Changes in Hugo configuration with newer Hugo version

[petrasovaa]

I have now Hugo 0.110.0 and I had to do these changes to run hugo and display images:

diff --git a/config.toml b/config.toml

Same on my local (Fedora) machine.

However, on the Debian server we still have:

hugo 0.80.0-6+b5

According to @echoix in https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/312#issuecomment-1687963262:

The default and Commonmark-Compliant renderer is Goldmark since v0.61 (gohugoio/hugo#5963 in 2019).

we may simply switch to "goldmark" which would also be supported in Debian's oldish hugo 0.80.0-6+b5?

I've been checking old hugo tags and goldmark updates appear as far as v0.65... so, it should be fine with v0.80, I guess. In any case, is it possible to update hugo in the server?

In any case, is it possible to update hugo in the server?

We are on Debian "bullseye" which offers hugo 0.80.0-6+b5.

According to https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=hugo:

• seems that "bullseye-backports" offers hugo 0.104.3-1~bpo11+1
• not sure which mess we may get activating "bullseye-backports" on the server?

Hugo is a go binary, which are fully statically compiled (and single file). You could download the binary from a release, or if go is available on the system, go install ... and in 10 seconds you'd have it available (or even go run ... since go compilation is that fast and easy, you can just run from source).

The issue of having the old version on the server could be avoided like that.

The more appropriate solution, that we don't seem ready yet, would be to do like what a hosting should be like, to compile on one side, and then deploy the site (content) afterwards to the hosting server.

For a test, I have compiled and installed go and then a fresh hugo version:

neteler@grasslxd:~$ hugo version
hugo v0.123.8+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

Locally on the server I have changed the renderer to "goldmark", but it won't build the site:

This requires a PR (volunteers?).

For now I have re-installed hugo 0.80 to keep the site running.

I get the same error in my local tests, but the

+[markup.goldmark.renderer]
+  unsafe = true

that @petrasovaa suggested in https://github.com/OSGeo/grass-website/issues/394#issue-1938733015 solved it, and it compiles without errors. So, that's how I use it locally to test changes.

I'm now updating hugo on grass.osgeo.org:

# https://gohugo.io/installation/linux/#build-from-source
VERSION="v0.113"
CGO_ENABLED=1 go install -tags extended github.com/gohugoio/hugo@${VERSION}
