Would you mind doing a brief screencast on how to setup and use caddy-hugo? It would be extremely helpful to see how you install and setup and use Hugo for Caddy.

Sure thing. I'll try and have one up by wednesday. Here's what I consider the most important things:

1) Get caddy with hugo extension from caddy's web site. Move the "caddy" binary to /usr/bion

tar xvf caddy.tar.gz
mv caddy /usr/bin

2) Make a Caddyfile in the folder you want to serve content from and edit content with caddy-hugo. This was tough for me. Here's mine:

cat Caddyfile
sharebitstalk.io www.sharebitstalk.io technologistguild.com www.technologistguild.com {
gzip                                                            # tells caddy to compress traffic
proxy /         192.168.191.206:80                              # / tells caddy that it should proxy to the folder / and 192.168.191.206:80 Tells Caddy what URL to proxy at /
tls             email=jake@klouds.org                           # Tells let's encrypt your e-mail address
}

chat.sharebitstalk.io {
gzip
proxy /         192.168.191.206:8065
tls             email=jake@klouds.org
}

klouds.org www.klouds.org {
gzip
tls             email=jake@klouds.org
root            /root/hugo-semantic-homepage-starter/dist       # Tells CADDY which folder to serve as the root
basicauth       /admin faddat *******                         # protect the admin area using HTTP basic auth
hugo            /root/hugo-semantic-homepage-starter            # Tells HUGO which folder to execute in
}

3) Save your Caddyfile and run caddy with the command, executed in the same folder as the Caddyfile.

Hello @bzerangue! Like to hear that someone is using (or trying to use) caddy-hugo! Hope you enjoy and hope @faddat can help! Thanks for helping @faddat :)

[faddat]

Sure thing! Thinks for the awesome tool, @hacdias!

[hacdias]

You're welcome :D

With Docker, it's easy. Go to the folder containing the Hugo project, then

docker run -d -v $(pwd):/srv -p 2015:2015 ludovicc/caddy-hugo

Does anyone have a good guide for doing screencasts? I've made this one twice now but it takes an hour to show what shouldn't be longer than 15 minutes....

[hacdias]

I've never done that so I can't help you with that :(

[hacdias]

I'll close this issue right now because of the lack of the activity on it. If you want to reopen it, just tell me. :+1:

I know this is 8 mos old, but I'd like to see this screencast. I've been reading through the issues and documentations, etc and I am still having some trouble getting caddy + hugo hosted on github to work properly :(

[hacdias]

Hello @liz-miller, if you really need it, I could do it in the weekend probably, but tell me: what have you already done and where is it failing? 🙂

[liz-miller]

I've completed the following:

• installed Hugo
• created a Hugo site & content
• created a GitHub repo to host using gitpages
• configured my domain to point to the GitHub pages URL
• made my site live (www.queenflex.com)

Now what I want to do is add caddy-Hugo for the ability to blog anywhere.

I've done the following for caddy:

• downloaded caddy with Hugo extension
• added caddy to the path
• attempted at a caddy file, but it's failed --> I'm suck here

I'm not at my computer now, but I will send you the caddyfile and output errors later on.

It's probably something simple I'm missing...

To use caddy-hugo you'll need to have it set up on your own server but it seems you're using Github Pages. Anyway, if you can send me the Caddyfile I can check if it has got any error related to hugo 😄

[liz-miller]

I see. Well that could be the reason for my problems. I didn't realize I couldn't host using github -_-

You can host a Hugo website using Github Pages but you can't use Caddy + this plugin with github pages.

[liz-miller]

will Caddy + Caddy-Hugo work with hosting on AWS?

[hacdias]

I'm not sure how does AWS work (never used it). But if it's like a VPS it will work for sure.
