You need to start with docker.
Get your ci building a docker image of your site
Then host the docker image on a repo somewhere.
Once you have it running in a container you can easily find a “how to” for k8s.
The basics of k8s are:
A collection (or single in this case) of images form a pod (virtual machine) that pod exposes ports to a service.
The service is a single app comprised of a collection of pods (usually only one actually)
The service then needs to expose ports to an ingress (think of an ingress like a load balancer) and the ingress will take the external ports to the cluster and use some magic to forward traffic to you pod
I was looking for it as well. I want to host the website using Caddy because I have a lot of config options available and I can fine tune it for my use cases.
I read a tutorial about using a Hugo Docker image, but then the hosting would be done by Hugo and not Caddy itself.
look up a tutorial on “dockerfile” as you’re essentially making one that installs your app.
Dockerfiles are basically “install” scripts that define how to set up a new machine with your application.
You’ll want to start with a base docker image that already has 90% of what you need.
look up docker hub nginx images and just create a docker file to populate your app to the nginx that’s already been installed there. Use the nginx image as your “source image” in docker.
It acts like a virtual machine template to launch your own docker image
