-# blog-hugo
-
-This is probably the hundredth rendition of this site xD Previously to
-using HUGO my blog was built using GHOST CMS which is a great platform
-and is feature rich. However my problem came with the base design
-philosophy of a CMS, relying on a Database.
-
-HUGO is a static site generator meaning it takes a readable file format
-like markdown and then compiles all that down into HTML (Static Files)
-This removes the need for a database and in turn improves performance of
-the site ten fold.
-
-## Pros of static sites
-
-* Security
-* Reliability
-* Speed
-* Scalability
-* Low Resource requirement
-
-## Cons of a static site
-
-* Less user friendly
-
-## Why
-
-The reasons above all fit within my goal of trying to containerise
-services running in my home lab.
-
-The plan is to move the services I use to a cluster of Raspberry Pis. As
-long as the services have an ARM image or I can build an ARM image then
-this is a viable solution
-
-## How
-
-The deployment method of this site relies on the Gitlab CI/CD pipeline.
-* Clone the repository
-* Push changes to Gitlab
-* Gitlab runners create the docker image
-* Image is pushed to my private docker repository
-* Pi cluster uses that image to host the site locally
-
-## When Pulling / Cloning
-
-Be sure to add `--recurse-submodules` as the theme used is a submodule
-
-``` bash
-git clone --recurse-submodules git@gitlab.com:AHMZA/blog.git
-```
-
-## Update the theme
-
-As the theme is a submodule it will need to be update with the following
-
-``` bash
-git submodule update --remote --merge
-```
