publysher/hugo is a Docker base image for static sites generated with Hugo.
Images derived from this image can either run as a stand-alone server, or function as a volume image for your web server.
The image is based on the following directory structure:
.
├── Dockerfile
└── site
├── config.toml
├── content
│ └── ...
├── layouts
│ └── ...
└── static
└── ...
In other words, your Hugo site resides in the site directory, and you have a simple Dockerfile:
FROM publysher/hugo
Based on this structure, you can easily build an image for your site:
docker build -t my/image .
Your site is automatically generated during this build.
There are two options for using the image you generated:
- as a stand-alone image
- as a volume image for your webserver
Using your image as a stand-alone image is the easiest:
docker run -p 1313:1313 my/image
This will automatically start hugo server, and your blog is now available on http://localhost:1313.
If you are using boot2docker, you need to adjust the base URL:
docker run -p 1313:1313 -e HUGO_BASE_URL=http://YOUR_DOCKER_IP:1313 my/image
The image is also suitable for use as a volume image for a web server, such as nginx
docker run -d -v /usr/share/nginx/html --name site-data my/image
docker run -d --volumes-from site-data --name site-server -p 80:80 nginx
