./scripts/bootstrap doesn't work

[derek-adair]

Description:

./scripts/bootstrap doesn't work for me. Depending on the version of node I use to build, i get various errors from yarn install.

Tell us a bit about yourself:

• Version of JekyllAdmin I'm using: origin/master
• Version of Jekyll I'm using: 4.3.1
• Version of NodeJS I'm using: Tried 16.x and 18.x
• Operating System Ubuntu 20.04

Steps to reproduce:

1. git clone git@github.com:jekyll/jekyll-admin.git
2. ./scripts/bootstrap

I expected the following:

A local copy of jekyll-admin I can modify.

But got the following, instead:

Various yarn errors depending on the version of node i'm using, I can supply them if necessary but I dont think this is the case.

Other details:

the frontend dependencies have not been updated in >3 years. It would be prudent to regenerate your lock files. Additionally, it can be troublesome to commit package-lock.json and yarn.lock. These were compiled on node 16, which is no longer supported.

[derek-adair]

removing the lock files and running ./scripts/bootstrap results in a a built application, but ./script/server-frontend does not work.

These things make this project a MASSIVE security risk.

Hi @derek-adair any progress with this issue?

[derek-adair]

Nope. No longer using this project for various reasons which are far beyond the scope of this issue. I still recommend using jekyll for any developer but i've moved over to Ghost for clients that need a UI for CMS.

IMO This is still a vital issue in order for this project to survive so someone should probably submit a PR.

scripts/bootstrap, scripts/build, and scripts/server-frontend all work with node 13 as long as you don't delete package-lock.json. But I agree it would be nice to use newer versions.

I'm new to jekyll and have been trying to install jekyll-admin. I'm not able to get the dependencies to install with the build script. OS Ubuntu 24.04, ruby 3.3.5, jekyll 4.3.4, node 22.13. I'd be willing to back down to node 20, but node 13 is way too old.
