Intro

On the theme of delivering VALUE I went with Netlify in the end and spent far too little time on my MVP for my liking.

Steps

  • Create new project, private, git, Agile.
  • Setup Netlify deploy off main branch
  • Custom domain via my registrar’s dns control panel
  • HTTPS automatically through letsencrypt (I let Netlify handle this task for me out of generocity).

Outro

  • Easy to setup
  • Quick and useful MVP

Notes

  • fix submodule issue due to submodule not being referenced in .gitmodules
  • fix version of hugo, no it is not the long version in hugo version
  • debate whether this will be www. or just mikespinks.co.uk
  • fixed newline wrapping in Goldmark (I think).
