Not an ad, I’m not involved with Bento (or Stirling, for that matter). I’ve been unhappy with Stirling for a while (why do documents need to be uploaded to the server? That makes it really hard to safely host publicly. Why is it so slow? Plus, too many things are put behind a fucking paywall).

Learned about Bento this morning, tried it out, really liked it, spent an hour today packaging it for nixpkgs. It doesn’t quite have feature parity with Stirling yet, but at least for me, everything I need is there, it’s fast, and it keeps processing in the browser. Like, not even joking: the output of the build process/nixpkg are just a couple of static HTML files and some WASM. No server-side components at all. Really refreshing to see.

    Their web page doesn’t really mention self-hosting, but there’s github link way down at the bottom and that has self-hosting instructions.

      Ah, thanks for mentioning. Yep, they have a docker image; as mentioned, a nixpkg will be available soonTM; and frankly, you can just build / download the release artifacts and put them on any static host.
