#staticwebsite

2025-04-29

Morning!

Need some #Frontend input.

I have a client who wants a basic site.
He is agnostic about the tech.
But he does need

  • A section that is passworded (that can be shared with credentials to contacts)

I want to use 11ty with Notion (or similar CMS). And do the password stuff with some auth (pretty new to me).

He is a photographer and has some images of drug use/abuse. So I was slightly cautious about putting images that could potentially violate a platforms TOS even if they are only ever served to pages that are behind a passworded folder.

We can happily go down the Wordpress route. My preference would be to avoid that, but at least he would have ownership of the DB.

Any thoughts? Insights?

TIA

Looking for CMS advice

Hey Web devs!

Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?

I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.

Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.

Needs

  • I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
  • Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
  • Static website in the front-end
  • Simple and reliable CI/CD
  • No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
  • Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
  • If it requires forge integration, it should support #ForgeJo
  • #OpenSource

Nice to have

  • Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
  • Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
  • CMS app packaged on @yunohost
  • No CMS vendor lock-in
  • I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
  • #FreeSoftware

Absolutely not

Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.

People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)

Horay, I've successfully converted a markdown.file into a html-file via @pandoc !

I guess my first question is... where can I even see how many build minutes or MB of bandwidth my site has used? 🤔

Right now I assume it's in the kB range still, just because I test-loaded the index page a few times, so not worth worrying about.

Update: Looks like that is still on the roadmap (statichost.eu/roadmap/)

Do I know anyone that has experience with statichost.eu/? I've been looking for replacements of my (quite low profile) S3-buckets-as-websites and this seems almost too good to be true.

I’ve created a test account, naturally, but if there are gotchas I'd love to hear them

Boosts :boost: appreciated

My personal site is a static website. I then decided to add a . I was doing everything manually (including the RSS!) because I wasn't able to find an app with a GUI that could generate a blog with a static page as homepage. Luckily, @publii added pages lately, so I'm trying using that. If all goes well, I may recommend it to people I know that wanted to ditch .

So... First experiments with using Obsidian and mkdocs to create a static website has been successful.

As have been tests, setting up the free version of CloudFlare to protect my stuff from 'AI crawler bots'.

Next on the list, converting a Wordpress blog into an Obsidian vault and turn it into a static website.

With the current situation at Wordpress going on, I'm not exactly trusting them...

As I needed to update my personnal website, and found myself frustrated with existing static website generator, I made a new one !
It's dead simple (if you know lua), and you know exaclty what happens and why, it just calls some lua functions and moves some files. No weird scripting language mangling with markdown, just good old lua !

Is there any way to convert epub files to static websites, with

- table of contents
- one chapter per page
- previous/next link on each page

automatically?


Have to convert around 900 epub ebooks from https://FreeTamilEbooks.com

to static sites and link there.

Should one use #hugo to generate a #staticwebsite website on #linux for uploading to a #webserver? Or are there other alternatives? What do you use? I am not an #html total novice but like an easy life not chasing missing brackets deep into the night #staticwebsites

My simple answer when someone ask me “what should I do with my wordpress blog or installation?”

“Go static!”

I'm a proponent of static websites. Most generators use a folder structure with Markdown files and other assets as the input.

However, not all users are confident editing Markdown and YAML front matter etc. by hand.

Are there any good web frontends for this kind of stuff?

It should feel like the authoring backend for WordPress or whatever random CMS, with a WYSIWYG editor, and the result are Markdown files & assets. Bonus points for Git support.

I'm working on a #staticwebsite project and would like to collect some #blog posts from those who have some good stories about blogging and the use of static sites. This is platform independent and aims to bring awareness to static websites, their use, fun, and other reasons to have a blog or website.

Hey Fediverse friends!

I am looking for #help with #Weblate for an #Eleventy static website for my workshop Knitting Our Internet.

I tried setting it up, but I can’t get my head around it!

Could anyone help out? I would just need help with the initial configuration.

More information about the task in this post on Weblate’s GitHub discussion

#Termux #staticweb #blog #webdev with #Pandoc, day 2.

Day 1 here: mastodon.ml/@jilotta/112797081

Changelog:
+ Added first article and article index
+ Changed the colorscheme so that clicked links look pale and blend into text while fresh links are accented.
+ Added a <meta name="theme-color"> tag into template so that the browser statusbars match the background in color.
+ Fixed error screen. It's no longer white and lifeless. Now the font and the colorscheme match the rest of the website.
+ Added joke
+ Added favicon
+ Fixed file hierarchy

Quark (by suckless), the server I'm using, doesn't support HTTPS by default, and for it to work I'd need to install a TLS proxy.

It would be impossible to actually host the website from Termux since port :80 (the HTTP port) is blocked by the Android system. Currently, the site is hosted on my local WiFi at port :6969.

Hey! Glad to see you here!

This is an archive of my thoughts for you to enjoy (or suffer, depending on the time of day).

I’m a fan of minimalism; a fanatic, even. That’s why there are no distracting navbars, sidebars or theme options. If you want to change the theme, use Stylus.

Before you read: if you question whether I’m serious or not, the answer would be “yeah, no”.

With that in mind,

Articles
Posticles (sometimes in Russian)
Testicles (striked out)
Brain (leads to 404)
Also, the website is hosted on an Android phone. Every page here was written in Termux, and is served from there as well. Read more.Articles index:

Go back to the home page if you want :3The first article:

Hello, world!
Hello and welcome to this blog!

I am now at my grandparents’ house, and don’t have a computer with me. At the same time I wanted to start blogging, so I thought,

why not?

Why don’t I host my blog on Termux? It’s all static anyway, it’s not like there’ll be comments.

And so, the blog was born.
(horizontal line)

That’s right, the page you’re on, as well as the rest of the website, is hosted on an Android phone!

It isn’t that much of an acheivement, actually. Everything on this website is static. Every page is generated from Markdown using Pandoc, and served with Quark from suckless. I really like Suckless, and had been using their dwm for a year and a half before switching to KDE.

Quark needs root permissions to bind to a port, so I use the Root config by AdarshAdde a.k.a Mr Idealhat. It doesn’t actually require root permissions and instead uses proot. Without it, I wouldn’t have known proot even existed.

The whole website is written in Helix. It’s a great editor, and I use it on my computer as well.

Have fun and explore the rest of the website!
