Automated Deployment and Backup for Static Sites
Explore scripts and configurations for automating deployment, backup, and LaTeX resume management for static sites.
Shipped January 2026
A collection of scripts and configurations for building, deploying, and backing up a static site, along with LaTeX resume templates. This repository automates deployment workflows, dependency management, and Dropbox backups for the site hosted at cv.jnapolitano.io.
Features
- Automated deployment scripts using GitHub Pages and shell scripts
- Backup functionality to Dropbox via Python API
- Build pipeline automation with Python and Makefile integration
- LaTeX resume templates for easy customization and PDF generation
- Dockerfile for containerized environment setup
- Various utility scripts for installation, setup, and maintenance
Tech Stack
- JavaScript (primary language noted)
- Python 3.5+ for backup and build scripts
- Bash shell scripting for deployment and setup automation
- Makefile for build automation
- Docker for containerization
- Dropbox API for backup integration
- LaTeX for resume formatting
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Python 3.5 or higher
- pip package manager
- Dropbox account and API token
- Make utility
- Git
Installation
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/justin-napolitano/jnapolitano.io.git
cd jnapolitano.io
Install Python dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage
- To build the site:
make html
- To deploy the site to GitHub Pages:
./deploy.sh
- To back up the built HTML to Dropbox:
python backup_html.py
- To install required system dependencies and setup environment:
./install.sh
- To uninstall or clean up:
./uninstall.sh
Project Structure
acp.sh # Shell script, purpose assumed for automation
backup_html.py # Python script to back up build/html folder to Dropbox
chtml.sh # Shell script, likely related to HTML processing
deploy.sh # Deploys site to GitHub Pages
deployz.sh # Alternative deploy script
Dockerfile # Docker environment setup
... # Various shell scripts for setup, push, pull, install, uninstall
latex/ # LaTeX templates and resume files
label_list.py # Python script for reading pickle files related to docs
Makefile # Build automation rules
overview.rst # Documentation overview
python_build.py # Python build pipeline automation
README.md # This file
requirements.txt # Python dependencies

Future Work / Roadmap
- Consolidate and document all shell scripts with clear usage instructions
- Enhance backup script with error handling and token management
- Add unit tests for Python build and backup scripts
- Improve Dockerfile for full environment reproducibility
- Expand LaTeX resume templates with more customization options
- Integrate CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and deployment
Notes
This README assumes the primary purpose is managing a static site with deployment and backup automation, alongside LaTeX resume management. Some scripts and files have unclear roles and would benefit from additional documentation.
