HEXOJS EXAMPLE

This project show how to deploy hexoJS on Clever Cloud.

Create the app

At the root of the project :

clever login

Log in the UI and close it. Then create your Python application and PostgreSQL add-on :

clever create --type node --region par HexoJS-app

More information on parameters HERE.

If needed, you can set the scaling :

clever scale --min-flavor pico --max-flavor pico
clever scale --min-instances 1 --max-instances 1

More information on scaling HERE.

Environment setup

You need to setup one Environment variable :

clever env set CC_PRE_BUILD_HOOK "npm install hexo-cli -g"

Optionally, if you want the command hexo genrate to be launched at every deployment to automatically generate the static file, you can also add :

clever env set CC_POST_BUILD_HOOK "hexo genrate"

Modify hexo server configuration

The hexoJS server launch is configured in the package.json in the scripts/start field.
This example is set to use the command :

hexo server --port 8080 --static

Listening on port 8080 is necessary to deploy on Clever Cloud. The --static option means only static page generated with hexo generate are shown. You can remove this option if you want.

Deploy !

Nothing else left to do, just go on and deploy your app :

clever deploy
