apalrds adventures | MOVING My Website from Static Hosting to Caddy! @apalrdsadventures | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
I've been using Linode's object hosting for my website for ~2 years now, and it's time for a change. I'm not unhappy with Linode, but object hosting isn't for me any more and I'd like to move up to a virtual private server. Object hosting is a fantastic way to get started with a static website for a low cost, but I want better backend analytics and more control of the whole process, so I'm setting up my own VPS using Caddy. At the same time, I'm setting up a privacy-respecting analytics system (Goatcounter) to read the web server log files and tell me how many viewers are enjoying my website. So, come along on this adventure!

I've of course made sure the site is fully dual-stack with excellent IPv6 support, and even support HTTP/3 (QUIC)! Hopefully that helps with the site latency for those of you in Australia.
