Hugo update baseUrl per environment

[Semih_Ural]

I’ve a website to generate content according to the different type of users as below. I simply have an environment variable in my dockerfile as below and I run hugo according to the user type.

But what confuse me we have stage and production environment, thus ı need to update the baseUrl in config.yaml for all of them. What is the best approach of doing this ?

I might update it via sed but never tried cause I believe there might be a good way of doing this. Any help will be appreciated.

baseURL = “https://int-foo-example.com/” → stage
baseURL = “https://foo-example.com/” → production

RUN hugo -e ${AUDIENCE} --minify

Here is the tree structure.

├── config/
│   ├── _default
│   │   └── config.yaml
│   ├── dealers
│       ├── config.yaml
│   │   └── params.yaml
│   └── employees
│       ├── config.yaml
│       └── params.yaml
├── content

You can set the baseURL and the config directly from the CLI according to the environment.

See hugo CLI, also if you are using a CI/CD service like Netlify you can Configure with Enviroment Variables

If you “compile from source”, have a go at it and tell me what you think … This commit adds support for a configuration directory (default config). The different pieces in this puzzle are: A new --environment (or -e) flag. This can also be set with the HUGO_ENVIRONMENT OS environment variable. The value for environment defaults to production when running hugo and development when running hugo server. You can set it to any value you want (e.g. hugo server -e "Sensible Environment"), but as …

I haven’t seen this error in a long time.

How are you calling .GetPage in your template?
