Running locally

Requires Hugo extended (v0.156.0+).

# Dev server with live reload
hugo server

# Include drafts
hugo server -D

# Production build
hugo --minify

Site will be available at http://localhost:1313/.

Deployment

Automatic via GitHub Actions on push to main. The workflow:

1. Builds with hugo --minify --baseURL "https://diachkow.dev/"
2. Deploys to GitHub Pages

DNS is managed through Cloudflare (A records + CNAME) pointing to GitHub Pages.

Adding a new post

Create a new page bundle directory under content/posts/:

content/posts/my-new-post/
├── index.md           # Post content
├── screenshot.png     # Images used in the post
└── diagram.jpg

Edit index.md front matter:

---
title: "My New Post"
date: 2026-03-01
tags: ["topic1", "topic2"]
description: "Short description for the post list."
draft: false
---

Post content in Markdown goes here.

Images are referenced by filename since they live in the same directory.

Set draft: true to hide from production builds (visible with hugo server -D).

Note: After adding a post, manually add an entry to layouts/index.html to include it on the homepage.

Acknowledgement

The website uses the Catppuccin Mocha palette.
