+After years of hosting this blog on [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/), I've
+decided to finally move it to my [Dokku](https://dokku.com/) server hosted with
+[Linode](https://www.linode.com/). Don't get me wrong Netlify is great, but
+I realised I wanted a bit more control over my own hosting and Dokku gives me
+that. I'd like to spin up a Gemini site at some point in the future and hosting
+on my own server should make that much easier.
+
+After playing around with various buildpacks to build the site on Dokku I ended
+up settling on a custom `Dockerfile` config that works great and means I can
+deploy in less than two minutes.
+

+
+```dockerfile
+# Dockerfile
+FROM alpine:latest
+RUN apk add --no-cache bash hugo
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY . ./
+```
+
+```sh
+# Procfile
+release: hugo -v
+web: hugo server --disableLiveReload --bind '0.0.0.0' -p ${PORT}
+```
+
+This was all that was required to get things up and running. The site generates
+a lot of resized images on build so I needed to mount a volume to make sure that
+was persistent between deploys.
