Nanobox provides an entire end-to-end workflow for developing and deploying applications. Using Nanobox to deploy also means you'll use it to develop your application.

## What You'll Need
|
|
|
|
With Nanobox you don't need to worry about having Go or Hugo installed. They'll be installed as part of the development environment created for you.
|
|
|
|
To get started you'll just need the following three items:
|
|
|
|
* [A Nanobox Account](https://nanobox.io) - Signup is free
|
|
* [Nanobox Desktop](https://dashboard.nanobox.io/download) - The free desktop development tool
|
|
* An account with a hosting provider such as:
|
|
- [AWS](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/aws/)
|
|
- [Google](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/gcp/)
|
|
- [Azure](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/azure/)
|
|
- [DigitalOcean](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/digitalocean/)
|
|
- [Linode](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/linode/)
|
|
- [More...](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/)
|
|
- [Roll Your Own](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/create/)
|
|
|
|
### Before You Begin
|
|
|
|
There are a few things to get out of the way before diving into the guide. To deploy, you'll need to make sure you have connected a host account to your Nanobox account, and launched a new application.
|
|
|
|
#### Connect a Host Account
|
|
|
|
Nanobox lets you choose where to host your application (AWS, DigitalOcean, Google, Azure, etc.). In the [Hosting Accounts](https://dashboard.nanobox.io/provider_accounts) section of your Nanobox dashboard [link your Nanobox account with your host](https://docs.nanobox.io/providers/hosting-accounts/).
|
|
|
|
#### Launch a New Application on Nanobox
|
|
|
|
[Launching a new app on Nanobox](https://docs.nanobox.io/workflow/launch-app/) is very simple. Navigate to [Launch New App](https://dashboard.nanobox.io/apps/new) in the dashboard, and follow the steps there. You'll be asked to name your app, and to select a host and region.
|
|
|
|
With those out of the way you're ready to get started!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
If you already have a functioning Hugo app, you can skip to [Configure Hugo to run with Nanobox](#configure-hugo-to-run-with-nanobox)
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
To get started, all you'll need is an empty project directory. Create a directory wherever you want your application to live and `cd` into it:
|
|
|
|
`mkdir path/to/project && cd path/to/project`
|
|
|
|
### Configure Hugo to run with Nanobox
|
|
|
|
Nanobox uses a simple config file known as a [boxfile.yml](https://docs.nanobox.io/boxfile/) to describe your application's infrastructure. In the root of your project add the following `boxfile.yml`:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="boxfile.yml" >}}
|
|
run.config:
|
|
|
|
# use the static engine
|
|
engine: static
|
|
engine.config:
|
|
|
|
# tell the engine where to serve static assets from
|
|
rel_dir: public
|
|
|
|
# enable file watching for live reload
|
|
fs_watch: true
|
|
|
|
# install hugo
|
|
extra_steps:
|
|
- bash ./install.sh
|
|
|
|
deploy.config:
|
|
|
|
# generate site on deploy
|
|
extra_steps:
|
|
- hugo
|
|
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
If you already have a functioning Hugo app, after adding the boxfile, you can skip to [Deploying Hugo with Nanobox](#deploying-hugo-with-nanobox).

|
|
|
|
### Installing Hugo
|
|
|
|
Nanobox uses Docker to create instant, isolated, development environments. Because of this, you'll need to make sure that during development you have Hugo available.
|
|
|
|
Do this by adding a custom install script at the root of your project that will install Hugo automatically for you:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="install.sh" >}}
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
if [[ ! -f /data/bin/hugo ]]; then
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
wget https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.31.1/hugo_0.31.1_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xzf hugo_0.31.1_Linux-64bit.tar.gz
|
|
mv hugo /data/bin/hugo
|
|
cd -
|
|
rm -rf /tmp/*
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
If the install script fails during `nanobox run` you may need to make it executable with `chmod +x install.sh`
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|

|
|
Make sure to check the version of Hugo you have installed and update the install script to match.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Generating a New Hugo App
|
|
|
|
You'll generate your new application from inside the Nanobox VM (this is why you don't need to worry about having Go or Hugo installed).
|
|
|
|
Run the following command to drop into a Nanobox console (inside the VM) where your codebase is mounted:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nanobox run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once inside the console use the following steps to create a new Hugo application:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# cd into the /tmp dir to create an app
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
|
|
# generate the hugo app
|
|
hugo new site app
|
|
|
|
# cd back into the /app dir
|
|
cd -
|
|
|
|
# copy the generated app into the project
|
|
shopt -s dotglob
|
|
cp -a /tmp/app/* .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install a theme
|
|
|
|
`cd` into the `themes` directory and clone the `nanobox-hugo-theme` repo:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd themes
|
|
git clone https://github.com/sdomino/nanobox-hugo-theme
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use the theme *either* copy the entire `config.toml` that comes with the theme, or just add the theme to your existing `config.toml`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# copy the config.toml that comes with the theme
|
|
cp ./themes/nanobox-hugo-theme/config.toml config.toml
|
|
|
|
# or, add it to your existing config.toml
|
|
theme = "nanobox-hugo-theme"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
It is not intended that you use the `nanobox-hugo-theme` as your actual theme. It's simply a theme to start with and should be replaced.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
### View Your App
|
|
|
|
To view your application simply run the following command from a Nanobox console:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
hugo server --bind="0.0.0.0" --baseUrl=$APP_IP
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With that you should be able to visit your app at the given IP:1313 address
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
You can [add a custom DNS alias](https://docs.nanobox.io/cli/dns/#add) to make it easier to access your app. Run `nanobox dns add local hugo.dev`. After starting your server, visit your app at [hugo.dev:1313](http://hugo.dev:1313)

### Develop, Develop, Develop
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
IMPORTANT: One issue we are aware of, and actively investigating, is livereload. Currently, livereload does not work when developing Hugo applications with Nanobox.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
With Hugo installed you're ready to go. Develop Hugo like you would normally (using all the generators, etc.). Once your app is ready to deploy, run `hugo` to generate your static assets and get ready to deploy!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Deploying Hugo with Nanobox
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
If you haven't already, make sure to [connect a hosting account](#connect-a-host-account) to your Nanobox account, and [launch a new application](#launch-a-new-application-on-nanobox) in the Dashboard.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
To deploy your application to Nanobox you simply need to [link your local codebase](https://docs.nanobox.io/workflow/deploy-code/#add-your-live-app-as-a-remote) to an application you've created on Nanobox. That is done with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nanobox remote add <your-app-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
You may be prompted to login using your ***Nanobox credentials*** at this time
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
### Stage Your Application (optional)
|
|
|
|
Nanobox gives you the ability to [simulate your production environment locally](https://docs.nanobox.io/workflow/deploy-code/#preview-locally). While staging is optional it's always recommended, so there's no reason not to!
|
|
|
|
To stage your app simply run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nanobox deploy dry-run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now visit your application with the IP address provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Deploy Your Application
|
|
|
|
Once everything checks out and you're [ready to deploy](https://docs.nanobox.io/workflow/deploy-code/#deploy-to-production), simply run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nanobox deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Within minutes you're Hugo app will be deployed to your host and humming along smoothly. That's it!
