Configuration and content for my personal blog.

For more detail on this approach to deploying a static site, see the write up on the blog: Hello World | Hosting this Blog on Kubernetes

Writing and previewing a post

Prerequisites:

• Go
• g++ (gcc-c++)

Building the site:

# this will install hugo if not present
make build

Serving a development version of the site for live preview:

make serve

Remove generated files:

make clean

Remove generated files and hugo binary

make full-clean

Publishing

To publish a post, I simply commit and push to this repo.

git add .
git commit -m "add new post"
git push

This triggers a Github Actions workflow which renders the site to the live branch which is served by a nginx pod with a git-sync sidecar.
