Stack

• Astro 7 — static site generation, View Transitions
• Tailwind CSS 4 — via Vite plugin, no config file

No UI framework. Every component is .astro; there are no client islands.

Development

npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:4321
npm run build      # output → /dist
npm run preview    # preview /dist locally
npm run check      # type-check

Requires Node ≥ 22.12.0 (see .node-version).

Routing

Two-tier: native Astro pages in src/pages/ shadow the catch-all [...slug].astro, which serves the remaining legacy Webstudio HTML pages from legacy/source-html/.

Of the 32 legacy sources, 10 are already shadowed by native pages and only /events and /publications still carry real content. The other 19 are unwritten stubs — heading, <hr>, nothing else. Handling for those (an honest "being prepared" state plus noindex) lives on the unmerged feat/mobile-nav-redesign branch.

PDFs

public/assets/pdfs/ is gitignored. Upload manually to the server or mount as a persistent volume in Coolify. Structure:

public/assets/pdfs/
  grants/
  publications/
  reports/uaxactun/
  reports/peten/

Deploy

Build with Docker (multi-stage Node → nginx):

docker build -t cms-web .

Or push to GitHub and let Coolify build from the Dockerfile. Mount the PDF directory as a persistent volume:

• Container path: /usr/share/nginx/html/assets/pdfs
• Host path: /data/coolify/applications/<app-id>/pdfs
