Docker based HUGO static site engine

Docker based image of the HUGO static site generator. Provides a quick way to develop on the HUGO platform.

More about Hugo: http://www.gohugo.io/

I uses Hugo for my personal blog joshuabradley.io. The image is basically to fulfill my automated publishing process, but you're welcome to source via github.

Running

This is a simplistic example of how to call the hugo executable:

docker run --rm -ti joshuabradley/hugo help

To make it really useful, you'll need to mount the current directory to the container, so hugo can write files:

docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) joshuabradley/hugo new site ./site

To make the command a bit more accessible, create an alias. Note that we add the -p option here to make hugo's HTTP port 1313 available.

alias myhugo="docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) -p 1313:1313 joshuabradley/hugo"

Then we can call hugo like this:

# Creating a new site in folder ./site
myhugo new site ./site

# Serve using hugo's built-in server
# (use your currect Docker IP address in the baseUrl)
myhugo server --theme=hyde --baseUrl=http://192.168.59.103 --bind=0.0.0.0 -s ./site

# Generate public files and exit
myhugo --theme=hyde --baseUrl=http://192.168.59.103 -s ./site

Build your own

To build your own image, do this:

docker build -t joshuabradley/hugo .
