I might get downvoted for not getting on the 2000s style of development bandwagon, but do you really need a web server to serve static text?

- bellyfullofbac 5y agoWhat do you suggest, Gopher?
- crazy_horse 5y agoNginx.
- Zababa 5y agoNginx is a web server though. You're assuming that by "web server" the first comment meant "web framework"?
- CyanLite2 5y agoCloudflare
- mr_toad 5y agoLast I checked cloudflare was running nginx.
- SilverRed 5y agoGithub/Gitlab pages is my choice for being free, managing https and just generally being pretty good. You can even use the CI to compile the site for you.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoAh, kids these days. So I guess by "webserver" grandparent meant "A server you actually control", and by "not webserver" people mean "It's on the cloud somewhere". GH/GL-pages still respond to HTTP/HTTPS requests, in my dictionary that's a webserver, but I guess for the millennials (I say with snark) it means "I don't have to think about what happens, it just serves my content for me."
- Gigachad 5y agoI read "do you need a webserver" like "do you need one yourself" and freeloading off someone elses server like with GL pages counts as not having a webserver. Otherwise how else would you serve content?
