Toot

Written by Ron Gilbert, Esq. on 2025-01-15 at 08:28

I've decided to host my Hugo site on my own server. I need the server for other reasons, so it's not cost me anything extra. I can copy the Hugo public files to my server with rync. It takes about 2 seconds. I built it into my git push workflow, so there is no extra work on my part. It also gives me flexibility in how I host images, etc.

@grumpygamer yeah I do this also :') I have deploy.sh in the repo (not that I ever deploy anything)

@dotstdy @grumpygamer Same. Have a runlocal.sh which starts a local Hugo for writing, and a deploy.sh which does a sync to my server when I’m ready to publish. Simple 👍

@grumpygamer I do the same with my Nikola blog. Static generator + rsync is a fantastic combination if one can manage a server. Nothing's simpler and more performant than that.

@grumpygamer Nice! I host everything on GitHub, which is completely free and surprisingly fast.

@grumpygamer Not sure if you saw already, but yesterday there was a new version released to solve some security problems with rsync: https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/NEWS#3.4.0

@grumpygamer

Oh! Rsync integrated in push is not a bad idea at all! I might copy you

@grumpygamer I humbly suggest to put it behind Cloudflare (free plan is enough, that's what I'm using) because if one of your posts goes viral, it may cost you additional money for the traffic (but it depends on the host you use) or slow down everything.

@grumpygamer given the latest CVEs, you might want to check out some alternative to rsync like Unison

@grumpygamer Yes! that's the best way. Automation via CI sounds always so fancy, but web-hooks can and do fail and then you're sitting there, waiting for a dead robot. A local trigger gives instant feedback.

@console @grumpygamer That’s the exact reason why I deploy my Hugo site with Reyna as well after building it locally - I have a second step involved, so deployment is separated from development.

@grumpygamer Weren't you also concerned about performance? I hope your server is up to the task!

That being said, static hosting is not only easy on the CPU, but also easy to scale out.

@smochi My server has delivered a bloated php built site for years and weathered it just fine, this has to be faster. The site is paginated so it's not downloading 100% of the content all the time. I'm going to set up the images to go though a CDN as well.

@grumpygamer

Maybe worthit to keep #rclone in mind. This one can be considered as "rsync for cloud".

@steppl I use rclone for doing backups, but in this case rsync seemed easier.
