selfhostit website

The selfhostit site: the app menu, the one-line installer and a contact page. It is plain HTML and CSS with no build step, served by GitHub Pages. The install guide it links to is in selfhostit/docs.

• index.html: the home page
• contact.html: the contact page
• style.css: styles, with a light and a dark theme
• img/: app icons and screenshots, copied from the app repositories and resized
• llms.txt: a plain-text summary for AI assistants (see llmstxt.org); keep its facts in step with the docs' security page
• .well-known/security.txt: where to report a security problem (RFC 9116); renew Expires before 2027-11-04

To see it, open index.html in a browser, or run python3 -m http.server here and open http://localhost:8000.

Adding an app to the menu

Copy one <article class="app"> block in index.html, put a 160px icon and a 480px wide screenshot in img/, and link the app's repository.

Publishing with GitHub Pages and a Porkbun domain

1. On GitHub: Settings > Pages > Build and deployment: Deploy from a branch, branch main, folder / (root). The site goes live at https://selfhostit.github.io/website/.

2. Still under Pages, enter selfhostit.org under Custom domain and save. The CNAME file in this repository already holds it.

3. On Porkbun: Domain Management > your domain > DNS. Delete the default parking records (the ALIAS or A records for the bare domain and the * and www CNAMEs), then add:

   Type	Host	Answer
   A	(blank)	185.199.108.153
   A	(blank)	185.199.109.153
   A	(blank)	185.199.110.153
   A	(blank)	185.199.111.153
   CNAME	www	selfhostit.github.io

   Porkbun's DNS page also has a Quick DNS config menu with a GitHub Pages option that adds the same records.

4. Back on GitHub, wait until the DNS check passes (minutes, sometimes an hour), then tick Enforce HTTPS.

Every push to main then updates the site within a minute.

Optional: to stop anyone else from claiming the domain on GitHub Pages, verify it in the organization settings under Pages > Add a domain.
