So you want to host a website. On the web!

You have a few questions that need to be answered:

What domain do you want

To see your options with domain names and setting them up, see: dns

*.devhack2.net is already configured t

because of how web proxy forwarding works, you need to configure the DNS to point to one of our existing web forward proxies (probably) and then configure the proxy to point to the final location of your website.

How are we deploying this site?

static html

if you're merely deploying static html, chucking it in a git repo with something to get it working with git-pages or our nix mothership deployment scheme would be the best way to go about it. or if you're fine with a tilde dir, throwing your files on aleph works great and has the added benefit of gopher and gemini hosting, too!

we're also hoping to provide an scp location to drop files

also getting neocities up and running would be cool.

pre-rendered

If you want to pre-render with some sort of templating system like hugo, deploying to our git with runners running the pre-render and then leaning on git-pages is definitely the way to go. or you can pre-render yourself on device and then deploy like a static html deploy would go.

server side app

If you need to do complicated things with your webapp, you're going to need to run code consistently somewhere. Now you need to figure out how you want to go about that

proxmox

run-a-vm

docker
