+# nik4nao — Personal Portfolio
+

+
+Live at [nik4nao.com](https://nik4nao.com)

+
+## Local development
+
+**Prerequisites:** Hugo extended, Git
+
+```bash
+git clone --recurse-submodules <repo-url>
+cd portfolio
+hugo server -D
+```
+
+The site will be available at `http://localhost:1313`.
+
+---
+
+## Adding content
+
+### Blog post
+
+```bash
+hugo new content posts/my-post.md
+```
+
+### Project
+
+Create `content/projects/my-project.md` with this front matter:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: "Project Name"
+description: "Short description shown on the projects index."
+tags: ["go", "kubernetes", "docker"]
+github: "https://github.com/nik/project"
+url: "https://project.example.com"
+---
+
+Project body in Markdown...
+```
+
+No code changes required — the project will appear automatically on `/projects`.
+
+### CV
+
+Edit `content/cv.md` directly. The PDF download link points to `static/cv/nik-afiq-cv.pdf`; replace that file to update the downloadable version.
+
+---
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+hugo --minify
+# Output written to public/
+```
+
+Or via Docker:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t portfolio .
+docker run -p 8080:80 portfolio
+```
+
+---
+
+## CI/CD
+
+Gitea Actions pipeline at [.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml](.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml).
+
+| Event | Jobs |
+|-------|------|
+| Push to `main` | Build + push multiarch image (`linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`), deploy to cluster |
+| Pull request | Hugo build check only — no push, no deploy |
+
+Images are tagged `latest` and `<short-sha>` and pushed to `gitea.home.arpa/nik/portfolio`.
+
+Deployment rolls out `deployment/portfolio` in the `portfolio` namespace via SSH + kubectl.
+
+### Required secrets
+
+| Secret | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `CA_CERT` | Internal CA cert for the self-hosted registry |
+| `REGISTRY_USER` | Gitea container registry username |
+| `REGISTRY_PASSWORD` | Gitea container registry password |
+| `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` | SSH key for deploy host (`192.168.7.77`) |
+
+---
+
+## Theme
+
+[panr/hugo-theme-terminal](https://github.com/panr/hugo-theme-terminal) — added as a git submodule at `themes/terminal`. Do not modify theme files directly; all overrides live in `layouts/` and `static/css/custom.css`.
