Over the past several months, I’ve opened up to the idea of using ansible and kamal to manage VPSes where I host sites that I want to make accessible to the public. Now, I’m setting up a new service that includes a basic static site, where I need a way to easily share files with people. For other similar static sites, I’ve been using a shared host or my git forge’s “pages” service. But these files are not source code and are larger than I want to put on the git forge, and my VPS has plenty of space; I’d rather not pay for the space for them on my shared host.
So since I’m already using kamal on the VPS I’m already paying for, I’ve decided to host a static site in what might be the silliest way possible.
