## 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):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
firebase login
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the root of your Hugo project, initialize the Firebase project with the `firebase init` command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
## Using Firebase & GitHub CI/CD
|
|
|
|
In new versions of Firebase, some other questions apply:
|
|
|
|
6. Set up automatic builds and deploys with GitHub?
|
|
|
|
Here you will be redirected to login in your GitHub account to get permissions. Confirm.
|
|
|
|
7. For which GitHub repository would you like to set up a GitHub workflow? (format: user/repository)
|
|
|
|
Include the repository you will use in the format above (Account/Repo)
|
|
Firebase script with retrieve credentials, create a service account you can later manage in your GitHub settings.
|
|
|
|
8. Set up the workflow to run a build script before every deploy?
|
|
|
|
Here is your opportunity to include some commands before you run the deploy.
|
|
|
|
9. Set up automatic deployment to your site's live channel when a PR is merged?
|
|
|
|
You can let in the default option (main)
|
|
|
|
After that Firebase has been set in your project with CI/CD. After that run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo && firebase deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With this you will have the app initialized manually. After that you can manage and fix your GitHub workflow from: https://github.com/your-account/your-repo/actions
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to update your static pages before push!
|
|
|
|
## Manual deploy
|
|
|
|
To deploy your Hugo site, execute the `firebase deploy` command, and your site will be up in no time:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo && firebase deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## CI setup (other tools)
|
|
|
|
You can generate a deploy token using
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
firebase login:ci
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also set up your CI 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:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
firebase deploy --token $FIREBASE_DEPLOY_TOKEN
|
|
```
|
