Heroku buildpack for Hugo, the static site generator - https://github.com/spf13/hugo

Primary LanguageShell

[🍴 Fork Alert 🍴]

This is a slightly-modified fork of @roperzh's Hugo buildpack. We have made a few changes and additions to suit our static content needs at Test Double.

  • Any build failures will now cause the script to exit with a non-zero status, which in turn will cause Heroku to recognize that the build has failed and prevent a broken build's deployment. (See this commit)
  • So that you can toggle behavior of the Hugo build based on the environment (using the [getenv](https://gohugo.io/functions/getenv/#readout) function, for example), all of the environment variables set on the Heroku dyno are assigned (by default, they're only available to the buildpack as readable files in a directory)
  • If you define executable files in script/pre-hugo-build and script/post-hugo-build, those will be run before and after the hugo build. This can be useful for fetching supporting assets prior to running the build and trimming the size of the Heroku slug prior to the compile phase's exit
  • To make absolutely certain that there are no out-of-date cached items or residual assets from a previous build, the hugo command is run with both --cleanDestinationDir and --ignoreCache flags

Heroku buildpack: Hugo

This is a Heroku buildpack for sites powered by Hugo. It uses the latest stable version of Hugo.

Usage

Create a Heroku application using this buildpack:

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

or configure your existent application:

$ heroku buildpacks:set BUILDPACK_URL="https://github.com/roperzh/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

Here is an example application, and here is the code.

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://
