The source of jamshidhashimi.com — a Hugo static site, content authored in Markdown, deployed via Docker on a Coolify host.

Writing a post

Posts live in content/posts/. Each is a markdown file with TOML/YAML frontmatter. The simplest possible post:

---
title: "A new post"
date: 2026-04-25T10:00:00-08:00
slug: a-new-post
categories: ["Programming General"]
tags: ["hugo", "writing"]
---

Write your post here. Standard markdown — headings, lists, links, code blocks, images.

![alt text](/images/posts/a-new-post/screenshot.png)

Save the file in content/posts/a-new-post.md. If the post has images, drop them under static/images/posts/a-new-post/ and reference them as /images/posts/a-new-post/foo.png.

To preserve old WordPress URLs that already pointed at this slug, the site is configured so /a-new-post/ is the canonical URL. If you want extra redirects (e.g. an old dated path), add an aliases field to the frontmatter:

aliases: ["/2014/02/03/old-path/"]

Commit and push to main. Coolify will rebuild and redeploy.

Local development

You'll need Hugo Extended installed locally (v0.124+).

hugo server --buildDrafts --buildFuture

Then open http://localhost:1313.

To produce a production build into public/:

hugo --minify --gc

Deploying with Coolify

1. In Coolify, create a new application from this Git repo.
2. Choose Dockerfile as the build pack.
3. Coolify will build using the included Dockerfile (a 2-stage build: Hugo compiles the site, nginx serves it).
4. Set the public domain to jamshidhashimi.com (or a subdomain) and let Coolify provision a TLS certificate via Let's Encrypt.
5. Push to main to trigger a redeploy.

The container exposes port 80. Health check is included.

Migration notes

This site was migrated from a WordPress install in April 2026. 85 posts were imported; categories and tags preserved. Comments (Disqus) were intentionally not carried over.

About 60 of the older posts (mostly 2010–2012) referenced images on TinyPic and ImageShack — both image hosts have shut down, so those images are no longer available. They are flagged inline in the affected posts as *[image no longer available]*.
