I'm using GitHub pages as a free static webhost for small Hugo projects w/ their own build automation. And their own domain.

This makes it possible for website owner to make changes in markdown files and the website is built and deployed. It also makes it easy for me to follow and support via Git.

Are there any hosting alternatives for Hugo that are more FOSS but also very easy and cheap (doesn't have to be free, but I've found some that are way too pricey) ?

@benjaoming i have been thinking about this for a long time. Codeberg has a Pages server that is open source, and I think it could be cool to have something similar for @datacoop

@reynir @benjaoming @datacoop I think it has been abandoned I’m sure I read something about it wasn’t stable enough.

Anyway, here I’ve created a “standard” gitea action that would deploy a site by creating a tar of the directory given, scp it to a host and then there’s a worker that would, embed it into an nginx container, create a “random” hostname on a subdomain I own, and ask for a hole in my inbound proxy.

It should be manageable to do something to convert markdown into html first.

@reynir @benjaoming @datacoop Okay, not abandoned but in maintenance mode.

@bvli @benjaoming @datacoop as I remember it their design is a bit naïve. I would like to make a new implementation with fresh design mistakes of course

@reynir @benjaoming @datacoop Interesting idea!
