Deployment #

Build public directory #

hugo

Deploy draft Netlify version #

netlify deploy

Netlify will ask for a publish directory, we’ll be using the public directory we built in the previous step

Once the deploy is complete, you’ll see a link to a preview. Confirm that it looks as you’d expect, and then you’re ready to deploy a production version

Deploy production Netlify version #

netlify deploy --prod

Setting up custom domain on Netlify #

Add a domain through the Netlify site settings. In this case:

blog.jackyvan.com

Delegate subdomain (blog.jackyvan.com) to Netlify’s managed DNS #

On the Netlify domain settings for the site, find the prompt to delegate the subdomain to Netlify DNS. The end of this flow on Netlify’s UI should return a set of name servers.

Go to the domain registrar that you have the domain with. Add in a NS record for each name server.

Type: NS Record
Host: blog
Value: <NAME SERVER>
