fengari.io

[Bat1963]

Hello, the website (fengari.io) seems to have disappeared. I eventually learnt that it was very useful to test stuff out. Does it need a new VPS or something? I have a few cheappie ones if it will run from a folder. Happy to contribute towards this as I haven't donated anything to the project so far.

I think @giann got sick of paying the renewal fee for the .io which is non-trivial?

I have VPS(s) we can host on. Or really we could just host the site off github pages because it's all static.

[Bat1963]

Could you possibly let me know the domain name cost and whether Giann would be willing to reinstate it with some financiaI help. Hopefully not loads. I will be able to let you know if I can help. Fengari.net isn't too dear. Cheers for now.

I still have the domain but i shut down the digital ocean droplet.

[Bat1963]

Presumably that's the expensive bit? I've never used DO, sorry, just plain simple stuff. Does DO give you a certificate or something? I haven't tangled with https stuff either. How much is the droplet and what does it do ;-? Complete DO numpty here.

Apologies, I see a do droplet is a vps. I have 3 cheappie ones (don't we all) and am happy in priinciple to take forwards from the domain, if that is any use. Just need to get my head around the details. But it could happen - just let me know.

Does the website need a backend? Taking a peak on the site repo looks like it's just using lapis to serve etlua templating but that could be compiled AoT and served as static files. I think it be hosted on GitHub pages without cost to you.

[Bat1963]

Cool, I only know lighttpd so I am not sure I can help easily but happy to try. Just let me know.

We really could use this back up

[Bat1963]

I agree. Folk have suggestions and I am going to see if I can help although I don't have any experience in what's needed, plus other deadlines (damnation).

[giann]

An easier option might be to donate enough through github sponsor for me to pay the VPS.

Otherwise anyone able to setup the site can show it to me and i can point the DNS to it.

[Bat1963]

Donated ;-)

[leafo]

I deployed it here: https://fengari.moonscript.org/

I set up cloudflare to proxy for https. If you want to point to there (CNAME to fengari.moonscript.org) and don't want to use something like cloudflare to enable https then I can set up letsencrypt for the domain after it's pointing there.

Doesn't look like it, the current site can be hosted on github pages.

Lapis can be used to generate a static version of the site with something like:

lapis simulate / > index.html
lapis simulate /repl > repl

This can be done in a github action.

[giann]

Thanks @leafo. I'll update the DNS tomorrow.

@Bat1963 let me know if you want your donation refunded.

[Bat1963]

No worries, my friend, you funded this enough yourself over the years, so I am happy to contribute.

I recently added a bit to my tutorial here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/~rmhajc0/fengarilua.html

If you have a minute, please let me know of any major bloomers or omissions.

Best wishes, Jon.C.

P.S. the snapshots on the internet archive, e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20240210092430/https://fengari.io/ actually work for testing code. I was impressed.

that's what you (hopefully) get when it's 100% self-contained html and javascript 😄
