# DOMAIN='' sh -c 'cat /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/fullchain.pem /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/privkey.pem > /etc/haproxy/certs/$DOMAIN.pem' Mostly, we need to take Let’s Encrypt cert chain and prep is for HAProxy. HAProxy setup requires one or two tricks. HAProxy is the tool we are going to use to serve hugo content over HTTPS. Once completed, you should have a full cert chain in /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live// HAProxy Introduction The setup is interactive, so please follow through. $ certbot certonly -webroot -w ~/blog//static/ -d Setup a temp /.well-known/ dir to communicate with Lets Encrypt.If not done already, install root CA certs.We are going to use certbot to handle certificate generation. Setup on FreeBSD is pretty straight forward, with one or two tricks. Let’s Encrypt is a free CA which you can use to get signed SSL certs for your domain(s). However since it default binds to :1313, hugo decides to generate perma links in the form This is not ideal, so we need to specify –appendPort=false so links are not broken by proxying the content.Īt this point, it’s good to read the configuration guide, and also to shop around for themes. Note: Hugo generates links based on the baseURL specified above. If you use pygments server side code highlighting, you’re going to need to set a PATH which contains both the hugo binary, and the pygments binary. Once you are happy with this, you can add this to an crontab, since there are no init scripts as present. Lastly, starting hugo’s HTTP server: $ hugo serve -baseURL ' -appendPort=false Hugo will create a new, mostly empty post in ~/blog//content/post/first.md. You’ll now see hugo has created it’s document root in ~/blog/. To create a new root in ~/blog/: $ mkdir ~/blog Ensure binary goes into /usr/local/sbin or similar (ie: in $PATH).While it contains an inbuilt web server for serving clients, it does not yet (As of v0.18.1) support SSL. Hugo is a very simple platform for rendering webpages from markdown. This article serves as a very brief introduction on how to install and setup hugo, and serve this out of a root domain via HTTPS on FreeBSD using HAProxy and Let’s Encrypt.
