Another reason I like static websites is that they're easy and quick to deploy.<\/p>\n\n

Whether you use write each HTML file by hand or use a static site generator<\/a>, a simple Web server like Caddy, Nginx or Apache can load and serve your website for everyone to see.<\/p>\n\n

My Sculpin website generates an output_prod directory after I run sculpin generate<\/code> with my deployable files.<\/p>\n\n

I manage my own server with NixOS that hosts a number of static websites, such as examples from talks and blog posts.<\/p>\n\n

To upload my files onto the server, I just use rsync - a small command line tool to synchronise files between computers.<\/p>\n\n

It's a single command to upload the contents of my output_prod directory to the directory on my server.<\/p>\n\n

No complex CI pipelines or database migrations.<\/p>\n\n

It's fast, simple and minimal.<\/p>\n\n

If you prefer to use a service like Netlify or Vercel, they work great for static websites too.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
