This PR adds a basic mkdocs(-material) website (basically a copy of the README.md file) and modifies the generate-attribution.py file so that it also generates a licenses.md file for mkdocs automatically.

It also adds a GH-action to push the site to GH-pages on every push to main. For the result see: https://parttimedatascientist.github.io/transitous/

This PR should close #18 and #29.

Approximate contents:

• Very short description of the service / slogan
• A search field to try our routing, should just forward the request to the motis web interface. This may need extending motis with query parameters for this purpose. Maybe a simplified version of what https://www.vy.no/en#journey-planner does
• Further down some API example, link to motis docs / our docs in case we have some by then.

Another major method of deploying bare metal servers, virtual machines or containers other than Ansible is MAAS originally developed by Canonical. The MAAS software has a fair number of major users and who knows how many minor or unlisted users. So it would be a very good idea to ensure that the necessary resources are in place to enable building containers, or deployment via VM etc with MAAS. Ensuring a secured rsync connection as well as any other connections which are required.

Then to enable building the container support for Juju would be great so it can build the container, as part of a DevOps cycle.

Can support for the please be added?

Hello,

I was following the local instance instructions in the README and while running the last step:

cd out
motis -c config.ini --server.host 0.0.0.0 --server.static_path /opt/motis/web

ran into the following error:

2024-03-05T00:29:04Z [VERIFY FAIL] file does not exist: land-polygons-complete-4326.zip

initialization error: file does not exist: land-polygons-complete-4326.zip

I was able to download that file from https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/data/land-polygons.html, put it in my out/ directory, and proceed as expected, so presumably, just a README update would be enough to resolve this.

Hi, I just added Australian Translink Feeds.

They have real-time GTFS-RT feeds too with vehicle tracking, but I wasn't sure if this project makes use of them.

Thanks, Steve

Adds feeds for:

• Viarail
• STM
• Exo
• Laval STL
• Toronto TTC
• Metrolinx

The idea being eventually implementing support for Transitous/MOTIS.

This automatically serves API documentation for our filtered MOTIS API.

There is still lots of text to add, and the design could certainly be prettier. I have just barely customized the colors so far.

Error while parsing GTFS feed:
Could not open required file agency.txt
Parsing GTFS feed in '/transitous/downloads/fi_tampere.gtfs.zip' ...
You may want to try running gtfstidy with --fix for error fixing / skipping. See --help for details.

Please consider removing or replacing the feed.

@vkrause

Add feed for Transperth to the Australia feed file.

(I do not know if I'm supposed to make PRs like this, just thought it'd be cool to see my local public transport on the demo.)

After the discussions in the previous PR using the heavy mkdocs-material theme here's now a completely stripped-down version rendering a mkdocs site using the builtin "readthedocs" theme with just a few files.

This PR adds a very basic mkdocs website (basically a copy of the README.md file) and modifies the generate-attribution.py file in a way that it also generates a licenses.md file for the mkdocs-site automatically.

It also updates the import-workflow to update the website with the new licenses and adds a GH-action to update the site to GH-pages manually and on every push touching the mkdocs-sitefolder (using the last cached licenses.md from the import workflow). For the result see: https://parttimedatascientist.github.io/transitous/

REUSE-check is now green as well

This PR adresses #18 and #29.

@Pi-Cla: I hope I've addressed your concerns and we can agree on this simple version as the sweet spot for now. We can then go wild with mkdocs themes or switch to Hugo anytime later as for now there are just two markdown files and the mkdocs config.

During the migration of the CI to a self-hosted VM, I had to remove a few feeds that were not accessible from the DFN (German University Network)

• ca-Yellowknife-Transit @pi-cla
• au-Transperth @Steve-Tech @mexon
• ca-qc-Laval @mlundblad

If you find another download link / a mirror, these can of course be added back. Maybe @Fale's gtfsproxy can help, although it didn't immidiately work for those feeds.

Changes

• [x] integrate docs/ into website/
• [x] added the #transitous:matrix.spline.de channel
• [ ] add https://routing.spline.de/openapi to https://routing.spline.de/doc/index.html
• [ ] allow to forward /api/address syntax

As the readme stated, transitous aims to be a routing service:

A community-run provider-neutral international public transport routing service.

Will transitous (maybe motis is already doing that, but couldn't find anything in the docs) provide additional data like stop_times, trips, gbfs station data like deep-links to rent a vehicle and so on or is this out of scope.

Background:

For an OSS app (similar might be of interest to other apps, websites as well) we are showing realtime data from various different sources like gtfs, gtfs-rt, gbfs, ... and would be really interested instead of developing our own database / data-hub work on an open community project collecting and sharing this data.

For testing I've recently started a small project importing gtfs, gtfs-rt and gbfs feeds into a postgis database which provides data via rest and sends updates via websocket as well: https://github.com/kiel-live/transport-hub (something like this might also be interesting for having a dashboard / showing coverage of the transitious sources)

I need to add a new copyroght for a feed, but the link to edit the document located at

https://public-transport.github.io/transitous/licenses/

does not work for me. It leads to a page that says Not Found.

I also cannot locate the page in the Transitous main repository.

Can you please inform where this document is located and maybe correct the link?
