## Encrypted Static (Quarto) Website

This is a skeleton template for a [Quarto website](https://quarto.org/docs/websites/) that is password protected and deployed on GitHub Pages.

The website is built and deployed on GitHub Actions.

The GitHub Action, [`quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml`](.github/workflows/quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml) does the following:

- Renders the Quarto project via `quarto render`.
- Adds password via `staticrypt`
- deploys to Github Pages (given correct configuration as per below)

It assumes any computations are run locally and tracked via the [Freeze execution option](https://quarto.org/docs/projects/code-execution.html#freeze) (i.e. `freeze: true` in `_quarto.yml`).

Use the "Use this template" button to create a new private GitHub repo with all the files in this repo.

## Configure password and protected pages

Modify website build and encryption settings in [`quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml`](.github/workflows/quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml) as necessary:
   ```
   build:
   ...
   env:
      PROTECTED_DIR: _site
      PASSWORD: password
      # PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.YOUR_SECRET }}
   ```

* `PROTECTED_DIR` should match your Quarto project output directory, which by default is `output_dir: _site`.
      * To protect a folder of pages rather than your whole website, modify `_site` to `_site/folder`.
   * `PASSWORD` sets the encryption password for all pages in `PROTECTED_DIR`.
      * For simplicity, the password is specified by default in plain-text as shown. This means anyone who can access the repository can open this file and read the password. Therefore, make sure your repository remains PRIVATE.
      * A more secure option, with *slightly* more setup is to store the password in a [GitHub Secret](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions). Follow these [instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions#creating-secrets-for-a-repository) to add secret repository variable that stores your password separately from the github action file. Make sure you comment/uncomment the relevant `PASSWORD:` line, and the name of your secret matches what's in the file (e.g. `YOUR_SECRET`)

## Configure GitHub Pages Site Deployment

1. Go to `Settings/Pages` and find "Build and deployment" and set "Source" to "GitHub Actions".
2. A little further down the page, check "Enforce HTTPS"

## Updating your Quarto Website

1. Make changes to `.qmd` files. Commit as needed
2. Re-render your website, with `freeze: true`. This should create/update the rendered content in `_site/`, and cache any computational output in `_freeze`.
3. Commit the `_freeze` folder. `_site` is ignored by default (in [`.gitignore`](.gitignore)) since the GitHub Action renders and deploys the website from source.
4. Push your changes to GitHub. The push should trigger the action, which will render the website using the frozen computation output, encrypt the specified pages, then deploy the protected website to GitHub pages.

## Adding encryption to existing Quarto Website

To add encryption to an existing website, simply:

1. Copy and paste [`quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml`](.github/workflows/quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml) into `.github/workflows/` your existing repo, creating the folder if it doesn't exist.
2. configure GitHub Pages to deploy from GitHub Actions as per instructions above.

## Modify Action to run Computations before rendering Quarto Website.

If you want to run your computations on GitHub actions before rendering the website:

- uncomment the R code steps in the `build` job of [`quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml`](.github/workflows/quarto-staticrypt-ghpages.yml)
- [optional] change `freeze: true` to `auto` or `false` in [`_quarto.yml`](quarto.yml)
