Hexo

The connector for this framework has undergone end-of-life. Usage of this guide is restricted to Edgio v7.5.x or lower. However, we strongly recommend that you integrate this framework through our generic Node.js connector instead.
This guide shows you how to deploy a Hexo application to Edgio.

Connector

Edgio provides a connector for this framework. Learn more.

Prerequisites

Setup requires:

Install the Edgio CLI

If you have not already done so, install the Edgio CLI.
Bash
1npm i -g @edgio/cli@latest

Create a new Hexo app

If you don’t already have a Hexo app, create one by running the following:
Bash
1npm install -g hexo-cli
2hexo init blog
3cd blog
4npm install
You can verify your app works by running it locally with:
Bash
1hexo server

Configuring your Hexo app for Edgio

Initialize your project

In the root directory of your project run edgio init:
Bash
1edgio init --edgioVersion 7.5.0
This will automatically update your package.json and add all of the required Edgio dependencies and files to your project. These include:
  • The @edgio/core package
  • The @edgio/cli package
  • The @edgio/hexo package
  • edgio.config.js - Contains various configuration options for Edgio.
  • routes.js - A default routes file that sends all requests to Hexo. Update this file to add caching or proxy some URLs to a different origin.

Routing

The default routes.js file created by edgio init sends all requests to Hexo server via a fallback route.
JavaScript
1// This file was added by edgio init.
2// You should commit this file to source control.
3

4const { hexoRoutes } = require('@edgio/hexo')
5const { Router } = require('@edgio/core/router')
6

7export default new Router().use(hexoRoutes)

Running Locally

To test your app locally, run:
Bash
1edgio run
You can do a production build of your app and test it locally using:
Bash
1edgio build && edgio run --production
Setting --production runs your app exactly as it will be when deployed to the Edgio cloud.

Deploy to Edgio

Deploy your app to the Sites by running the following commands in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1edgio deploy
Your initial CDN-as-code deployment will generate system-defined origin configurations along with those defined within your edgio.config.js. Learn more about system-defined origins.
