I'm fairly new to containers and I've tried using containers in the past, I've never really got the point, but I'm starting to see their worth. However, I don't like the idea of giving complete root access to the containers.
To get myself familiar with the whole concept I'm usingHugo, Hugo is one of the most popular open-source static site generators(Yep stole it from their website :D)
This assumes you have podman up and running on Centos or Archlinux or any distro of your choice, its fairly simple to setup if you need to.
Centos 7 or 8
yum install podmanordnf install podmanArchlinux
pacman -Syu podmanor yay -Syu podmanUbuntu
sudo apt-get install hugoSo theofficial docs suggest installing hugo either on your local machine using your favorite package manager or you can use it via podman.
Once again they have official packages in the repo so nocurl -sSL URL| bash is required here.
You can get started by following the guides here forCentos,ArchLinux andUbuntu or Debian.
To get started I use the suggesteddocker image, its fairly simple to get started for example if you want to create a new hugo blog you can simply do this.
$ mkdir blog$ cd blogpodman run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/src:z klakegg/hugo:0.82.0 new site quickstartTrying to pull docker.io/klakegg/hugo:0.82.0...Getting image source signaturesCopying blob e09912d331e4 done ...Writing manifest to image destinationStoring signaturesCongratulations! Your new Hugo site is created in /src/quickstart.Where the flags mean the following
--rm Remove container after exiting-d Detach after running-i Interactive-t Provides a TTY-v $(pwd):/src:z This mounts the current working directory to the /src directory in the container. klakegg/hugo:0.82.0 Image Name"new site" Performs hugo new sitequickstart Site NameThe:Z and:z Are quite important when it comes to SELinux, basically:z lets the containers change the SELinux contexts from what I've seen and the:Z doesn't more information hereSelinux With Containers. Please do not disable SELinux incase you get some errors. Remove the:z if you're not using SELinux.
If the installation has completed successfully you should see the following.
Just a few more steps and you're ready to go:1. Download a theme into the same-named folder. Choose a theme from https://themes.gohugo.io/ or create your own with the "hugo new theme <THEMENAME>" command.2. Perhaps you want to add some content. You can add single files with "hugo new <SECTIONNAME>/<FILENAME>.<FORMAT>".3. Start the built-in live server via "hugo server".Visit https://gohugo.io/ for quickstart guide and full documentation.```That's it you have your initial project ready!! Pat yourself on the back cause it was fun.In the next post I will show you how to create posts, install a theme and build the static site using hugo and then finally serve the websites using Apache, stay tuned.Top comments(0)
