vincevarga.dev

This is my main website containing my blog and portfolio.

The website is built with Hugo. The used theme is a forked, customized version of the Hugo Ed theme.

Development

1. Make sure Go is installed locally.
   • Install with brew install go on Mac.
   • Verify installation with go version
2. Make sure Hugo is installed locally.
   • Install with brew install hugo on Mac.
   • Verify installation with hugo version
3. hugo mod get
4. hugo serve

Honorable mentions:

hugo --minify --environment production
miniserve public
# http://127.0.0.1:8080

hugo serve
# http://localhost:1313/

Release

Release with a script

The release.sh goes through all the steps needed for releasing the blog to vincevarga.dev.

# Make the release script executable (optional)
chmod +x release.sh
# Run the release script, it will build the blog and copy over content to the server.
./release.sh
# Verify changes (optional)
open https://vincevarga.dev"

Key steps:

• SSH configuration and server details
• Build public with hugo build
• Backup previous content, so that restoring previous version is possible (manually)
• Copy Caddyfile and public folder to the server
• Restart Caddy
• Clean up old backups on the server

I went with a very simple approach so that it runs on a server I control (I can add other apps later), easy to understand, and easy to debug.
