Motivation

When having some web servers running on jails or virtual machines you must have a proxy server to broadcast your requests. Once the syntax of nginx set up is understood, the configuration is a breeze.

Nginx runs in a jail

A jail is especially dedicated to nginx. Its installation is obvious through the pkgsystem. Then the configuration files remain in `/usr/local/etc/nginx'.

Motivation

For fun I want to host my portfolio site on a homebrew FreeBSD server running iocage jails. This portfolio site (the one you are reading now) is intented to present some of my explorations in computer science and by the side getting me hired.

For tuning up the site, a development copy must run on my desktop machine, a FreeBSD (13.0-RELEASE) + KDE plasma (5.22). So I installed zola on FreeBSD.

I - Installation on the development computer (desktop)

1 - Zola installation on FreeBSD

dc@kahlo /u/h/dc> pkg search zola
zola-0.15.2                    Fast static site generator
dc@kahlo /u/h/dc> sudo pkg install zola

2 - Visual Studio Code installation

dc@kahlo /u/h/dc> pkg search vscode
vscode-1.63.2                  Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS")
dc@kahlo /u/h/dc> sudo pkg install vscode

This is a small example post of stuff you can do with the DeepThought theme. We'll try to represent all possible markdown and shortcode combinations here so you can develop easily.

DeepThought theme provides some config option like option to add favicon to your site, add avatar for profile, setup social links for the profile etc

DeepThought theme provides multiple shortcodes on top of built-in ones in Zola. Please, have a look at the Config Options that explain how to enable them.
