It's funny that you mention this, because they actually do have a service for hosting static sites in conjunction with a CLI tool, wrangler, for publishing them: https://blog.cloudflare.com/extending-the-workers-platform/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/extending-the-workers-platform/
- anderspitman 6y agoThat's obviously a related idea, but I have concerns: * Complex. What if I don't need a CDN or kv store? * Why just static sites? Why not just forward to a local port then you can run whatever you want, including a static server. One huge advantage of being able to run on your local machine is you have access to terabytes of storage at very low cost. You can host as much images, videos, music, etc as you want, especially if it's behind a simple login (like a NextCloud server). * Not open source.
