ddev VS Hugo

Do you already want to try the new version, which is currently in alpha state? With DDEV this is super simple, just paste one command into the terminal.

For development, I will still prefer to continue with DDEV (a tool that I highly recommend). But the adventure with SQLite was very interesting, it really helped me not to pollute my termux.

I use https://ddev.com for almost all of my web project development, which basically automates all of this. Per-project databases, web containers, plugins, etc, and it’s now using Traefik as its router.

I use it with ddev for local development.

With the right combination of overlapping interests, a lot can get done and incredible things get build. See for example the Drupal book or DDEV--both are extremely active Drupal projects, with lots of community activity, outside of drupal.org.

You can go from 0 to 100 quickly with DDEV or Lando: - https://docs.lando.dev/ - https://ddev.readthedocs.io/

For local: have you tried DDEV? Or Lando? they seem pretty fast to me. https://github.com/drud/ddev

Lando works great with Linux, use DDEV for Mac. Both are Docker-based.

With DDEV you can create Docker PHP + NodeJS environments which run on every operating systems in the same way. These environment configuration can be shared via git which makes open source software DDEV a great and robust choice for team projects.

This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts.

Hugo

Hugo is a popular static site generator specifically designed to create websites and documentation lightning-fast. Its minimalist approach, emphasis on speed, and ease of use have made it popular among developers, technical writers, and anybody looking to construct high-quality websites without the complexity of typical CMS platforms.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Create the technical documentation of your project You can use any of the following options: * A wiki, like the ArchWiki that uses MediaWiki * Read the Docs, used by projects like Setuptools. Check Awesome Read the Docs for more examples. * Create a website * Create a blog, like the documentation of Blowfish, a theme for Hugo.

Doing this made me appreciate existing SSGs like Hugo and Next.js even more👏👏

I suggest hugo: https://gohugo.io/

Generates a completely static website from MD (and other formats) files; also handles themes (including a lot of them rendering well on mobile), and different types of content - posts, articles, etc. - depending on the theme.

It's open source and, being completely static, cheap as fuck to self host.

I would suggest looking into static site generators. Some popular examples, which are used myself are: - Hugo: https://gohugo.io/ - Jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com
