Scope
This is a tutorial/demo of getting hugo to work with code-enginefrom IBM Cloud.
Prerequisites
- You need hugo installed, there’s a few different installation paths, check this out.
- Create a GitHub repostiory that you can push your
hugosite to.
Steps
hugo static site generator
- First thing you need to do is create a example hugo site, you run the following command: NOTE :
code-engine-hugois just an example name
$ hugo new site code-engine-hugo
Congratulations! Your new Hugo site is created in /code-engine-hugo.
Just a few more steps and you're ready to go:
2. Download a theme into the same-named folder.
Choose a theme from https://themes.gohugo.io/ or
create your own with the "hugo new theme <THEMENAME>" command.
3. Perhaps you want to add some content. You can add single files
with "hugo new <SECTIONNAME>/<FILENAME>.<FORMAT>".
4. Start the built-in live server via "hugo server".
Visit https://gohugo.io/ for quickstart guide and full documentation.
- Next test your site and create a
gitrepository, follow these next directions:
$ cd /code-engine-hugo
$ git init
$ git submodule add https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke.git themes/ananke
$ echo theme = \"ananke\" >> config.toml
$ hugo new posts/my-first-post.md
$ vim content/posts/my-first-post.md # just fill it with dummy text
$ hugo server -D
You should be able to see a site that says “My New Hugo Site”. The my-first-post.mdhas a draft: true, when you want to make it real change that to false.
Now when you make changes or add posts you can run hugo (without drafts) and the new site will be recreated in public/ in that directory.
Push your new site up to the GitHub repository and create the Dockerfile, and we’ll start configuring code engine next.
$ cd /code-engine-hugo
$ cat << EOF >> Dockerfile [45/104]
FROM klakegg/hugo:latest
ADD . /src
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["hugo", "server", "--port", "8080"]
EOF
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "inital commit"
$ git push origin main
- Just as a sanity check, lets verify that the container we have/built will work locally. Run the following commands and to test it:
$ docker build -t jjasghar/code-engine-hugo-example .
$ docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 jjasghar/code-engine-hugo-example:latest server

Now that we have our repository on GitHub, login to the IBM Cloudconsole. 
You should come to the [overview][codeengine-overview] page. 
Now take your repository from above and add it to the “Start with source code” entry box. 
And click “Start creating”
If you haven’t created a project yet, create one where I’m pointing to, or select one like I have as “jjtesting”. 
Scroll down and click the “Specifiy build details” and put in / as your root directory. hugo needs to be able to find the config.toml file.
You’ll need to make sure it can see your Dockerfile and add your credentails to Docker Hub. This will create a repository for you and push this container to it.
Click “Done”, and “Create.”
Now if you open up the application URL you should have the hugo site!
