+I'm a big proponent of having offline copies of content. Especially when I'm on travel and don't have easy Internet access. Using the built in hugo webserver and a reverse proxy, I will show how we can host a local mirror of a Hugo site.
+
+## Systemd Service
+
+To begin with, let's create a systemd service that will start up the Hugo webserver automatically. To demonstrate this, I will show a mirror of my website.
+
+Edit `/usr/lib/systemd/system/brandonrozek.service`
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Mirror of brandonrozek.com
+Wants=httpd.service
+After=httpd.service
+
+[Service]
+User=brandon
+Type=simple
+WorkingDirectory=/home/brandon/repo/brandonrozek.com
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/hugo serve --appendPort=false -D -p 22160 -b http://localhost/brandonrozek
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+Replace `httpd` with whatever reverse proxy service this depends on. For every site you mirror, you need to make sure that the port (specified by `-p`) is different. 
+
+Now let's start and enable the service.
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl start brandonrozek
+sudo systemctl enable brandonrozek
+```
+
+## Nginx Config
+
+If you are using Nginx as your reverse proxy, we will need to create a config at `/etc/nginx/sites-available/brandonrozek.conf`.
+
+```nginx
+server {
+    location /brandonrozek {
+        proxy_pass http://localhost:22160;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; 
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Then to enable it.
+
+```bash
+sudo ln -s \
+        /etc/nginx/sites-available/brandonrozek.conf \
+        /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
+sudo systemctl restart httpd
+```
+
+## Apache HTTPD Config
+
+If you are using apache as your reverse proxy, create a config at `/etc/httpd/conf.d/brandonrozek.conf`
+
+```
+<Location /brandonrozek>
+    ProxyPass http://localhost:22160/brandonrozek retry=0 timeout=5
+    ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:22160/brandonrozek
+    ProxyPreserveHost On
+
+    Order allow,deny
+    Allow from all
+</Location>
+```
+
+Then restart the `httpd` service.
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart httpd
+```
+
