At the moment it's offline because I'm between homes, but normally I have a cluster of Raspberry Pis running Kubernetes to host my blog and a few other services. Unfortunately, the Pis need static IP addresses which requires admin access to the router, which I lack as I'm staying at an AirBnB, so in the meanwhile my site is running on an EC2 spot instance.
- MayeulC 4y agoGet a VPN from a reputable ISP, or to a VPS. As a bonus, it's much easier to host mail as you can customize reverse DNS. You also get a "clean" IP, IPv6 regardless of your current ISP, and a static IP. It's also possible to host a static website on IPFS and point DNS records to cloudfare or another public gateway to let them handle the web server part.
- throwaway894345 4y agoYeah, there are a lot of options for static site hosting. I’m not doing in on a Kubernetes Raspberry Pi cluster because it’s easy! To be clear, the static IPs for my Raspberry Pis aren’t public addresses—I already proxy tunnel through a VPS, but Kubernetes gets cranky if a node’s private IP address changes, so I need static private addresses (and in the interim, I’ve just put the whole blog into the VPS). There’s probably a better solution, but I haven’t struck upon it yet.
