In a previous post, we moved from the default minima theme version to a recent one that supports the dark theme, but I couldn’t test it anymore in my local Jekyll engine on my Debian 12.

To leverage the recent minima theme version, we had to leverage the jekyll-remote-theme plugin.

The package for Debian is ruby-jekyll-remote-theme but it has been removed since Debian 12.

That said, the Debian 11 version is still installable on Debian 12, so you can do:

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/ruby-jekyll-remote-theme/ruby-jekyll-remote-theme_0.4.2-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./ruby-jekyll-remote-theme_0.4.2-1_all.deb

Then, you can run jekyll locally with the plugin as if it is on github pages.
