aggregates YouTube + Instagram + podcast content and tracks conversion events via Umami.
## Local Setup
```bash
cd site
cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm run fetch-content
npm run dev
```
Open `http://localhost:4321`.
## Configuration
All configuration is via environment variables (see `site/.env.example`).
### YouTube
- `YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID` is required for ingestion.
- Optional: `YOUTUBE_API_KEY` enables view-count ingestion for high-performing ranking.
Notes:
- The channel ID looks like `UC...` and can be found by viewing the channel page source or via YouTube Studio settings.
- If `YOUTUBE_API_KEY` is not set, ingestion falls back to the public channel RSS feed and metrics will be missing.
### Podcast
- `PODCAST_RSS_URL` is required to ingest episodes.
### Instagram (Embed-First)
Edit `site/content/instagram-posts.json`:
```json
{
"posts": [
{ "url": "https://www.instagram.com/p/<id>/", "publishedAt": "2026-02-01T00:00:00Z", "title": "Movie post" }
]
}
```
Phase 2 (API ingestion) path:
- Requires Meta developer app setup, correct account type, token issuance + refresh, and platform policy compliance.
- Recommended approach: keep embed-first for v1, then add an optional API ingest module when constraints are clear.
### Curation / Featured Videos
If YouTube metrics are not available, curate high-performing videos in `site/content/featured-videos.json`:
```json
{ "videoIds": ["abc123", "def456"] }
```
## Analytics (Umami)
Set:
- `PUBLIC_UMAMI_SCRIPT_URL`
- `PUBLIC_UMAMI_WEBSITE_ID`
If either is missing, analytics is disabled and the site still functions.
Event tracking is implemented using Umami's `data-umami-event` and `data-umami-event-*` attributes.
## Click Tracking Taxonomy (Umami-Compatible)
All tracked clickables MUST set:
- `data-umami-event`: the event name (max 50 chars), e.g. `click`, `cta_click`, `outbound_click`
- `data-umami-event-target_id`: stable unique identifier for the clickable element (namespaced like `nav.*`, `cta.*`, `card.*`)
- `data-umami-event-placement`: where the clickable appears (e.g. `nav`, `hero`, `section_header`, `home.newest`)
For links, also set:
- `data-umami-event-target_url`: destination URL (can be relative for internal navigation)
Common additional properties:
- `data-umami-event-domain`: destination domain (for outbound links)
- `data-umami-event-source`: `youtube` / `instagram` / `podcast` where applicable
- `data-umami-event-ui_placement`: a sub-placement for UI grouping (e.g. `content_card`)
Instrumentation checklist:
- Every clickable should have a unique `target_id` so it can be segmented in Umami.
- Use categorical ids and placements only (no PII).
## Deployment (Linode + Docker)
Build and run:
```bash
docker compose build
docker compose up -d
```
The container serves the static output on port `8080` (map or proxy as needed).
### Refreshing Content (Manual)
Content is fetched at build time into `site/content/cache/content.json`.
On the Linode host:
```bash
./scripts/refresh.sh
```
This:
1. Runs `npm run fetch-content` in `site/`
2. Rebuilds the Docker image
3. Restarts the container
### Refreshing Content (Scheduled)
Install a daily cron using `deploy/cron.example` as a starting point.
Rollback:
- Re-run `docker compose up -d` with a previously built image/tag, or restore the last known-good repo state and rerun `scripts/refresh.sh`.
