I always wanted a website/blog to write articles about what I like, so today I decided to make one!
|
|
|
|
After buying a domain and setting up the server I had just to decide what to write the website with.
|
|
|
|
## Hugo
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a tech stack I wanted something simple and easy to mantain,
|
|
[Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) makes everything so easy and painless that it is too good to be true.
|
|
|
|
Just install it and then write in the terminal
|
|
```bash
|
|
hugo new site <website-name> && cd <website-name>
|
|
```
|
|
to generate the template, install a good-looking theme from the [themes page](https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/) on the Hugo website, in my case Ficurinia
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/patrickacciaioli/ficurinia themes/ficurinia
|
|
```
|
|
add the following line inside of `hugo.toml` with the greatest editor ever lived (Vim)
|
|
```toml
|
|
theme = "ficurinia"
|
|
```
|
|
Start the server with
|
|
```bash
|
|
hugo server
|
|
```
|
|
and you are ready to go. A complete blog in seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
(This is a recursive website 😵💫)
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
Building a personal website with Hugo was faster and easier than I could have ever done in plain HTML. With minimal setup and maximum flexibility, Hugo proved to be the perfect choice for my blog. Now, I can focus on writing posts worrying about the infamous [Hypertext Markup Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML).
