Caddy-hugo fills the gap between Hugo and the browser. Hugo is an easy, blazing fast and awesome static website generator. This plugin fills the gap between Hugo and the end-user, providing you an web interface to manage the whole website.

The following information is directed to developers. If you just want to use it, read the documentation at Caddy website.

Requirements

• Go 1.4 or higher
• caddydev
• go-bindata
• Node.js w/ npm (optional)

If you want to go deeper and make changes in front-end assets like JavaScript or CSS, you'll need to install the optional tools listed above.

Get it and build

1. Open the terminal.
2. Run go get github.com/hacdias/caddy-hugo.
3. Navigate to the clone path.
4. If you want to make changes in the front-end change the last comment in the beginning of hugo.go file to //go:generate go-bindata -debug -pkg assets -o assets/assets.go templates/ assets/css/ assets/js/ assets/fonts/; execute npm install in the root of caddy-hugo clone. Then, run grunt watch.
5. Run go generate.
6. Open the folder with your static website and create a Caddyfile. Read the docs for more information about the directives of this plugin.
