I discovered that I can’t get the hugo_jupyter module to install on my laptop for some unspecified reason due to a collision with the existing software. This is why I don’t typically upgrade but rather do a clean install.

Most things work, but between the system, homebrew, and conda, my python3 setup is not working properly. I guess a backup to bootable image and a fresh install will solve most of the issues, but in the interim, I need to get the generator fully functional.

Looks like Vagrant to the rescue. As I have VirtualBox and vagrant installed, I can use that to create a proper environment isolated from the main OS and use that to create my generator. I’ll do it again under docker when I get some time and see which one works better. It hust seemed easier to use vagarent right now, as it is just a vbox image. I’ll add the steps in case anyone wants to do a similar configuration. This is a Q&D build, as I’m the impatient sort.

Items left to go

This is a kind of living list right now. Expect mods as I go on.

• Theme (Settled on hugo-octopress for now)
• Publish to the web server (get the basic publishing before using automation)
• Asciidoc support (longer documents)
• Jupyter support (notebooks)
• Disqus integration (external comment system)
• Gitlab integration (for building and proper source control)
• Mailing list integration (Not sure how yet, maybe an iframe in a static page))
• Better documentation on how I out it together so I don’t have to figure it out next time. (work in progress)
• Vagrant configuration (this needs a post later)
