## Introduction
|
|
|
|
[Render](https://render.com) is a fully-managed cloud platform where you can host static sites, backend APIs, databases, cron jobs, and all your other apps in one place.
|
|
|
|
Static sites are **completely free** on Render and include the following:
|
|
|
|
- Continuous, automatic builds & deploys from [GitHub](https://render.com/docs/github) and [GitLab](https://render.com/docs/gitlab).
|
|
- Automatic SSL certificates through [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org).
|
|
- Instant cache invalidation with a lightning fast, global CDN.
|
|
- Unlimited collaborators.
|
|
- Unlimited [custom domains](https://render.com/docs/custom-domains).
|
|
- Automatic [Brotli compression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotli) for faster sites.
|
|
- Native HTTP/2 support.
|
|
- [Pull Request Previews](https://render.com/docs/pull-request-previews).
|
|
- Automatic HTTP → HTTPS redirects.
|
|
- Custom URL redirects and rewrites.
|
|
|
|
## Assumptions
|
|
|
|
* You have an account with GitHub or GitLab.
|
|
* You have completed the [Quick Start][] or have a Hugo website you are ready to deploy and share with the world.
|
|
* You have a Render account. You can sign up at https://render.com/register.
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
You can set up a Hugo site on Render in two quick steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new **Static Site** on Render, and give Render permission to access your GitHub/Gitlab repo.
|
|
2. Use the following values during creation:
|
|
|
|
Field | Value
|
|
------------------- | -------------------
|
|
**Build Command** | `hugo --gc --minify` (or your own build command)
|
|
**Publish Directory** | `public` (or your own output directory)
|
|
|
|
That's it! Your site will be live on your Render URL (which looks like `yoursite.onrender.com`) as soon as the build is done.
|
|
|
|
## Continuous Deploys
|
|
|
|
Now that Render is connected to your repo, it will **automatically build and publish your site** any time you push to your GitHub/Gitlab.
|
|
|
|
You can choose to disable auto deploys under the **Settings** section for your site and deploy it manually from the Render dashboard.
|
|
|
|
## CDN and Cache Invalidation
|
|
|
|
Render hosts your site on a global, lightning fast CDN which ensures the fastest possible download times for all your users across the globe.
|
|
|
|
Every deploy automatically and instantly invalidates the CDN cache, so your users can always access the latest content on your site.
|
|
|
|
## Custom Domains
|
|
|
|
Add your own domains to your site easily using Render's [custom domains](https://render.com/docs/custom-domains) guide.
|
|
|
|
## Pull Request Previews
|
|
|
|
With Pull Request (PR) previews, you can visualize changes introduced in a pull request instead of simply relying on code reviews.
|
|
|
|
Once enabled, every PR for your site will automatically generate a new static site based on the code in the PR. It will have its own URL, and it will be deleted automatically when the PR is closed.
|
|
|
|
Read more about [Pull Request Previews](https://render.com/docs/pull-request-previews) on Render.
|
|
|
|
## Hugo Themes
|
|
|
|
Render automatically downloads all Git submodules defined in your Git repo on every build. This way Hugo themes added as submodules work as expected.
|
|
|
|
## Support
|
|
|
|
Chat with Render developers at https://render.com/chat or email `support@render.com` if you need help.
