A New Stack

Out with the Old

After nearly a decade of running markepps.com with Ghost on a DigitalOcean droplet (with 1vCPU / 2GB RAM for $13.20USD monthly) I’ve decided it’s time for a change.

In with the New

So, what’s changed? I’ve moved to something simpler (free, no VM to manage and something new to learn). The new site is built with the open-source static site generator Hugo and hosted on Cloudflare Pages.

How It’s Built

The entire site is managed through a Git repo - markymarkepps/markepps-com. I write a post locally, push the changes to GitHub, and Cloudflare Pages takes care of the rest.

What’s Next?

The goal is to use this to learn more about programming, my homelab projects, and hopefully share a recap of this years trip through Europe.

Thanks!
