Braindump

Collection of my notes using the Zettelkasten method and Org-Roam.

The braindump is a site generated via ox-hugo and hugo, ox-hugo transforms the .org files into .md and hugo uses them to build a webpage.

My setup is pretty much a copy of Jethrokuan’s braindump but using a modified theme Cortex-Tex-Dark.

Installing instructions.

The installation is comprised into two parts:

Converting them using ox-hugo

Put all files in a folder

Run build.py

• Install ninja build.py uses ninja in order to convert all files at once.
• Setup your build.py I made my so that I only need to change the mypath variable. Also maybe the glob1 or glob2 variables according to where the folder with the org files is.
• Check the publish.el file I changed the file that from Jethrokuan’s braindump in order to use an older version of org-roam. Also, I added the content_path as a variable.
• Run build.py

Run hugo

Place the config.toml in the root folder

Add a theme

Use the config.toml to state which theme are you going to use.

Run hugo

In the root folder execute hugo in the terminal.

hugo server

You can view the generated website by running hugo server in the terminal and open the resulting link.

Considerations

The resulting files from hugo are placed in a folder named public. You can separate your core files from the generated hugo files using a submodule.

I did as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIFvgrRxdt4 and made two repositories on github, one for the core content and the other for the site generated by hugo. I can run the site using gihub pages.

Also I made a submodule for my theme in order to keep things organized and put it on github (Cortex-Tex-Dark).
