I am using Hugo to build this website and it made sense for me to automate this.
The first step on that journey is to create a container to use for the static site files generation.
I’ll be using OpenSuse as a base as I’m comfortable with it.
Container file
I came up with the following Containerfile
FROM opensuse/tumbleweed:latest
RUN zypper -n in hugo && \
zypper -n clean
COPY --chmod=555 container-entrypoint.sh /usr/local/bin/
WORKDIR /src
EXPOSE 1313
ENTRYPOINT [ "container-entrypoint.sh" ]
CMD [ "hugo" ]
The container-entrypoint.sh file checks for source files and will abort if none are found.
Build image
podman build -t teknikuglen/hugo-builder:latest -f Containerfile .
Run container
The container also serves draft files when the -D switch is used.
podman run --rm -v $(pwd)/src:/src -p 127.0.0.1:1313:1313 teknikuglen/hugo-builder hugo server -D
Generate output files
The following is the command to run to generate the final files you can use on your web server.
podman run --rm -v $(pwd)/src:/src teknikuglen/hugo-builder hugo -d /src/site_build
Conclusion
So that’s one container ready. If you are interested in the source files they can be found in my git repo at podman-hugo🔗
