Is there a good alternative to github pages? I need just a static website up.

  • I have a domain.
  • I have my site (local machine)
  • And that’s all I have.
  • I have a machine that could be running 24/7 too.
  • Jeena@piefed.jeena.net

    If you want free static hosting then probably: https://wasmer.io/

    If you have the machine at home then you could set up port forwarding to it, but you would need to do everything yourself like:

    • running a web server like nginx
    • setting up ssl for it with certbot
    • storing the static files in /var/www/html for example
    • port forwarding from your router to that machine
    • using some service like DuckDNS to point a domain to your dynamic IP at home
    • pointing a CNAME to the DuckDNS subdomain on your domain
