I know you usually just write the code for our website and let me handle the deployment, but I'm leaving, so I wrote up some instructions for you in this file.
Good luck. I honestly don't remember the exact steps myself, but this should point you in the right direction. I hope.
Run hugo server -D
to view the website locally. Make sure it looks good.
- Create an EC2 instance.
- Log in into the instance and run the site locally from there.
- Go to the website link to check deployment works.
