mandaloreandClaude Sonnet 5 0ab611b6fc Consolidate gateway-gamers sites, dedupe shared header/footer/images
Merge the four independent gateway-gamers.net site repos (40k-rankings,
aos-rankings, kingmaker, scouting) into one monorepo under sites/,
preserving each site's full commit history via a manual subtree-style
merge (git-subtree isn't available in this environment).

- shared/: header.template.html (nav swapped in per site), footer.html,
  and images/ — previously byte-identical copies duplicated 4x (~100MB).
- Each site's public/footer.html and public/images are now symlinks into
  shared/; public/header.html is generated at predev/prebuild time from
  shared/header.template.html + the site's own nav.html, so nav bars stay
  individual while everything else about the header is shared.
- Single root .gitlab-ci.yml with path-scoped build/deploy jobs per site
  plus a deploy:shared job, replacing the 4 separate per-repo pipelines.
- nginx confs (kept per-site as reference, same as before) gain
  location /images/ and location = /footer.html alias blocks pointing at
  a shared webserver directory, so the deployed site no longer duplicates
  the images either — see README.md for the full layout and the runbook
  for applying this on the webserver.

gateway-gamers.net

Monorepo for the *.gateway-gamers.net static sites. Each site is an independent Vite + Tailwind v4 + daisyUI project, deployed to its own subdomain, but they share a header shell, footer, and hero-carousel images so a logo/photo swap doesn't need to happen four times.

Layout

shared/
  header.template.html   # full header markup, nav swapped in at build time
  footer.html             # byte-identical across every site
  images/                 # logo + carousel photos, one copy
scripts/
  render-header.mjs        # shared/header.template.html + sites/<site>/nav.html -> sites/<site>/public/header.html
sites/
  40k-rankings/
  aos-rankings/
  kingmaker/
  scouting/

Each sites/<name>/ is a full Vite project (own package.json, vite.config.js, src/, index.html). Two things are not duplicated per site:

  • public/footer.html and public/images are symlinks into ../../../shared/.
  • public/header.html is generated (gitignored) from shared/header.template.html plus that site's own nav.html (just its <li> nav entries) — run automatically via the predev/prebuild npm scripts, so npm run dev / npm run build always regenerate it fresh. Nothing else about the header (carousel, logo, theme toggle) varies per site.

To add a new site's nav, edit sites/<name>/nav.html. To change the shared photos, logo, footer copy, or header markup/structure, edit under shared/ once.

Commands (per site)

cd sites/<name>
npm install
npm run dev       # http://localhost:5173, regenerates header.html first
npm run build     # -> dist/
npm run preview

Deploy

.gitlab-ci.yml at the repo root builds/deploys each site independently (path-scoped via rules: changes:), plus a deploy:shared job that syncs shared/images/ and shared/footer.html to /var/www/domains/gateway-gamers.net/shared/ on the webserver — the box the GitLab Runner executes on. Every site's nginx server block points /images/ and /footer.html at that shared directory via alias, so the webserver only ever holds one copy of the ~25MB of images. See each sites/<name>/<name>.gateway-gamers.net.conf for the live nginx reference config (applied manually on the box — CI doesn't touch nginx).
