@dorfjungs/hunamic

Fetch and render content into hugo from an external service

Installation

npm install -g @dorfjungs/hunamic

Docker

Hunamic comes with a pre-built docker container. You should consider using this container, especially for production.

app:
  image: dorfjungs/hunamic:X.X.X

  # All volume mappings. Make sure to not just mount the src folder directly.
  # This could lead to unwanted files in your working directory
  volumes:
    # Example forlders for your assets. For more check out:
    # https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/introduction/#asset-directory
    - ./scripts:/src/assets/scripts
    - ./styles:/src/assets/styles

    # These are the hugo layouts. For more information see here:
    # https://cloudcannon.com/community/learn/hugo-tutorial/layouts-in-hugo/#what-s-a-layout
    - ./layouts:/src/layouts

    # Static files to serve directly (e.g. images). For more check out:
    # https://gohugo.io/content-management/static-files/
    - ./static:/src/static

    # This is a specific folder you can use to organize your configuration.
    # This is also included in the watcher, so changes will be detected
    - ./config:/src/config

    # The config file of your app
    - ./config.ts:/src/config.ts

    # tsconfig, node_modules, pacakge.json for bundling and compiling
    - ./tsconfig.json:/src/tsconfig.json
    - ./node_modules:/src/node_modules
    - ./package.json:/src/package.json
  environment:
    # Defines the environment used in your app. Default: production.
    # If set to dev, it'll start the hug server automatically
    ENVIRONMENT: 'dev'

    # This defines the secret to access. If this is empty the generation endpoint
    # will be public. So it's highly recommended to set it.
    SERVER_SECRET: xx-random-xx-openssl-xx-string-xx

    # The path for the reverse proxy, which points to the generation server
    # Default value: 11B368FF15C711A1A45DCFF68E74D190
    GENERATION_PATH: 11B368FF15C711A1A45DCFF68E74D190

    # Arguments attached to the hugo build command
    # For more see here: https://gohugo.io/commands/hugo/#options
    BUILD_ARGS: "gc,logFile=/tmp/hugo.log"

    # Arguments attached to the hugo server command
    # For more see here: https://gohugo.io/commands/hugo_server/#options
    DEV_SERVER_ARGS: "disableFastRender,gc"

    # The base url to serve images etc. from
    APP_BASE_URL: http://app.hunamic.localhost/

    # The endpoint to the api, used in `query` command
    API_ENDPOINT: http://api.hunamic.localhost/

    # The seconds to wait before aborting the waiting for the api endpoint
    # Default: 180
    API_WAIT_TIMEOUT: 360

General structure

Services and exposed ports

This pacakge runs nginx in the background and hunamic in the foreground. This means we basically have two (three in development) servers running in one container. To reduce the number of exposed ports hunamic serves the generation service (the one you call when you want to rebuild) through an nginx proxy, defined by the environment variable $GENERATION_PATH.

Now you have two ways to attach to the exposed ports. If you're in production you want to connect to port 8080, which is used by nginx. If you're in development you want to use the port 7652, which attaches to the hugo server command.

Since hugo server is not available when ENVIRONMENT != "dev", this service will be unavailable in production environments

Connect the generation service via a webhook

If you want to connect the generation service to a webhook (e.g. a headless CMS), you simply use the following format:

{PROTOCOL}://{HOST:3000}/{GENERATION_PATH}/generate?secret={SECRET}

# Example
https://dorfjungs.com/11B368FF15C711A1A45DCFF68E74D190/generate?secrect=84jf

Now everytime the webhook gets executed a rebuild will happen. Easy.

You have to access this resource via a POST request

Development

To release a new version simply run yarn version --(major|minor|patch) to update the package.json and then just git push origin master. Our CI/CD will handle the rest. It will also deploy the corresponding docker image.
