Heroku-hosted custom Jekyll setup
I thought Heroku only allowed dynamically-generated content (with static assets hosted elsewhere)
But the whole point of Jekyll is that it generates a static site.
What am I missing? (seriously)
I thought a starter Heroku account might work well for a side project I have cooking... Coincidentally, I was reading about Jekyll as something fun to try. Combining both of them would be pretty cool.
- philwelch 15y agoHeroku doesn't actively prevent you from hosting a static site. Yeah, heavy assets like images and video should be hosted elsewhere, but with HTML and stuff it's fine to just throw it in a static Git repo and use Heroku.
- zizee 15y agoThe main thing that will stop you is the limit on the "slug size", which is 100mb. This is heaps for static text like html, but if your blog is image intensive you could hit the wall after a while. Video would push you over super quick.
