I use Hugo too for https://apporchestra.com I have it in a GitLab repository with the continuous integration script configured to build and deploy it to Google app engine (configured as a static content so no paid instances are running) each time I push a commit.
MVP: You need a domain name, some hosting, 1 index.html at root for the main menu of links and 1 new file for each blog post. Make the title of each file the same as the title of your post like "Whats-a-good-static-site-generator.html" and dump the files in root as you go, link them from the main menu. You can write your posts and make the files using any text editor.
Worry about the stack later once you have a few posts under your belt and understand your mid-term use case.
But start now.
- Travis CI
- Cloudflare
- GitHub Pages
This is how I host my website completely for free with SSL. Whenever I commit it to GitHub it will build and deploy it for me.
EDIT: typos
The main reason is, that I really like jupyter notebooks and my blog began as experiments in Jupyter that I wanted to somehow preserve, i.e. http://notes.asaleh.net/posts/monoid-pattern-in-python/
Second reason is, that I like to experiment with format of my posts quite often (several were made in org-mode, i.e: http://notes.asaleh.net/posts/experimenting-with-purescripts...)
But it depends on what you want. I decided I want to write. So I focused on on writing and experimenting and try not to spend too much time on setup :-)
Good luck with your blog!
Its really different than other generators - it's a static CMS with GUI and themes. Comes with WP migrator, GitHub pages, Netlify, S3, Google cloud or sftp.
