Hugo Rewrite edition

Installation and setup

1. Clone this repository, using something like... git clone git@github.com:ucfai/ucfai.org.
2. Checkout the hugo-migration branch, this is what we'll be working from.
3. Make sure you run git submodule update --init --recursive to properly "install" hugo-academic.
4. From the repository root, run: docker-compose up.

You'll find the site is live at [http://localhost:8234](http://localhost:8234).

Interaction with the Docker Container

We're using docker-compose to simplify and standardize the development/build process. Because of this, you need to become semi-familiar with the docker-compose CLI interface.

To start the container:

docker-compose up

This will start the container and attach the log output to your current terminal window.

To start the container in a detached state:

docker-compose up -d

This will start the container in a detached state, which allows it to persist (continue running) beyond the terminal window. All it requires is that docker is running on your host machine.

To access the log from this container:

docker-compose logs hugo-ucfai-org

As this container is named, you'll only be able to spawn a single instance of it (which makes it trivial to access the logs, too). As a build system, hugo dumps all errors to this log, so you'll be able to catch a glimpse of what's going on by running the above command.

Personal recommendation: Run docker-compose up whenever you're developing, the latter methods of running are useful, but can make it a bit difficult to track down errors until you've gotten into the headspace work with docker, which takes a bit.
