The deploy command is https. staticland doesn't use git at all, just deals with the built site produced by whatever static site generator you use.

I'll add some examples to the docs! Thanks for pointing that out.

For jekyll, the short version is you can do something like this:

> jekyll build

> staticland _site/ yourdomain.tld

Thanks, this is an important point. static.land itself may be best considered a demonstration of the open source software. If someone has significantly large files they're looking to host, they would want to host the staticland-api server themselves or consider other options. I'll add some text to the site about this.

Cool, that's a good idea! The granular nginx control definitely sounds nice.

So far not much interest, but this post is also the first time I've done any significant promotion. If you want to go with a really solid static site hosting company netlify.com seems like a great choice. You could also always set up a staticland-api server on your own. Right now I'm using static.land for 12+ of my own sites that I rely on and more on the way, so it's not going anywhere.

Definitely similar. I really love surge, and have too many static sites to pay the per-site costs to get SSL.

Thanks!

That is unfortunate! Looks like the two projects were started around the same time, too. I may add a note to the site/readme pointing people to that repo if they were looking for it.

Static site hosting is cheap, and I'm not super interested in competing with other services with per-site costs. staticland is primarily an open source project that I use for my own purposes, and I'm open to building out static site deployment projects that fit a company's specific use case based on staticland.

Yes. I'll add a note to the site about that. Installing the staticland command-line tool is `npm install -g staticland`
