 # Website for *Schulischer Schabernack*
 
-Prototype for the site of the podcast for the practical seminar podcast.
+The website of the podcast for P-Seminar Deutsch „Einen Podcast erstellen“.
+
+## Building
+
+Building the site includes encoding all episodes from FLAC to the target formats.
+Since this is not easily integrable into the website pipeline,
+the build process is quite complicated.
+Building the site also requires a special version of FFmpeg
+that includes support for the FDK AAC library.
+Therefore, it is recommended to use the [Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/) to set up the environment.
+Please note that this requires Nix 2.4 or later with the experimental features `nix-command` and `flakes` enabled or Nix 3.0.
+
+Simply building the site can be accomplished by running `nix build`.
+To run the build in-place (not inside the build sandbox),
+a development shell can be entered `nix develop` or by using [direnv](https://direnv.net/).
+Then, the build script can be run with `./build.sh`.
+
+The deployment is automated with the script `deploy.sh`.
+It automatically builds the site using Nix to achieve reproducibility
+and then deploys it via `rsync` to either the staging or production environment.
