GOV.UK PaaS Product Page

⚠️ This repository is the old iteration of the product pages. The new product pages are located at alphagov/paas-product-pages ⚠️

---

This is the source for the PaaS product page at https://www.cloud.service.gov.uk/

It is a Ruby/Sinatra app that makes use of the GOV.UK Elements, Frontend Toolkit and Template libraries.

Configuration

The following environment variables should be set for correct deployment:

variable	required	description
ZENDESK_URL	yes	endpoint url (ie "https://accountname.zendesk.com/api/v2")
ZENDESK_USER	yes	user for the api
ZENDESK_TOKEN	yes	token for the api
ZENDESK_GROUP_ID	no	group id to send the tickets to

Development

Dependencies:

• Ruby
• Bundler

You will find:

• The main application is ./app.rb
• General content page in ./views/
• Sass files in ./assets/stylesheets (these will auto compile in dev mode)

To start the server locally in development mode:

ZENDESK_USER='REDACTED' \
ZENDESK_TOKEN='REDACTED' \
ZENDESK_URL=https://govuk.zendesk.com/api/v2 \
ZENDESK_GROUP_ID=123456789 \
make dev

To print the tickets to stdout rather than send to zendesk

FAKE_ZENDESK='true' \
make dev

Deploying changes

This application should not be manually deployed to production. A pipeline in alphagov/paas-release-ci will automatically deploy changes to the master branch.

You may wish to manually deploy this application to a different environment in order to test some changes. We've provided a release script for both build and push for your convinience.

Check in your changes to master.

$ ./release/push

Note: you will need the correct PaaS permissions as well as target your desired organisation and space.
