Static sites and SPAs

Deploy a Hugo site on Enzonic

Deploy builds Hugo sites with Hugo extended, which it downloads into the build sandbox when needed. The default version is 0.139.0; set HUGO_VERSION in the project's environment variables to pin another one.

At a glance

What Enzonic Deploy does with a Hugo project when you connect it. You can override any of it in the project settings.

Language: Go templates
Detected from: hugo.toml, or a config.* file with a content/ or layouts/ folder
Build command: hugo --gc --minify
Output: public
Runs as: Static

How it runs

Static
Always.

Deploy Hugo step by step

1Set baseURL in hugo.toml to your production domain.
2Optionally add HUGO_VERSION as an environment variable.
3Connect the repository and deploy.

hugo.toml

baseURL = 'https://example.com/'
languageCode = 'en-us'
title = 'My site'

Connect a database to Hugo

Create a database on Enzonic Databases (or from the project's settings) and its connection string is added to the project's environment variables. This example uses PostgreSQL.

api/search.py

import os, psycopg

def handler(request):
    q = request.query.get('q', '')
    with psycopg.connect(os.environ['DATABASE_URL']) as conn:
        rows = conn.execute("select title, url from pages where title ilike %s limit 10", (f'%{q}%',)).fetchall()
    return {'results': [{'title': t, 'url': u} for t, u in rows]}

A static Hugo site can still have server code: this Python function in api/ answers /api/search.

Postgres projects get two variables: DATABASE_URL through the connection pooler for the app, and DATABASE_URL_UNPOOLED for migrations.

Things to know

Themes added as git submodules must be reachable by the build; vendored themes (or Hugo modules) avoid surprises.
