What's this site?

Hugo

Static site generator, takes markdown pages and generates site, serve from a s3 bucket wrapped with cloud front.

Some notes from setting it up (mostly for myself in case I have to do this again):

• Markdown: https://www.markdownguide.org/tools/hugo/
• S3/CloudFront instructions: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/host-static-site-aws-s3-cloudfront/
  • NOTE: Had to re-generate certificate in us-east-1 (not my default) before cloudfront could find it
  • The bucket policy was necessary or once you re-upload something it reset
• Deploying from Hugo: https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hugo-deploy/
  • NOTE: Can set the AWS_PROFILE env variable to select profile if you use multiple accounts in ~/.aws/credentials
• Can set the googleAnalytics key in main config.toml to get analytics https://gohugo.io/templates/internal/
• Seems configs are pretty specific per theme. e.g. where to set social accounts is not standard. I had to choose a theme compatible with old versions of hugo due to .. reasons.
• Also pulled in https://purecss.io/grids/ and this short code to do grids of images: http://yoshiharuyamashita.com/post/hugo-shortcode-to-show-multiple-images/ To add css put in static/css and include as /css/... To include extra css file, add the link to layouts/partials/head_custom.html
