+<p>2022-07-29</p>
+<p>I recently switched the <a href="https://pblog.bt.ht">pblog</a> project repo over from Sourcehut to Codeberg (mostly for UX reasons) and it got me looking into <a href="https://codeberg.page">Codeberg Pages</a>. It seemed like a cleaner approach to host my personal blog on the same platform I planned to also share the source code.</p>
+<p>I decided to share the setup process here since I couldn&#8217;t find a straightforward guide explaining everything required to get going. So, let&#8217;s dig in.</p>
+<h2 id="create-the-repos">Create the Repos</h2>
+<p><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: My personal blog uses <a href="https://pblog.bt.ht">pblog</a>, so although these instructions will be catered towards that SSG the same concept <em>should</em> apply for any other generator (Jekyll, Hugo, Next, etc.).</p>
+<p>The first step is to create the main repo that would house the core files of <code>pblog</code>. Then we need to make a separate repo simply called <code>pages</code>. This second project is where all the generated &#8220;static&#8221; files get rendered.</p>
+<p><em>Side note</em>: Be sure to at least include a <code>README</code> file in that <code>pages</code> repo. This will avoid any errors or warnings when setting up our submodules in the next steps.</p>
+<h2 id="configuration-edits">Configuration Edits</h2>
+<p>Once your two repos are created, you will need to make some minor edits to the <code>_config.sh</code> in the core <code>pblog</code> project to tell the build script where the generated files should go (in this case the <code>pages</code> repo):</p>
+<pre><code>OUTPUT="_output&#47;pages&#47;"
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="the-submodule">The Submodule</h2>
+<p>Using terminal, navigate to the <code>_output&#47;</code> directory in your core <code>pblog</code> project. Run the following, remembering to replace the USERNAME parameter with your own:</p>
+<pre><code>git submodule add git@codeberg.org:USERNAME&#47;pages.git
+</code></pre>
+<p>If everything worked correctly you should now have a <code>.gitmodules</code> file in your main <code>pblog</code> project. If you get any errors, you might need to include the name of the directory at the end of the command:</p>
+<pre><code>git submodule add git@codeberg.org:USERNAME&#47;pages.git pages
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="the-workflow">The Workflow</h2>
+<p>Now you can make changes, add new posts and pages in the main <code>pblog</code> project and have those generated files render into your other <code>pages</code> repo. For this workflow, I simply push commits to both projects when I am happy with my changes but I&#8217;m sure you could look into automating this process (ie. a single push from the <code>pblog</code> repo forces a the <code>pages</code> repo to also update).</p>
+<p>Now you can navigate to the standard Codeberg Pages URL to see it in action:</p>
+<pre><code>USERNAME.codeberg.page
+</code></pre>
+<p>If you want to use your own custom domain (who doesn&#8217;t?) then continue reading.</p>
+<h2 id="custom-domains-optional">Custom Domains (Optional)</h2>
+<p>The first thing you will need to do is add a <code>.domains</code> file to your <code>pages</code> root directory. In this file you will want to list your custom domain on the first line, followed by the standard Codeberg pages URL below it. Like so:</p>
+<pre><code>yourcustomdomain.com
+USERNAME.codeberg.page
+</code></pre>
+<p>I&#8217;m keeping this very basic, but I suggest you look further into the <a href="https://docs.codeberg.org/codeberg-pages/#custom-domains">official documentation</a> if there are any extra settings you&#8217;d like to tinker with.</p>
+<p>The final step is configuring a <code>CNAME</code> DNS setting through your registrar:</p>
+<pre><code>@ -&#62; USERNAME.codeberg.page
+</code></pre>
+<p>Give the DNS settings a bit of time to take (24-48 hours) and you&#8217;ll have your custom domain working just fine.</p>
+<p>Happy hosting!</p>
