How to deploy a static site?

[heavy basin]

I have a really basic static site and was wondering how I would deploy it.

By the way, index.html is in the root folder of the project; no site or app folder.

You can deploy a static site with Railway by creating a file named Staticfile and pasting the following code: yaml status_codes: 404: 404.html Refresh the page a couple of times and click on build logs to check if the deployment was successful.

⚠️ experimental feature

take a look at the caddy template

I don't know what exactly the bot's talking about, but you should be able to create a nixpacks.toml like the following:

providers = ["staticfile"]
[phases.build]
cmds = ["<something>"]

If your build command outputs to dist it should be picked up and served automatically

do i really need a /site folder?

i still want it to work as a static site too just in case

[quick zinc]

honestly, youre better off with github pages, netlify, vercel, cloudflare pages

[heavy basin]

github pages sucks and vercel costs money for orgs

on github pages ur stuck with using github.io

[quick zinc]

On GitHub Pages, you can definitely use a custom domain

I do that for my website, and it works well

In the pages settings, there should be a textbox for the domain

Configure your DNS as in the above article, and it should work
