About This Project
The Story
This offline replica was created for Lars Appel and his DevOps PM IPL25 students.
Why This Exists
During the course, students needed access to the educational materials in environments with limited or no internet connectivity. So we built a crawler to capture the content and make it available offline.
What We Did
- Captured the Course — Crawled 221+ pages and 37+ presentations from devops-pm-25.educ8.se
- Fixed Bugs — Discovered and corrected several issues in the original content:
- Fixed 404 page paths (nested directory structure issues)
- Added missing CSS
<link>tags - Added proper
<style>tags for inline CSS - Generated search index (
index.json) for the offline site
- Made It Available — Created an offline-replica that works without internet
