vbtronic.com

Personal website of Viktor Brunclík. Built with Hugo.

Live site: https://www.vbtronic.com

Prerequisites

• Hugo (extended edition, v0.145.0+)

Local Development

# Start the development server with live reload
hugo server -D

# Build the site (output goes to ./public/)
hugo

The dev server runs at http://localhost:1313 by default.

Content

All content lives in the content/ directory as Markdown files:

• content/_index.md — Home page (bio, projects)
• content/posts/ — Blog posts

Adding a New Post

Create a new Markdown file in content/posts/:

hugo new posts/my-new-post.md

Or manually create a file with frontmatter:

---
title: "My New Post"
date: 2026-02-07
description: "A brief description."
---

Your content here.

Deployment (CI/CD)

This site is deployed automatically to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions.

Setup

1. Go to your repository on GitHub: Settings → Pages
2. Under Source, select GitHub Actions
3. Push to the main branch — the site will build and deploy automatically

Important: Pages must be enabled (steps 1–2) before the first push, otherwise the workflow will fail with a configure-pages error.

The workflow is defined in .github/workflows/deploy.yml.

Contact Form (FormSubmit)

The site uses FormSubmit for contact forms (external backend + inbox delivery, no custom backend/database in this repo).

No GitHub secret is needed. Forms post directly to:

https://formsubmit.co/vb@vbtronic.com

On first submission, FormSubmit may ask for activation/confirmation of the destination email inbox.

Custom Domain

The primary domain is www.vbtronic.com, with the apex vbtronic.com redirecting to it.

1. In Settings → Pages, enter www.vbtronic.com as your custom domain
2. Add DNS records with your domain registrar:
   • www subdomain: CNAME record pointing to vbtronic.github.io
   • Apex domain (vbtronic.com): A records pointing to GitHub Pages IPs (this enables the redirect to www):
     • 185.199.108.153
     • 185.199.109.153
     • 185.199.110.153
     • 185.199.111.153
3. Check Enforce HTTPS in Settings → Pages once the certificate is provisioned
4. Wait for DNS propagation (can take up to 24h)
