Description

Operator Framework sites are built with Hugo and the Docsy theme, which was previously versioned as a git submodule. We had to go pretty far outside of the accepted best practices to get our custom theme, and it has prevented us from migrating to newer versions of docsy.

Docsy is now available as a go module plugin to hugo instead, which should be significantly easier to upgrade.

Porting to module docs:

We will likely run into some trouble here, since we did so much beyond-best-practice stuff to override our custom theme. If we do, the best place ask questions here https://github.com/google/docsy/discussions/

Start with the current Hugo site setup and the Docsy conversion guide linked in the issue. Review how the custom theme overrides are currently wired, and use the linked Docsy discussion for questions about migration issues.
