Adding fuel to the fire of "this is over engineering" but this is overkill right?! I'm not in the web development field but my own site is just deployed with Emacs (specifically HTML generated from org-mode).

>this is overkill right?!

My Ops brain says "Taken in vacuum, yes" However, if you make other things that are not static, put them into a container and run said container on a server, keeping the CI/CD process consistent makes absolute sense.

We run static sites at my company in containers for same reason. We have Kubernetes cluster with all DNS Updating, Cert Grabbing and Prometheus monitoring so we run static sites from nginx container.

I'd be a lot more impressed if your static site was served from Emacs :)

You joke but this is absolutely a thing: https://github.com/skeeto/emacs-web-server

I'm interested in doing this. Have you posted about your process?

[marmalade2413]

Yes! It's not hosted via Emacs but here's the static site generation process: https://abdrysdale.phd/colophon.html

Thank you so much, bookmarked for reading later this week. I added your RSS feed to my newsreader, but your RSS feed is broken.

Thank you! Ah I may need to work on improving the RSS reader. It seemed to work with my newsreader but it's far from perfect...
