## Assumptions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. You have an account with [Firebase][signup]. (If you don't, you can sign up for free using your Google account.)
|
||
|
|
2. You have completed the [Quick Start][] or have a completed Hugo website ready for deployment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Initial setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to the [Firebase console][console] and create a new project (unless you already have a project). You will need to globally install `firebase-tools` (node.js):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
npm install -g firebase-tools
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Log in to Firebase (setup on your local machine) using `firebase login`, which opens a browser where you can select your account. Use `firebase logout` in case you are already logged in but to the wrong account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
firebase login
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
In the root of your Hugo project, initialize the Firebase project with the `firebase init` command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
firebase init
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
From here:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Choose Hosting in the feature question
|
||
|
|
2. Choose the project you just set up
|
||
|
|
3. Accept the default for your database rules file
|
||
|
|
4. Accept the default for the publish directory, which is `public`
|
||
|
|
5. Choose "No" in the question if you are deploying a single-page app
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Deploy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To deploy your Hugo site, execute the `firebase deploy` command, and your site will be up in no time:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
hugo && firebase deploy
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## CI Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can generate a deploy token using
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
firebase login:ci
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also set up your CI (e.g., with [Wercker][]) and add the token to a private variable like `$FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
||
|
|
This is a private secret and it should not appear in a public repository. Make sure you understand your chosen CI and that it's not visible to others.
|
||
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can then add a step in your build to do the deployment using the token:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
firebase deploy --token $FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
