This page remains (somewhat) in the style of my website prior to getting my new laptop.
|
||
|
|
The theme of my website has obviously changed since the creation of this page. See <a href='/html/blog/posts/new-laptop.html'>blog post</a>.

This website is really weird from a technical standpoint.
|
||
|
|
Firstly, I have nginx operating as a proxy service for my subdomains.
|
||
|
|
I am not going to talk about my subdomains here because they will all probably be utterly self-explanatory, or have their own about section.
|
||
|
|
Following this, I have a simple python script running a webserver that serves html documents and other files, as you would expect.
|
||
|
|
The weirdness comes from the cursed custom """parser""" and syntax for the html documents.
|
||
|
|
Any html documents in the sites files may contain an expression like "$[echo \$\[...]]" where ... is bash code.
|
||
|
|
Upon being requested by a browser, the web server executes each instance of one of these expressions and replaces the expression with the executed expression's output.
|
||
|
|
In addition to this, upon being requested, each instance of "{}" in a page is replaced with an arbitrary value provided by the webserver and specified by its index in the list of all "{}"s in the file.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
In short, I generate static content for the pages (I am unwilling to use javascript because javascript) not through any standard means but through hacky and stupid bash scripts.
|
||
|
|
There is not a particular reason for me to do it this way, I was just bored.
|
||
|
|
A sort of neat example of this system is the html for the directory index page (like <a href='/files'>here</a>).

At the moment, this site is running on some dell optiplex 3040 (I think?) I have in my basement.
|
||
|
|
In the future, I would like to get this running on the server that I took from the basement of my school (with permission of an employee who I am pretty sure did not have the authority to allow me to do this, but I'm not complaining).

I have moved this site to the server. See <a href='/html/server-migration.html'>server-migration.html</a>

This website is designed to look reasonably similar to my laptop:

|
|
<img src='/files/my-laptop.png'/>
|
||
|
|
*My laptop no longer looks like this.
