add local dev config for website

[nikbpetrov]

will probably need better documentation and some additional dev/staging tooling (e.g. pull latest data from GCS instead of reusing old data from assets/)

[houtanb]

please remove _config_dev.yml, that's just there for the dev project site that's publicly visible so no one who accidentally sees it confuses it with the official site.

[houtanb]

This breaks the deployment since it leaves entrypoint.sh in the directory. If you then run make website from the root directory without first running make clean, it will find this entrypoint.sh instead of generating it from the entrypoint.sh rule.

[nikbpetrov]

nice catch; not needed anyway with --entrypoint during docker run

Also, re this, I want to serve local files, so do not want to pull data from GCS.

That's what happens, though, right? Scripts and whatnot reference the local /assets folder that has some outdated files in there. In a non-local setup, those files will be replaced by the GC pipeline that mounts volumes etc.

Tbh, I'd want the opposite dev utility, where I can fetch locally all the most recent data from staging, but that's a problem for another day.

Yes, that's what happens. I'm responding to the comment above:

Given this folder is for website development, the values of the leaderboard rarely matter. It's true that if we want to view the latest data generated locally on the website when we serve it locally, it needs to be copied over by hand but, thus far, this has not been frequently needed as an html leaderboard is also saved to the datasets repo.

I will get back to this during the refactor. Local dev tools have no business in the makefile logic anyways - this makefile should be job-specific issuance only, and not co-located with the rest of the website logic.

Was meant as a quick trick to allow local dev if needed.
