This message, related to the development of the theme, only displays on the localhost homepage to notify you of any important theme changes.


Version 1.1.0 - May 18, 2020

With this version, the theme has fully implemented static search using lunr.js. That being said, a few modifications were necessary to implement this feature.

To utilize this, or future version of Hugo Future Imperfect Slim, please make the following changes:

  1. Add the following to your config.toml before [params]:
...
disableLanguages = [""]

[outputs]
    home = ["html", "json"]

[params]
...
  1. Remove the underscore from all about and contact page file names: _index.md --> index.md

  2. Add layout = "about" or layout = "contact" to all of the files you just just adjusted the file names for.

While I realize this is inconvenient, I hope that it is worth it to you in the long run. Thanks for using the theme, and feel free to submit issues as needed.

When I first started looking at this, I thought it would be a sizeable read, but in reality it wasn’t. I will take you through all the steps needed to get you up and running on and using Amazon S3 and CloudFront to host and secure your website and then walk through some typical costs and why I elected to go this route instead of self hosting.

I have used Dynamic DNS for many years and it has worked well for ensuring that my domain name or home network is accessible via the interweb, when my ISP chooses to update my IP address. I wanted to try and emulate the same behaviour within Kubernetes.

Kubernetes for Websites

Using Kubernetes for Websites, and what an absolute joy it is.

I want to use this post to describe how to deploy a website on your kubernetes cluster. Once more even though we could do this via the Dashboard I think it is better to learn Kubernetes via the CLI and it is also good practice to understand the YAML spec that is used extensively to configure Kubernetes deployments.

The evolution of my blog from Pelican to Hugo

I periodically like to refresh the look and feel of my blog and I been on a journey over the years from initially using Wordpress to embracing the simplicity and speed of static websites. As a python fan I was initial drawn to Pelican but in my most recent search for an updated theme, I have started to realise even though I still like idea of Pelican I am no longer as passionate about it as I once was. We have a new kid on the block.
