Hugo Enc (Encryptor) 🔏

Note: This is a fork of https://github.com/Li4n0/hugo_encryptor

Hugo Enc is a tool to protect your Hugo posts. It uses AES-256 to encrypt the contents of your posts, and inserts a snippet of <script> code to verify whether the password is correct or not in readers' browser. Without a correct key, nobody can decrypt your private posts.

Hugo Enc currently works with HTML, XML and JSON outputs.

Note ⚠️

• Do remember to keep the source code of your encrypted posts private. Never push your blog directory into a public repository.

• Every time when you generate your site, you should run hugo_enc again to encrypt the posts which you want to be protected. If you are worried about you will forget that, it's a good idea to use a shell script to take the place of hugo,such as below:

  #!/bin/bash
  
  hugo
  hugo_enc
  # Then upload your generated output
