@girish Thanks!

@girish might take a look someday

Ah, thanks! I’m just getting started with Git/Github, so wasn’t aware of that.

Solved by upgrading macOS git to latest version as suggested here.

@girish ,yes I assume its git pages compatible ,infact the code which I uploaded was taken from github previously ,the website was built using nextjs

@girish unfortunately no. i've sent you an email

@girish I created a 404.html both in the file manager and in the git repo---nothing. @robi checked I took a look in the file manager & terminal and there were no clues as to why the repo was there but the files were not I did find a workable solution: I ended up cloning the repo into /app/data/ and then renaming the directory to 'website' and now it's live again. I seem to have to pull manually from the app's terminal though, and can't just push to the 'page' remote from my local machine. Is there a git command I can use in the /app/data/website directory to have it stay synced to the 'page' remote like the cloudron app should be doing anyway?

@girish Thanks for the sanity check. There does seem to have been something wrong with my jekyll site creation. Trying again, it works as advertised...!? I can see a remote: => jekyll build line in the git-push output. IIRC I did attempt this more than once earlier, and I'm not sure what was wrong. Anyway, hopefully this thread may nevertheless be helpful for someone else getting started on this.

@jordanurbs @girish fixed, had to run git config --global http.version HTTP/1.1 and then switch back

@gerben thanks, I have tried to fix it in the latest release.

Yeah I've often found the GitHub Pages app clunky and hard to use. Add in the features of Surfer and I really don't see a need to have GitHub Pages on here. But yeah check out Surfer for sure.

@gerben said in Performance: We might indeed try use such a CDN if it turns out to be needed (probably not cloudflare, to not centralise the web too much). Ideally people would all just get our site via peer-to-peer delivery instead. Totally agreed. We self-host pretty much everything (other than the servers itself). Though I suggested Cloudflare, I was really nudging you towards maybe using a CDN since CDN has it's use cases. People have suggested BunnyCDN as well. That said, we don't use CDN ourselves, even for https://cloudron.io and https://docs.cloudron.io. It's served from surfer. This is mostly for ideological reasons, we are willing to give up on some speed and not centralize (we used to have it on AWS Cloudfront before).

@girish Ohh, I didn't know that.. it looks so official, logo and all.. I found it weird as it's not quite fully self-hosting.. can we make it work with GitLab/Gitea/Gogs?

@girish It worked! Need to change some of the jekyll code around to transition from github to this, but looks good!

@girish Works, thanks you!

@will If you already have a basic site setup (using HTML) just push that to the ghpages app, no need for jekyll. Otherwise see https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/githubpages/ If you want, maybe easier - You can upload static HTML to the LAMP app too. under the /app/data/public folder.

@yusf That query for credentials each time can get annoying very quickly.. For now, you can setup this netrc file. Please see https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/githubpages/#publishing-pages . Coming release, we are looking into ssh based push that will bypass this non-stop password querying.

Thanks, that resolved my issue.
