After Dark includes a portable installation script for quick set-up:

{{< hackcss-card header=“themes/after-dark/bin/install” >}}

Expand to view script

{{< highlight sh “linenos=inline” >}} {{< include “themes/after-dark/bin/install” >}} {{< /highlight >}}

{{< /hackcss-card >}}

Please install {{< external href=“https://gohugo.io” text=“Hugo” />}} 0.44 or greater before running the script.

Script has been tested on Debian, BusyBox and Darwin, and should also work under Alpine, Ubuntu, Docker and Windows via {{< external href=“http://cmder.net” text=“Cmder” />}} without additional dependencies.

{{% hackcss-alert type=“warning” %}}Warning: Always examine scripts downloaded from the internet before running them locally. If you’d prefer not to run the script Download Manually.{{% /hackcss-alert %}}

Run the script however you like. Here are three possible methods:

1. Download and pipe to sh directly:

   {{< hackcss-alert >}} {{< highlight shell >}}wget -qO - https://go.habd.as/after-dark | sh{{< /highlight >}} {{< /hackcss-alert >}}

   (Cojones not included.)

2. Download into new file, chmod and execute:

   {{< hackcss-alert >}} {{< highlight shell >}}curl -O https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/after-dark@latest/bin/install && \ chmod +x install && ./install{{< /highlight >}} {{< /hackcss-alert >}}

   (It’s safe if it comes from a CDN, amirite?)

3. From canonical git clone:

   {{< hackcss-alert >}} {{< highlight shell >}}# clone source and change to source directory git clone https://git.habd.as/comfusion/after-dark.git && cd “$_”

use npm cli to get the release hash

echo “${$(npm run integrity)#*sha512-}”

run quick install after validating

./bin/install {{< /highlight >}}

{{< /hackcss-alert >}}

<i>(<a href="/feature/release-hashes/">Release Hashes</a> may be used for code validation.)</i>

Script should complete in 5-10 seconds resulting in a sample site and help docs:

}}

Multi-site Configuration

After Dark enables multi-site management from a single installation. To manage multiple websites use the -c and -d flags to specify the content and destination directories, respectively

For example, to generate an audio site using the current After Dark installation create an executable script to generate the site:

{{< hackcss-card header=“flying-toasters/bin/gen-audio-site” >}} {{< highlight shell >}}#!/bin/sh hugo -c sites/audio -d public/static.domain.example{{< /highlight >}} {{< /hackcss-card >}}

Where audio contains the content for that site:

├── layouts
├── sites
│   └── audio
│       ├── audiobooks
│       │   ├── gaining-currency.md
│       │   └── the-power-of-now.md
│       └── clips
│           └── war-of-the-worlds.md
├── static

And public contains a folder for each site:

public
└── static.domain.example
    ├── categories
    │   └── index.xml
    ├── audiobooks
    │   └── index.html
    ├── clips
    │   └── index.html
    ├── css
    ├── index.html
    ├── index.xml
    ├── js
    ├── sitemap.xml
    └── tags
        └── index.xml

And create another script to serve the content for editing:

{{< hackcss-card header=“flying-toasters/bin/serve-audio-site” >}} {{< highlight shell >}}#!/bin/sh hugo -c sites/audio{{< /highlight >}} {{< /hackcss-card >}}

Each subdirectory of public then becomes an independent, deployable website and exact copy save for destination content generated.

{{% hackcss-alert type=“info” %}}Tip: For additional flexibility type hugo --help and modify your scripts using the --theme and --config flags.{{% /hackcss-alert %}}

Multi-site is perfect for maintaining a consistent look-and-feel across multiple domain origins while limiting the need to run the Upgrade Script for each site.
