Hugo Portfolio Multistage Docker build

This project showcases how to optimize Docker images for a Hugo website (portfolio) using multi-stage builds. It highlights the benefits of smaller image sizes and streamlined deployments.

Difference in image size of Normal (dev) and Multistage build (prod)

• Image size reduces from 424.01 MB to 55.25 MB, for production environment that is a massive reduction of almost ~88%.

Key Features

• Multi-Stage Efficiency: The Dockerfile.prod employs a multi-stage build process to separate development dependencies from the final, lean deployment image.
• Hugo Compatibility: Designed specifically to work with the Hugo static site generator.
• Comparative Dockerfiles: Includes separate Dockerfiles (Dockerfile.dev and Dockerfile.prod) demonstrating the difference between development and optimized production builds

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/[your-username]/hugo-portfolio-multistageDockerbuild.git

2. Build the optimized image (for production):

   docker build -f Dockerfile.prod -t hugo-portfolio-prod:prod .

3. Run the container:

   docker run -d -p 8080:80 hugo-portfolio:prod

4. Access your portfolio site at http://localhost:8080

Insights

• Dev Dockerfile: Provides a development environment, including Hugo tools.
• Prod Dockerfile (Multi-stage): Leverages a series of build steps to create a minimized image containing only the necessary runtime components.
