  #### 1. Setup your system

  

-     sudo dnf install git gettext python2-genshi python-lxml python-setuptools python-dateutil \

-     python-dogpile-cache babel python-feedparser fedfind python-requests python2-babel

+ Since the build process for these pages depend on python2 packages that are no longer packaged in Fedora, the build process and local test server may be run using [podman](https://podman.io/). Podman should be installed by default on Fedora Workstation, for other Fedora releases:

  

-     sudo dnf groups install 'Web Server'

+     sudo dnf install podman

  

  #### 2. Clone the fedora-websites repo

  

      git clone https://pagure.io/fedora-websites.git

  

- #### 3. Enter the directory of the website you want to work on

- For example, if you want to work on getfedora.org, use:

+ #### 3. Build the fedora-websites image

  

-     cd fedora-websites/getfedora.org

+ We need a podman image with the dependencies installed, to build the image from the provided Dockerfile, run the following in the newly checked out `fedora-websites` directory:

  

- #### 4. Launch a test instance

+     podman build -t fedora-websites .

+ 

+ #### 4. Enter the build environment container

+ 

+ Run podman specifying the current directory as the container working directory and the `fedora-websites` image:

+ 

+     podman run -it -p 5000:5000 -v "$(pwd):/opt/:z" -w /opt fedora-websites

+ 

+ #### 5. Enter the directory of the website you want to work on

+ 

+ For example, if you want to work on alt.fedoraproject.org, use:

+ 

+     cd alt.fedoraproject.org

+ 

+ #### 6. Launch a test instance

  

      make en test

  

- #### 5. Stop the test instance

+ This will run the build, start httpd to serve the built content at [localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000/).

+ 

+ #### 7. Stop the test instance

  

      make stoptest

  

  **Note:** if you have caching problems you can clean the instance even more:

  

      make veryclean

+ 

+ #### 8. Exit the container

+ 

+     exit

Required build dependencies are no longer available on later versions of
Fedora, update the build and test procedure to use a podman container
running an older version of Fedora.

This is inspired by PR:1119, and is a stopgap until #1009 is closed (or everything is moved to the new system).
