I am building my Hugo website on a local LXC container, using Gitea and Drone. There are plenty of tutorials on how to connected those two together, so I won’t go through that here.
Instead I want to show you how I build and deploy my staging and production environment to Nginx — using atomic deployments and unique preview URLs.
In my previous post I wrote about turning Hugo aliases into Firebase redirects. Now — let’s convert them into a Nginx map file, and have Nginx redirect based on that file.
Using Firebase and Hugo? Use front matter aliases to automatically add redirects to your firebase.json configuration. Turning your aliases into proper 301 or 302 redirects.
It’s not long ago that I redesigned this website, and now — two months later I am doing it again… So why?
