Build the site

Once your site.yaml and gallery.yaml files are properly configured, you can build your site to generate the necessary static files.

Building

Run the following command to build your site:

Docker
sudo docker exec -it lmx build
Python
python3 gallery.py
  • Python: Make sure to run the script from the lumeex/ directory; otherwise, it will not be found.

And you're done.

Testing

You can preview your site locally using the built-in web server.

  • If you use Docker you can immediately check it at http://localhost:3000.
  • If you use Python, run:
    python3 -m http.server 3000 --directory output

    This will serve your static files at http://localhost:3000. Use Ctrl + C to stop the server.
  • If you are developing on a remote machine, replace localhost with your remote machine’s IP address to access the site externally.

Deploying your site

The generated files are located in the lumeex/output/directory. Simply upload or copy these files to your preferred web server to publish your site.

  • Important: Do not use Docker or Python’s built-in web server for production deployments.
