Overview

This document describes how to use the Serverless Website component to quickly construct a serverless Hexo website.

Prerequisites

• Node.js has been installed (starting from September 1, 2020, Serverless components no longer support Node.js versions below 10.0. Please upgrade if needed).
• You have installed Git.

If the applications above are not installed, please install them as instructed in the Hexo documentation.

Directions

1. Install

Install Serverless Framework through npm:

$ npm install -g serverless

Install Hexo through npm:

$ npm install -g hexo-cli

After installing Hexo, please run the following command to make Hexo create required files in the specified folder:

$ hexo init hexo   # Generate a Hexo directory
$ cd hexo
$ npm install

After the specified folder is created, its structure is as follows:

.
├── _config.yml
├── package.json
├── scaffolds
├── source
|   ├── _drafts
|   └── _posts
└── themes

After the installation is completed, run the hexo g command to generate a static webpage:

$ hexo g   # generate

Note：

If you want to view the result locally, you can run the following command to access localhost:4000 and view the webpage in a browser:

$ hexo s   # server

2. Configure

Create a serverless.yml file in the hexo directory:

$ touch serverless.yml

Configure the serverless.yml file as follows:

# serverless.yml

component: website # Name of the imported component, which is required. The `tencent-website` component is used in this example
name: hexodemo # Name of the instance created by this `website` component, which is required

app: websiteApp # Website application name, which is optional
stage: dev # Information for identifying environment, which is optional. The default value is `dev`

inputs:
  src:
    src: ./public # Upload static files generated by HEXO
    index: index.html
    # dist: ./dist
    # hook: npm run build
    # websitePath: ./
  region: ap-guangzhou
  bucketName: my-bucket
  protocol: https
  

After the configuration is completed, the directory structure is as follows:

.
├── .serverless
└── hexo
    ├── public
    ├── ...
    ├── serverless.yml 
    ├── ...
    └── source

3. Deploy

Deploy by running the sls deploy command, and you can add the --debug parameter to view the information during the deployment process:

$ sls deploy

serverless ⚡ framework
Action: "deploy" - Stage: "dev" - App: "websiteApp" - Instance: "hexodemo"

region:  ap-guangzhou
website: https://my-bucket-1258834142.cos-website.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com


25s › hexodemo › Success

You can view your serverless Hexo website by accessing the website URL output by the command line.

Note：

If you want to update an article in your Hexo website, you need to run hexo g locally again to generate a static webpage and run serverless to update the webpage.

4. Remove

You can run the following command to remove the Hexo website:

$ sls remove --debug

  DEBUG ─ Flushing template state and removing all components.
  DEBUG ─ Starting Website Removal.
  DEBUG ─ Removing Website bucket.
  DEBUG ─ Removing files from the "my-bucket-1250000000" bucket.
  DEBUG ─ Removing "my-bucket-1250000000" bucket from the "ap-guangzhou" region.
  DEBUG ─ "my-bucket-1250000000" bucket was successfully removed from the "ap-guangzhou" region.
  DEBUG ─ Finished Website Removal.

Account configuration (optional)

Currently, you can scan a QR code to log in to the CLI by default. If you want to configure persistent environment variables/key information, you can also create a local .env file:

$ touch .env # Tencent Cloud configuration information

Configure Tencent Cloud's SecretId and SecretKey information in the .env file and save it:

# .env
TENCENT_SECRET_ID=123
TENCENT_SECRET_KEY=123

Note：

• If you don't have a Tencent Cloud account yet, please sign up first.
• If you already have a Tencent Cloud account, you can get SecretId and SecretKey in API Key Management.
