I'm using this for my mother's website (https://www.touchofglass.eu/ https://www.touchofglass.eu/), and my only complaint is that it assumes you version a website in a Git repository. You can work around it by uploading a tarball or something like that, but it is far less convenient than using sftp/rsync. But considering that we are far into the free 10GB a month and I only have to update it very infrequently, it seemed like the best solution.

Seriously, no WebDAV?

  According to the docs no, but I did find out that they now provide a script that automates the process https://www.statichost.eu/docs/direct-upload/ https://www.statichost.eu/docs/direct-upload/.

  WebDAV used to be a tire fire, is it not anymore? I'd probably prefer SFTP, it just works

  Btw highly recommend glass workshop like this. I did one and was surprised how easy it was to make a good looking coaster with no artistic talent.

  "Research has shown that being creative through art projects can help promote stress relief, increase self-esteem, help connect with others, and boost intrinsic motivation. So, participating in mindful art projects can open one's mind to more positive thoughts and offer alternative solutions to life problems." And wise. Well done publishing the Web site which works without fuss in a calm way.

Do you mind sharing what (if anything) you're using to version that website? I'm wondering what folks use instead of git nowadays.

  Back in the day people used to build a website without any versioning. Just make it and upload it. Make a change, upload it again.

    Then people realized why that's such a bad idea
    - pkal 21d ago
      Why should it be? In my experience it depends on the case, and in my case it seems like an absolute technological overkill to version the site and have statichost regularly pull from some repository, as I update it perhaps once a year.

        I mean, versioning is basically free from a technical / storage / time spent standpoint, and my experience says that if you don’t do it you likely will lose your code at some point

        To be fair you can have versions and backups even if you don't use a versioning tool like git. Good old _v2, _v3, _v4.
