hugo - a caddy plugin
hugo fills the gap between Hugo and the browser. Hugo is an easy and fast static website generator. This plugin fills the gap between Hugo and the end-user, providing you a web interface to manage the whole website.
Using this plugin, you won't need to have your own computer to edit posts, neither regenerate your static website, because you can do all of that just through your browser. It is an implementation of hacdias/filemanager library.
Requirements: you need to have the hugo executable in your PATH. You can download it from its official page.
Get Started
To start using this plugin you just need to go to the download Caddy page and choose http.hugo
in the directives section. For further information on how Caddy works refer to its documentation.
The default credentials are admin
for both the user and the password. It is highy recommended to change them after logging in for the first time and to use HTTPS. You can create more users and define their own permissions using the web interface.
Syntax
hugo [directory] [admin] {
database path
}
directory
is the path, relative or absolute to the directory of your Hugo files. Defaults to./
.admin
is the URL path where you will access the admin interface. Defaults to/admin
.path
is the database path where the settings will be stored. By default, the settings will be stored on.caddy
folder.
Database
By default the database will be stored on .caddy
directory, in a sub-directory called hugo
. Each file name is an hash of the combination of the host and the base URL.
If you don't set a database path, you will receive a warning like this:
[WARNING] A database is going to be created for your File Manager instace at ~/.caddy/hugo/xxx.db. It is highly recommended that you set the 'database' option to 'xxx.db'
Why? If you don't set a database path and you change the host or the base URL, your settings will be reseted. So it is highly recommended to set this option.
When you set a relative path, such as xxxxxxxxxx.db
, it will always be relative to .caddy/hugo
directory. Although, you may also use an absolute path if you wish to store the database in other place.
Examples
Manage the current working directory's Hugo website at /admin
.
hugo {
database myinstance.db
}
Manage the Hugo website located at /var/www/mysite
at /admin
.
hugo /var/www/mysite {
database myinstance.db
}
Manage the Hugo website located at /var/www/mysite
at /private
.
hugo /var/www/mysite /private {
database myinstance.db
}
Known Issues
If you are having troubles handling large files you might need to check out the timeouts
plugin, which can be used to change the default HTTP Timeouts.
