About this site

This page is served from site/content/about.md. Edit that file, rebuild the Docker image, and redeploy to update it — every page on this site is a plain Markdown file that Hugo turns into HTML at build time.

Why a static site?

• Fast — every page is a pre-built HTML file; there’s no database query or template render on each request.
• Simple to secure — with no application code running server-side, there’s a far smaller attack surface than WordPress, Ghost, or any other dynamic app on this VPS.
• Cheap to run — the container serving this site is just nginx handing out static files, so it uses a fraction of the CPU/RAM of the other stacks here.

How this stack fits in

Like every other app on this VPS, hugo.amaris1.com sits behind the shared nginx-proxy + acme-companion pair from the mail server stack, which is what gives it HTTPS with an auto-renewing Let’s Encrypt certificate.
