OpenFaaS template for Hugo

This template allows you to deploy hugo sites using OpenFaaS. It simply copies over the contents of your hugo site, builds it into the public directory and then uses a very lightweight static server that serves the content and provides a healtcheck that follows the standards from OpenFaaS.

Usage

Create the hugo function:

git init
faas template pull https://github.com/matipan/openfaas-hugo-template
faas new --lang hugo -g <openfaas gateway url> --prefix <docker hub username> example-site

This will create a folder called example-site, cd into it and now create the site with this instructions from the hugo quickstart guide:

hugo new site .
git submodule add https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke.git themes/ananke
echo 'theme = "ananke"' >> config.toml

At this point you can run hugo server in that directory to build and test your site locally without needing to deploy it to OpenFaaS. Remember to update the baseURL found in the config.toml to the domain that you will be using.
