Netlify provides best practices like SSL, CDN distribution, caching and continuous deployment
|
|
with no effort. This very site is hosted by Netlify and automatically deployed on commits.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have an account with Netlify, you can [sign up](https://app.netlify.com) for one.
|
|
|
|
Netlify has built-in support for the older version (named Gutenberg) but not for Zola yet.
|
|
|
|
## Automatic Deploys (*Gutenberg only*)
|
|
|
|
> Automatic deploys based on environment variable are not available for Zola yet,
|
|
> only for version <= 0.4.2 when it was called Gutenberg
|
|
|
|
Once you are in the admin interface, you can add a site from a Git provider (GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket). At the end
|
|
of this process, you can select the deploy settings for the project:
|
|
|
|
- build command: `GUTENBERG_VERSION=0.4.2 gutenberg build` (replace the version number in the variable by the version you want to use)
|
|
- publish directory: the path to where the `public` directory is
|
|
|
|
With this setup, your site should be automatically deployed on every commit on master. For `GUTENBERG_VERSION`, you may
|
|
use any of the tagged `release` versions in the GitHub repository — Netlify will automatically fetch the tagged version
|
|
and use it to build your site.
|
|
|
|
However, if you want to use everything that Netlify gives you, you should also publish temporary sites for pull requests.
|
|
|
|
This is done by adding the following `netlify.toml` file in your repository and removing the build command/publish directory in
|
|
the admin interface.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[build]
|
|
# assuming the Gutenberg site is in a docs folder, if it isn't you don't need
|
|
# to have a `base` variable but you do need the `publish` and `command`
|
|
base = "docs"
|
|
publish = "docs/public"
|
|
command = "gutenberg build"
|
|
|
|
[build.environment]
|
|
# Set the version name that you want to use and Netlify will automatically use it
|
|
GUTENBERG_VERSION = "0.5.0"
|
|
|
|
# The magic for deploying previews of branches
|
|
# We need to override the base url with whatever url Netlify assigns to our
|
|
# preview site. We do this using the Netlify environment variable
|
|
# `$DEPLOY_PRIME_URL`.
|
|
|
|
[context.deploy-preview]
|
|
command = "gutenberg build --base-url $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Automatic deploys for Zola
|
|
Since Netlify doesn't support Zola currently, you will need to download the archive directly from GitHub, replacing the version in the URL with the one you want:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
command = "curl -sL https://github.com/getzola/zola/releases/download/v0.7.0/zola-v0.7.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz | tar zxv && ./zola build"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manual Deploys
|
|
If you would prefer to use a version of Zola that isn't a tagged release (for example, after having built Zola from
|
|
source and made modifications), then you will need to manually deploy your `public` folder to Netlify. You can do this through
|
|
Netlify's web GUI or via the command line.
|
|
|
|
For a command-line manual deploy, follow these steps:
|
|
1. Generate a `Personal Access Token` from the settings section of your Netlify account (*not* an OAuth Application)
|
|
2. Build your site with `zola build`
|
|
3. Create a zip folder containing the `public` directory
|
|
4. Run the `curl` command below, filling in your values for PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_1, FILE_NAME.zip and SITE_NAME
|
|
5. (Optional) delete the zip folder
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -H "Content-Type: application/zip" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_STEP_1" \
|
|
--data-binary "@FILE_NAME.zip" \
|
|

|
|
```
