# Hugo Site for Coolify Deployment

This is a basic Hugo static site, ready to be deployed on Coolify using Nixpacks.

## Prerequisites

1.  A Coolify instance (self-hosted or cloud).
2.  This Git repository connected to your Coolify instance.
3.  Hugo installed locally if you want to develop and test the site before pushing changes (optional but recommended). You can download Hugo from [gohugo.io](https://gohugo.io/).

## Deployment Steps on Coolify

1.  **Add a New Resource:** In your Coolify dashboard, go to your project and add a new resource.
2.  **Select Source:** Choose "Git Repository".
3.  **Configure Git:**
    *   Select your Git provider and repository.
    *   Choose the branch you want to deploy (e.g., `main` or `master`).
4.  **Build Configuration:**
    *   **Build Pack:** Select `Nixpacks`.
    *   **Type:** Choose `Static Site`.
5.  **Settings:**
    *   **Build Command:** `hugo`
    *   **Publish Directory:** `public`
    *   (Coolify might auto-detect these for Hugo with Nixpacks, but it's good to confirm.)
6.  **Save and Deploy:** Save your configuration and trigger a deployment.

Coolify will then use Nixpacks to build your Hugo site (by running the `hugo` command) and serve it from the `public` directory.

## Local Development (Optional)

1.  Clone this repository.
2.  Install Hugo (if not already installed).
3.  Navigate to the project directory in your terminal.
4.  Run `hugo server -D` to start the local development server.
5.  Open your browser to `http://localhost:1313` (or the port shown in the terminal).

## Project Structure

*   `hugo.toml`: Main Hugo configuration.
*   `content/`: Your site's content (Markdown files).
*   `layouts/`: Your site's templates (HTML files). (Create this if you want to customize the theme or create your own).
*   `static/`: Static assets like images, CSS, JS. (Create this for your assets).
*   `themes/`: Where Hugo themes are typically placed. (Create this if you add a theme).
*   `public/`: The output directory where Hugo builds the static site. This directory is usually not committed to Git. Coolify will generate it during the build process.

Remember to add a theme to your `hugo.toml` and place it in the `themes` folder, or build your own layouts in the `layouts` folder to see more than just plain HTML.
