As you can read on my previous blog post, I’ve choosen a set of AWS technologies to back this blog, however here’s the full post on how to set up your own Hugo blog on AWS using CloudFront.

You can use this Quickstart to set up your example Hugo website. However, here’s the TL;RD:

cd quickstart
git init

echo 'theme = "ananke"' >> config.toml

Hello internet 😄 it’s being a long time since I stopped blogging, however, as I’ve always said, writting is more a necesity than a luxury.

Today I’m gonna talk about the tech stack I’m using for blogging, In the past I’ve used Ghost for my previous blog, and a long time ago I also used Joomla!, those are great tools and a lot of technical writters do use Ghost for writting articles, or blogging. Also I remember there’s Jekyll and Octopress out there, but this time I’ll stick to a command line, Markdown friendly golang tool.
