Testing hidden folders with RTD

[choldgraf]

This is just me playing around with staticrypt to learn more about it.

I think I may have found a bug in RTD? I opened this one to ask about it:

• Modifications to built HTML in a post_build job do not show up in the site preview readthedocs/readthedocs.org#9797

[choldgraf]

Hmmm for some reason it is correctly finding the HTML, but not actually replacing it with the encrypted version.

EDIT: Indeed this is a known bug:

• Delay builder.move until after post_build job readthedocs/readthedocs.org#9179

📰 We've done some progress on the build.jobs.post_build issue. We hope to review that PR (readthedocs/readthedocs.org#9888), merge and deploy in the following weeks. I will try to come back here and comment when it's deployed 😄 . Stay tuned.

Hi @choldgraf 👋🏼 . I followed your example to test this out and I got it working at https://test-builds.readthedocs.io/en/staticrypt/ (password is humitos). Let me know if this is useful for you 😄

[choldgraf]

@humitos it worked!

Great! 💯

I'm curious about what's the use-case behind this idea about using staticrypt. Would you like to expand this? 🙏🏼 In particular, in Read the Docs community where it only supports public repositories. So, putting the HTML content behind a password won't avoid people accessing the content anyways.

On the other hand, on Read the Docs for Business, a similar feature is already built-in in the platform: https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/commercial/sharing.html

If you don't want to share the idea publicly for any reason, please contact me at manuel at readthedocs (.org | .com)

In our case, I'm auto-generating dashboards about 2i2c's upstream activity as well as some financial activity with Jupyter Book. The data is not publicly accessible, and some of the dashboards might have sensitive information in them. So the source files don't have anything sensitive, but the built outputs do, which is why I wanted to put them behind a password.

@choldgraf is this a PR to close?

[choldgraf]

@consideRatio yeah let's close it, was a little experiment but I'm not sure if/when we'll get to it so we can always re-open if need be
