Today’s blog of the day is a special one. It does not deal with cloud, DevOps or distributed systems. The theme of the blog is travel, life of digital nomad and observations on life from a perspective of a smart young woman, working as Online English teacher and travelling a lot while doing so - https://bookandtravel.blog/ What makes this blog dear and interesting to me is that it’s author is my daughter Silvia.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Lovely November day in Valencia

Parallel building challenges Unlike Github, Gitlab considers Hugo blogs first class citizens and does not impose any restrictions on repo naming. I had 3 challenges to overcome related to co-existence of GH and GL versions: I need to use same repo for both GH and GL the submodule link for public does not work on GL the site root is different - I have no custom domain forward for GitLab Using same repo To separate the GH and GL, I have added 2 remotes to repo and special branch gitlab-pages.

How does the blog setup and publishing work Before I forget, here is how the current configuration works. There are two repositories at play: source repo - https://github.com/miroadamy/miroadamy.com github pages repo (== GHPR) - https://github.com/miroadamy/miroadamy.github.io The blog source repo contains only source files (.md, static media etc). This repo has usual submodules under the /themes - e.g. /themes/even which is one currently used. The Githup pages repo contains generated static site, with index.
