Hi 👋

A developer-friendly static site generator, written in Go, backed by GitHub.

To Do

Features

• Serve static files
• Add GitHub hook to notify of changes
• Define post Markdown format
• Static page generation
  • Templates
  • Single pages
  • List pages (homepage, tags)
• Helm charts
  • Persistent storage for generated site
  • Secret management
• Tests! (Probably to come later as I'm still learning Go)
• Sorting by date on tag lists
• Templates stored in source repo

Development practices

• Should I copy the application to the root of my Docker image?
• Optimise Dockerfile - seems to be rebuilding when later layers are changed
• Understand Go testing
• Understand the details of Go Modules

Future

• Micro browser support (https://24ways.org/2019/microbrowsers-are-everywhere/)
• Medium publishing
• Pipeline for site generation
  • HTML page building
  • AMP page building
  • List building
    • Index
    • By tag
    • By type

Notes

To publish a new version of the app from your local machine, build and push to Docker Hub using the below, incrementing the image tag:

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t robbell/hi:latest -t robbell/hi:1.1.x --push .

After publishing, update the image tag reference for the Container App to match.
