That Was Easy: Hugo Deploy + AWS S3

Well, that didn’t take long.

So earlier, I mentioned trying to make the deployment workflow easier.

Yeah, Hugo already did that.

The steps go:

1. install the AWS CLI
2. Do aws configure with your bucket details, locally.
3. follow the steps to setup. Here’s what I had to do in my config.yaml

   • order: [".jpg$","$.gif$"]
     targets:
       - name: "aws"
         URL: s3://www.devharryc.com?region=us-east-1
     matchers:
       - pattern: "^.+\\.(js|css|svg|ttf)$"
         cacheControl: "max-age=31536000, no-transform, public"
         gzip: true
       - pattern: "^.+\\.(png|jpg)$"
         cacheControl: "max-age=31536000, no-transform, public"
         gzip: false
       - pattern: "^.+\\.(html|xml|json)$"
         gzip: true
     

4. do hugo deploy

Hugo Deploy takes care of doing a smart diff/deploy so you don’t breach yours S3 free tier.
