+ I switched my personal wiki from dokuwiki to Hugo
+---
+
+This is the website you are currently reading. It is a static website built using hugo. This article details how I installed hugo, how I initialised this website and how I manage it. I often refer to it as wiki.adyxax.org because I hosted a unique dokuwiki for a long time as my main website (and a pmwiki before that), but with hugo it has become more than that. It is now a mix of wiki, blog and showcase of my work and interests.

+## Installing hugo
+
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+go get github.com/gohugoio/hugo
+{{< / highlight >}}
+
+You probably won't encounter this issue but this command failed at the time I installed hugo because the master branch in one of the dependencies was
+tainted. I fixed it with by using a stable tag for this project and continue installing hugo from there:
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+cd go/src/github.com/tdewolff/minify/
+tig --all
+git checkout v2.6.1
+go get github.com/gohugoio/hugo
+{{< / highlight >}}
+
+This did not build me the extended version of hugo that I need for the [docsy](https://github.com/google/docsy) theme I chose, so I had to get it by doing :
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+cd ~/go/src/github.com/gohugoio/hugo/
+go get --tags extended
+go install --tags extended
+{{< / highlight >}}
+
+## Bootstraping this site
+
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+hugo new site www
+cd www
+git init
+git submodule add https://github.com/google/docsy themes/docsy
+{{< / highlight >}}
+
+The docsy theme requires two nodejs programs to run :
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+npm install -D --save autoprefixer
+npm install -D --save postcss-cli
+{{< / highlight >}}
+
+## hugo commands
+
+To spin up the live server for automatic rebuilding the website when writing articles :
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+hugo server --bind 0.0.0.0 --minify --disableFastRender
+{{< / highlight >}}
+
+To publish the website in the `public` folder :
+{{< highlight sh >}}
+hugo --minify
+{{< / highlight >}}
