Will the circleci test start passing after this is merged or is it very broken?

[theycallmemac]

Conflicts with some commits I made a few hours ago, once he has those files, it should be passing ci again and good to merge.

[butlerx]

while chatting too @m1cr0man offline he mentioned a possible rewrite id like to suggest using hugo and using https://caddyserver.com/docs/http.hugo

this will have to manually deployed now by one of the @admins

[theycallmemac]

We talked about the idea last Thursday with @Frazl

A hugo replacement would be very nice. Probably not as extendable as hexo is, but then again, we only use some of the existing extensions.

[butlerx]

I think you'll find that a lot of the extensions that are used in hugo can be taken care of by some nice templates in hugo.

Using caddy you can also get a lot of the minification advantages you got in hexo

[butlerx]

a hugo rewite would also mean sistem, redbrick and admin-blog would all be the same platform

[m1cr0man]

Hm, that last one is a pretty compelling argument.

I will look into what we can do with Hugo then, and how the other 2 sites are currently set up/what differs between them (if anything).

My main concern with these templating engines is that once you want to deviate from the template it gets more complex than it is worth.

[butlerx]

this convo may want to be moved to an issue. I think sistem has a bit of a unique set up as it uses scss and es6 for client stuff but the templating and md rendering is all hugo.

admin-blog is just plain css and no js

ping me with any questions

[theycallmemac]

Yeah, all three being one and the same would be nice. Best move it to issue for now like you say

[butlerx]

tests are now passing, when an admin is available to deploy the new container and very its all working you can merge

it should be noted the reason tests were not working was one of the dependency upgrades I tried mangled the use of <!-- more --> so I reverted all dependencies
