more doc needed about docker-hugo HOT 5 CLOSED

This project makes Hugo as Docker image and is not a replacement of Hugo. Please see the Hugo documentation for information on how to use Hugo.

Just because it is dockerized hugo does not mean you can not have a proper documentation of how to use the image. Just trying to help you maintain a helpful repo but you can do whatever you want; it is your repo!.
Peace.

@babatundebusari Any ideas for when you start up Hugo within docker, after run "hugo new site" automatically? Thanks

I just worked my way through this issue. The Docker image has hugo installed, but it doesn't have any code for a website. That's why we get the error about missing a config file. This page helped me work out that bit. If you do have code for a website, make sure your $(pwd) is the directory containing your site's code.

If you don't have code for a website on your local machine, you can start the container with the shell command like so (if your them uses mods, choose a ext-<os>-onbuild image):

docker run --rm -it \
  -v $(pwd):/src \
  klakegg/hugo:0.93.2-alpine \
  shell

Then, from the container's shell, you can clone your website's GitHub repo (git is installed), or if you're starting from scratch, do a Quick Start and build your site.

You can start the server when you're done hugo server -D. The -D shows you draft posts.

Am also interested in getting this one right :)
