Testing out a fun experiment of running a variation of my existing website locally.
What's cool about it?
- Served off a Raspberry Pi Zero 1.3
- Running entirely in RAM (thanks Alpine!)
- Web server -> darkhttpd
- Has a tiny ~$4/year VPS in front of it handling the TLS terminationI'm sure things will explode if too many visitors slammed the poor little Pi, but I think regular traffic would be completely fine
If interested: https://zero.btxx.org
PS. sorry if it falls over!

@bt that's something very cool! Can you please elaborate on the necessity of VPS for it?

@alexeystar You don’t actually need it - I just didn’t want to put more strain on the limited Pi. It also hides the ISP IP (which isn’t a big deal)

@bt I think I got the idea, thanks. What's the power consumption? Do you think it could run solely on solar power?

@alexeystar Oh 100%. I saw someone recently do just that:
