wow it's really been super long since i had to touch anything php

suggestions for the pixie pages domain welcome btw, it doesn't have to directly have pixie in there as long as it fits thematically

Show thread

pixie.page would've been cool but not 70 euros cool ya know

Show thread

meh domain i wanted to get is a 70eur premium, fuck that

when you don't sleep long enough for there to be fun new messages to read up... i hate friday

hmm maybe this would also be a nice way to get a couple more donations, to offset other pixietown spending

Also: i've since realized Github and Gitlab actually combine their pages server with CI for stuff like Jekyll, I want to look into this but it's dependent on setting up Drone CI for git.pixie.town first

How does pages work? (not yet, that's how :p)

- Gitea user adds `domains.txt` to their repo/branch for verification
- Site is available at branch.repo.user.pages.pixie.town or similar (with defaults so you can leave out branch.repo.)
- This can also be used to CNAME a custom domain to the same content
- Or a combination of A/AAAA records + TXT because you can't CNAME @
- Upon access, pixie-pages automatically requests TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt to respond
- ???
- (non-)Profit!

Today I got started on pages, an alternative to Github/Gitlab/Codeberg Pages:

Static site hosting from Gitea repositories

so far none of the gitea related parts are worked on, but it can seamlessly request ACME ssl certificates for *any domain* it's accessed from, which is really cool imo

git.pixie.town/f0x/pixie-pages

i can simply browse to *any domain* that points to my server, and it will automagically request an ACME certificate and use that to respond

sub processing github.com/letsencrypt/pebble in my testing code for a local acme server, editing the config on the fly so it requests certificates from there
