If you’re reading this right now, it’s because this site was built and deployed automatically by a self hosted Forgejo actions runner I spent the last weekend setting up and configuring. Here’s how I did it and what the docs don’t tell you.

First things first

Firstly, I needed my own Forgejo instance to host the repository for this site. I already had a homelab server I run several services on, so I decided to use that.

This is oficially the first test run of my personal site, generated with Hugo and (hopefully, if everything worked properly) built with Forgejo runner.

Here I’ll document my thoughts, opinions (which are, by the way, my own only) and experiences regarding anything technology-related.

I hope you enjoy reading it!
