Environment Variables

HUGO_THEME
HUGO_WATCH (set to any value to enable watching)

Executing

docker run --name "my-hugo" -P -v $(pwd):/src jojomi/hugo

Or, more verbosely, and with a specified output mapping:

docker run --name "my-hugo" --publish-all \
       --volume $(pwd):/src \
       --volume /tmp/hugo-build-output:/output \
       jojomi/hugo

Find your container:

docker ps | grep "my-hugo"
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                           COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                   NAMES
ba00b5c238fc        jojomi/hugo:latest   "/run.sh"              7 seconds ago       Up 6 seconds        1313/tcp      my-hugo

Building The Image Yourself (optional)

docker build -t jojomi/hugo:latest .

The image is conveniently small at about 20 MB thanks to alpine:

docker images | grep hugo
jojomi/hugo:0.18   latest              b2e7a8364baa        1 second ago      21.9 MB

Creating a new tag

Create a new git branch, change the line ENV HUGO_VERSION=0.18 in Dockerfile and wire it in the Docker Hub accordingly.
