README.md

itguyeric.com

Personal site and blog for Eric "the IT Guy" Hendricks — Linux, DevOps, open source, and homelab. Built with Hugo and the Congo theme, served as a static site from a self-hosted homelab (Podman + SWAG on Fedora bootc).

Stack

  • Hugo Extended (static site generator) + Congo theme (git submodule)
  • Markdown content in content/blog/, taxonomy by tags and series
  • Responsive images via Hugo's asset pipeline (assets/wp-content/)
  • Deployed as plain HTML behind SWAG (nginx). See deploy/.

Local development

Requires Hugo Extended (match the version used to build — check hugo version) and the theme submodule.

git clone --recurse-submodules <repo-url>
cd itguyeric.com
# if you already cloned without submodules:
git submodule update --init --recursive

./scripts/preview.sh        # live preview at http://localhost:1313 (drafts enabled)

Production build

Never deploy the hugo server output — it hard-codes the URL to localhost. Always generate the deployable public/ with a real build:

hugo --minify --gc --cleanDestinationDir

baseURL (https://itguyeric.com/) comes from config/_default/hugo.toml.

Deploying

The site serves as static files from SWAG. See deploy/README.md and deploy/swag/ for the site-conf and a build-and-publish script.
