Deploying This Blog

Prerequisit

You have created a website using Hugo following my first posting.

Detailed steps

If you are using a cloud provider to host your content serverless e.g. AWS S3 you can simply configure a deployment configuration and run hugo deploy

see details here: https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hugo-deploy/

Be careful when u are using AWS CloudFront for distribution or security reasons.

There is a problem to load the index.html files located in subdirectories.

To solve this problem I had to deploy a Lambda@Edge function.

Of cause you can also simple copy your public folder gernerated by Hugo to your webserver 😉

Deploying new content

Create new empty blog post

hugo new posts/another-posting.md

Edit this file using your favorite editor. Than compile and preview it.

hugo
hugo server

Finaly publish your new post

hugo deploy --dryRun
hugo deploy

That’s it
