Hugo Builder Image

Hugo is a fast and flexible static site generator, written in Go. Hugo flexibly works with many formats and is ideal for blogs, docs, portfolios and much more. Hugo’s speed fosters creativity and makes building a website fun again.

The focus of this lightweight Alpine based Docker Image is on Continuous Deployment.

🧑‍💻 Users

By default, this docker image run as the root user. This makes it easy to use as base image for other Dockerfiles (switching back and forth adds extra layers and is against the current best practices advised by Docker). Most (all official?) base images leave the default user as root.

However, this docker image also define a non-root user hugo (UID 1000, GID 1000) which can be switched on at run time using the --user or -u flag to docker run.

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/src --user hugo xdevbase/hugo-builder hugo

You can also change this according your needs, by setting another UID/GID. For instance, to run hugo with user www-data:www-data (UID 33, GID 33) :

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/src -u 33:33 xdevbase/hugo-builder hugo
