bradenn/website

A no-bullshit personal website. The internet is full of pop-ups, ads, cookie notifications, and all kinds of junk. I wanted my website to be as basic as possible. The bulk of the site is 100% HTML/CSS. The backend is used for light house keeping and dockerization.

Personal Website

This is my no-bullshit personal website. It is literly text, links, and pretty colors. Feel free to fork and use for yourself. You can spice it up with changing the font or using a different color theme.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/bradenn/website.git
cd website
npm install
echo "PORT=3000" > .env # This is for development only

Running In Development

Basic:

node app.js

Recommended:

nodemon app.js

Running In Production

I recommend using docker if you have access, even for such a lightweight project.

Build Your Container

docker build . -t [your-name-space]/[your-image-name]:[version]

Push Your Container

Make sure you are logged in first, then push to Docker hub

docker push [your-name-space]/[your-image-name]:[version]

Considering CI

For something this small, setting up ci may seem trivial. It is. You can at least setup github to build your image. Here is my GitHub Action workflow. .github/workflows/docker-image.yml

Considerations

Why not just a single html file? That is a wonderful question. With the way I have all of my servers configured, I don't really have a way to serve an HTML file without using more resources than express.
