+# www : My personal website
+
+My name is Julien Dessaux, also known by my pseudonym Adyxax : welcome to my personal website!
+
+These pages are an aggregation of various thoughts and tutorials I accumulated over my years of service as a system and network administrator and architect. Topics covered are open source, BSD and GNU/Linux system administration, and networking. It is a personal space that I try to fill up with my experience and knowledge of computer systems and network administration in the hope it serves others. You can learn more about me on this page.
+
+I hope you feel welcome here, do not hesitate to leave a message at julien -DOT- dessaux -AT- adyxax -DOT- org. You can ask for a translation, some more details on a topic covered here, or just say hi or whatever ;-)
+
+Have a good time!

+## Dependencies
+
+go is required for the search feature. Only go version >= 1.17 on linux amd64 (Gentoo) is being regularly tested.
+hugo is required in order to build the website html pages. Only hugo >= 0.99.1 is being regularly tested.
+
+buildah is optionally required in order to build the container images with my deploy script.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+There is a makefile with everything you need, just type `make help` (or `gmake help` if running BSD).
+
+## Hugo
+
+Contrary to popular usage, I do not use a theme with hugo. I decided to simplify write my own in order to keep it light and simple. Here is a breakdown of each folder's contents:
+- assets/: css files, which will be compiled into a single minified file.
+- content/: markdown files
+  - blog/: blog section of this website.
+  - books/: a log of simple reviews of books I read.
+  - docs/: wiki like section, where information is not sorted just chronologically like in the blog section.
+  - search/: dummy section I need for the search feature.
+- deploy/: container images building script.
+- layouts/: html, json and rss templates. Also some useful hugo shortcodes.
+- search: the go program that powers the search feature.
+- static: favicon, blog images and schematics.
+
+## Search
+
+Hugo can easily generate a json index of the website, and according to my google-fu hugo users use javascript solutions to implement search on top of this. I was not satisfied by the idea of having javascript download the whole website index and running searches locally, but I found no alternative. Since I love having a javascript free website I wanted to keep it that way if possible, so I designed an alternative.
+
+The search folders contains code for a go webservice that can handle search queries and serve results. It is fully integrated in the container images build process to maintain a coherent look with the website. For more details, see the related [blog article](https://www.adyxax.org/blog/2021/09/19/implementing-a-search-feature-for-my-hugo-static-website/).
+
+## Kubernetes
+
+I host this website on a k3s cluster. An example manifest can be found in the deploy folder.
