Docsy is a Hugo theme module for technical documentation sites, providing easy site navigation, structure, and more.
To use this you need to install 2 things
- Hugo (Extended version)
- Go
You can find detailed theme instructions in the Docsy user guide.
npm install
run this command from the docs folder
hugo server
You can run the site inside a Docker
container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docs
folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other
than Docker Desktop on
Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose
on Linux.
-
Build the docker image
docker-compose build
-
Run the built image
docker-compose up
NOTE: You can run both commands at once with
docker-compose up --build
. -
Verify that the service is working.
Open your web browser and type
http://localhost:1313
in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docs homepage. You can now make changes to the docs and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.
To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.
To remove the produced images run:
docker-compose rm
For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.
As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:
