Migrating from Ghost Pro to Hugo static on AWS for 24 cents

• Ghost

  299 45,658 10.0 JavaScript

  Independent technology for modern publishing, memberships, subscriptions and newsletters.

  

One of the really cool things that I liked about Ghost Pro was that it's open source, so if going with a managed service isn't for you then you can self host. More information is available on the ghost repo.

• Hugo

  548 72,452 9.8 Go

  The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

  

I ended up selecting hugo for the website framework because it's popular and it boasts about speed, who doesn't like a fast loading website? I went through a few different tests on my local setup to make sure it was a good fit. My only complaint so far is that I find the directory structure and templating syntax a little confusing compared to others I've used in the past.

• ghostToHugo

  3 132 0.0 Go

  Convert Ghost blog export to Hugo posts

ghostToHugo is the converter, it didn't work for me, I found that if you had a bookmark with a nil description it would cause the tool to fail. I've fixed the bug and committed it back to the repo so it works if you have the same problem as I did. You can check out my commit here.

• geeky-hugo

  1 127 3.2 SCSS

  Geeky is a Personal Hugo blog theme focused on high speed. Geeky is fully responsive, Superfast, and powered by Bootstrap v5.

  

I tried a bunch of different themes, I didn't want to get to far into customization if I didn't have to but in the end I did. I landed on geek-hugo by themefisher it is open source and looked like a good starting point for me.
