End of Year Domain Migration

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 21:30:16 -0500

Introduction

After much deliberation, indecision, and a good while of no action I finally said “Enough is enough!” and purchased myself the domain name - fearempty.com . I needed this domain name because when I initially setup this website I did so with a subdomain created by a friend who owned another full domain! With my own full domain, I’m able to upgrade and improve my self-hosting setup with sub domains that can routing traffic to specific services. This post will go into detail on some of the setup involved with the domain migration I completed in my self-hosting enviornment and this website in particular blog.fearempty.com .

Goal

Create a website where I’m be able to post blog style content in the pursuit to improve my writing capabilities as well as organize my thoughts and opinons on the things that interest me.

Implementation

Created using Hugo static HTML generator! https://gohugo.io/
Docker containerized nginx server.
The website uses the custome theme ‘smol’ by colorchestra. https://github.com/colorchestra/smol
Emojis = ✔️

How I got here

Discovered the HTML static site generator Hugo online and found it very intersting and almost exactly what I was looking for to quickly setup a blog web app. Web development and scripting are both required to use Hugo effectively. Currently, I am using the free Visual Studio Code software as my IDE. I have it setup with it’s Remote SSH extention which I can use to remotely connect to the host and update the website files live. This is a lot better than using nano or vim on the host itself! 😄
