* A public webserver capable of running Python, Apache/NGINX and/or gunicorn. This server does not need to be the same as the
server running the site, but it must have access to your CI/CD chain. Same server is of course easier to implement.
## Depdencies
* Python 3.8
* flask
* flask-cors
* flask-sqlalchemy
* flask-login
* antispam
* pyyaml
* requests
* py3-validate-email
* Recommended OS: Ubuntu 20, Debian Buster
* Recommended Server Software: Apache with libmodwsgi for Python 3
* GoHugo, but the json can also be used by Javascript and other languages

### Javascript
In the project folder is a small javascript file. You will need to load this into Hugo, I suggest using Hugo's asset
pipeline to integrate it into your site. One thing is important to know: this script only does the bare bones post request

so you can control what happens during the various stages.
TODO: Example using the javascript properly
In the project folder is a small javascript file. You will need to add this to Hugo. I suggest using Hugo's asset
pipeline to integrate it into your site and merge it with your current javascript.
One thing is important to know: this script only does the bare bones post request to the comment backend.
Anything else must be done by yourself, such as messages about minimum length etc.
But don't worry: The function is making use of a callback, where you can receive various messages with error codes
and act on them. See the javascript file for an example callback.

to do after that, is to rebuild Hugo and the new comment should appear.

`-noChmod` is a very important switch for this, because it stops the server from adjusting the file permissions.
`-noChmod` is a very important switch for this, because it stops Hugo from adjusting the file permissions.
This comes in handy if you have a difference in user and group on your web server. `--cleanDestinationDir` and `--gc`
will clean old files out, so you don't have to worry about synching the public directory with the current content of
your static or assets dir. There will also be no old CSS files be lying around when using fingerprinting.
