NoNonsense.cooking

NoNonsenseCooking is a static site for curated recipes, built with Hugo. It keeps pages fast and free of the usual recipe-site bloat.

Why?

A place to share favorite recipes without overwhelming ads and trackers.

Requirements

• Hugo Extended 0.161.1+ (or build with the Dockerfile, which uses ghcr.io/gohugoio/hugo:v0.161.1)

Local development

hugo server

Open the URL Hugo prints (usually http://localhost:1313/).

Adding a recipe

Recipes are page bundles under content/r/<slug>/:

• index.en.md — English (with matching index.de.md for German)
• Shared translationKey in front matter (typically the folder name)
• Optional image file beside the markdown (e.g. my-dish.jpg referenced as image: my-dish.jpg)

Use hugo new content/r/<slug>/index.en.md and edit the front matter; see an existing bundle for the full shape (ingredients in front matter, numbered steps in the markdown body).

If the image is not in the bundle, place a 3:2 image under static/img/recipes/ and reference its filename in image.

“Most popular” recipes (Plausible)

Homepage ordering can use data/popular.yaml (en / de lists of recipe folder slugs).

Refresh from your self-hosted Plausible instance:

export PLAUSIBLE_API_KEY=...
# optional: PLAUSIBLE_BASE_URL, SITE_ID, PERIOD, LIMIT
./scripts/fetch-popular.sh

This writes data/popular.yaml and runs hugo --minify --gc.

Production build

hugo --minify --gc

Output is in public/.

Docker + Traefik

The image serves the static public/ tree with Caddy on port 8080 (TLS terminates at Traefik).

docker build -t nononsensecooking .
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 nononsensecooking

Example docker-compose.yml (external traefik network) is in the repo root—adjust host / cert resolver labels to match your setup.
