My first Golang project. Inspired by Hacking with Andrew and Brad - tip.golang.org, this Go fileserver serves my site from two folders: "BUILD_A" and "BUILD_B". When I author a new post, Git webhooks is used to trigger the update routine. The routine checks for new commit hashes and rebuilds the site if new hashes were observed.

It works like this:

Build/Serve site from BUILD A -> New Post -> (git push) -> Webhooks -> Build into BUILD_B -> Serve site from BUILD_B

You may want to modify some of the code on how it updates to fit your needs. I separated my Jekyll site and posts into two different repos; you may want to have everything in one repo.

Change the repo strings in the defaults.yml file. Add your credentials in a settings.yml file (which overrides defaults).

To build, use the included Dockerfile and run docker build . in the directory.
