CRYSSITE

Websites are manufactured in two forms from silicon taken from a dead rock. The two forms are "self-hosted" and "hosted". A self-hosted website requires proximity to an owner's electrical field to prevent disintegration. Hosted websites are stored in datacenters.

One day, I decided to have a website. Then, I decided to host it in my flat.

Websites

Sites: Brain Rots · BSD · Cool Emacs · History of Unix

Mirrors: User Friendly Comic

Tech background

Everything here runs on Raspberry Pi 4. I use FreeBSD, plus two jails: one for reverse proxy (nginx), which also terminates SSL and takes care of dynamic IP (via dynu.com), the second stores static sites and serves them using nginx.

The data is served on a 750/40 MB/sec connection.

The base systems runs on standard RPI image with UFS, but all user data is stored on a thumb drive formatted as ZFS. It's faster than my upload.

Available under IPv4 only.
