MIMIC website

This page describes how the MIMIC website (http://mimic.physionet.org) is managed.

Hugo

Hugo is a static site generator used to build the MIMIC website. It merges content files with a fixed template and generates flat HTML files for hosting. More details at: http://gohugo.io/

To use Hugo, either:

• Download the latest binary from the GitHub releases page (recommended for Windows), or
• Install via a package manager (brew or apt-get)

---

Test the website

Inside the mimic-website folder, run:

hugo server

This hosts the website locally, usually at localhost:1313. Changes are automatically reflected while hugo server runs in the background.

---

Push the changes to GitHub

Make small, modular commits and push all changes to GitHub before continuing.

---

Set up live server (only needed once)

• Have your public key added to webuser@webserver — ask the sysadmin
• Add the remote:

git remote add deploy webuser@webserver:mimic-website.git

---

Push the changes to the live server

Once changes are committed and pushed to GitHub:

git push deploy
