# Hugo add-on for Caddy

This is an add-on for Caddy which wants to deliver a good UI to edit the content of the website.

## Try it

### Prepare your machine

If you want to try the Hugo add-on for Caddy (and improve it maybe), you'll have to install some tools.

+ [Go 1.4 or higher](https://golang.org/dl/)
+ [caddydev](https://github.com/caddyserver/caddydev)
+ [go-bindata](https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata)

If you want to go deeper and make changes in front-end assets like JavaScript or CSS, you'll need some more tools.

+ [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)
+ [SASS](http://sass-lang.com/install)
+ [Node.js and npm](https://nodejs.org)
+ [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/)

### Run it

If you have already installed everything above to meet the requirements for what you want to do, let's start. Firstly, open the terminal and navigate to your clone of ```caddy-hugo```. Then execute:

```
go-bindata [-debug] -pkg assets -o assets/assets.go templates/ assets/css/ assets/js/ assets/fonts/
```

That command will create an ```assets.go``` file which contains all static files from those folders mentioned in the command. You may run with ```-debug``` option if you want, but it is only needed if you're going to make changes in front-end assets.

Now, open the folder with your Hugo website and create a [Caddyfile](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile) similar to this one:

```
localhost:8080

root public

basicauth /admin admin admin

errors {
  404 404.html
}

hugo
```

After creating the file, navigate to that folder using the terminal and run the following command, replacing ```{CADDY-HUGO}``` with the location of your clone.

```
caddydev --source {CADDY-HUGO} hugo
```

Navigate to ```localhost:8080``` to see your blog running on Caddy and Hugo. Go to ```/admin``` to try the Admin UI. The default user name is ```admin```, so is the password. You may change in your Caddyfile.

Everything is working now. Whenever you make a change in the back-end source code, you'll have to run the command above again.

**For those who want to make changes in front-end**, make sure you have every needed tool installed and run ```npm install``` in the root of ```caddy-hugo``` clone. Then, run ```grunt watch```.
