Running Hugo on Openshift

I moved my blog/site from Ghost to hugo. Since Ghost is a Nodejs app, it was easy to deploy in Openshift. But hugo, a static site generator was not. I looked at hacking up the Jekyll cartridge, but in the end decided to build my own. Maybe I’ll convert this into a cartridge at some point. This isn’t really mean to be a script. Mostly a recipe for you to follow along. It’s not annotated; there’s nothing particularly cryptic going on here.

rhc app-create $NAME diy
git rm *
git commit -m "Remove DIY stuff"
hugo new site .
echo "/public" > .gitignore
mkdir bin
cp ~/bin/hugo bin/
git add *
git commit -m "Adding hugo site"
