This is a quick guide on how to quickly launch Hugo, with the hugo-ink theme, using docker-compose.

Procedure

1. Your directory structure where you have placed your hugo content and code should be like this:

   your-hugo-site-directory
   ┣ content
   ┃ ┣ posts
   ┃ ┃ ┣ your-first-post.md
   ┃ ┃ ┗ your-second-post.md
   ┃ ┗ about.md
   ┣ themes
   ┃ ┗ ink
   ┣ config.toml
   ┗ docker-compose.yml
   

2. You’ll need this docker-compose.yml:

   version: '3.5'
   services:
     hugo:
       image: klakegg/hugo:0.80.0
       container_name: hugo
       command: server --disableFastRender
       volumes:
         - ".:/src"
       ports:
         - "1313:1313"
   networks:
     default:
       name: hugo
   

3. Run docker-compose up to launch hugo (and its server). I’ve chosen to use the –disableFastRender flag for the server command as it forces Hugo to rebuild for every change, not just for in the config.toml file
