Deploy hugo site to aws using apex up

apex up is a great tool made by tj.

to know what it is capable of, you can read introducing apex up and github.com/apex/up.

here is my experience for deploy hugo site with apex up.

1. first make sure you configure aws IAM right.

create a IAM user with appropriate permission in aws iam console.

make sure static-basic demo can be deployed just using up. run up url -o to check your deploy.

you can use up stack delete to destroy the entire stack.

2. create a up.json in hugo site root folder.

{
  "name": "app",
  "profile": "apex",
  "regions": [
    "ap-northeast-1"
  ],
  "type": "static",
  "static": {
    "dir": "public"
  },
  "stages": {
	  "staging": {
      "static": {
        "prefix": "staging/"
      },
      "hooks":{
        "build": "hugo -b /staging/"
      }
    },
    "production": {
      "static": {
        "prefix": "production/"
      },
      "hooks":{
        "build": "hugo -b /production/"
      }
    }
  }
}

# .gitignore
*
!public/**

details about config as below:

• profile is the name in your ~/.aws/credetails config in first step.

• region is the region you want to deploy

• type static specifiy up static server to serve it.

• dir specify folder you want to deploy. by default the current directory (.) is served, however you can change this using the dir setting.

• hooks overwrites up default build task. up config validate and output configuration with defaults applied.

• stages config stage overrides.

just change the name for your site when you deploy. maybe profile and regions.
