Setting up a new blog
After watching the video “I started a blog…..in 2024 (why you should too)” by NetworkChuck I was inspired to start a blog.
In this video the service Hostinger is used for hosting the website. An automatic process starting with writing the post in Obsidian, generate a web-page using Hugo, sending it via Github and then using webhooks to automatically fetch from the Github-repository and publicise it on the Hostinger website is used.
The best way forward is signing up to the Hostinger web-provider. It cost me 40$ for the first year. I’m using the linux-flavour Kali, and installing Hugo and Obsidian was easy enough by using apt-get.
- sudo apt-get install obsidian
- sudo apt-get install hubo
The biggest hurdle in Obsidian is to set up the template. Templater is the recommended add-on to use. We’ll see how this works out.
The webhooks in github were easy enough since this is described in detail both in the video from Chuck and the specific settings are presented by Hostinger.
Stay tuned for more articles on this website. Hopefully there will be some content created on a semi-regular basis.
I’m currently working on setting up the Astrohaus Freewrite to automatically deliver text to the blob.
