Heroku-style buildpack for Hugo-extended

This is a Heroku buildpack for sites powered by Hugo. Unlike the original version of this buildpack, it specifically uses hugo-extended.

It currently uses Hugo-extended v0.54.0 by default; you can override this by setting the environment variable HUGO_VERSION.

Note that you must correctly define the environment version as it is shown on the hugo releases page, as a number with no prefixed 'v'. That means it should be in the semver format x.x.x, eg 0.56.3.

This code has been tested and known to work with [Dokku][https://github.com/dokku/dokku] (which is why I built it in the first place).

Usage

Create a Heroku application using this buildpack:

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/infovore/heroku-buildpack-hugo.git

or configure your existent application:

$ heroku buildpacks:set BUILDPACK_URL="https://github.com/infovore/heroku-buildpack-hugo.git"

Optionally, define a HUGO_VERSION Config Var to specify the Hugo version you wish to use:

$ heroku config:set HUGO_VERSION=0.25

Then simply git push to heroku and open your application!

$ git push heroku master
$ heroku open

Using themes

This buildpack provides a simple api to use custom themes, just add a .hugotheme file in the root of your application with the url of your theme.

Example

To fetch the great hyde theme:

https://github.com/spf13/hyde.git

Alternative method

If you don't like the idea of a .hugotheme file, you can simply manage your themes with git submodules. Heroku will take care to fetch all the submodules in your project.

Important notes

Don't forget to configure your hugo baseurl with the url of your application, using https:// not http://
