Your web server having an interactive shell (REPL) where you can live update entries in your site/app’s database is pretty neat (if I do say so myself) :)

(I’m porting the Small Technology Foundation site¹ from Site.js² – and hence from being a static site generated via Site.js’s integrated Hugo³ – to Kitten⁴. In the process, I’m creating an admin panel⁵ for the news, events, and videos sections, which will make them easier to update, and storing the data in Kitten’s internal JavaScript Database⁶.)

⁵ It’s trivial to create authenticated routes in Kitten. You just add a lock emoji () to the end of your route’s name. e.g., admin.page.js or /admin/index.page.js (see https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#sessions-and-authentication).

I’m in the process of rewriting our sites that use Site.js¹, which has been deprecated for some time now, in Kitten².

In any of your sites use Site.js, I’d highly recommend doing the same thing. This is also a heads up for anyone who uses Site.js to install and run their own Owncast server³.

Site.js will be retired and the web site will start forwarding to Kitten’s at the end of April, 2025.

In May, automatic TLS certificate renewals for existing sites will start to fail.

(Kitten is the spritual successor to Site.js. Or think of Site.js as my first attempt at a Small Web server. I learned a lot while making it and a lot of the components I built for Site.js – like Auto Encrypt⁴, etc. – live on in Kitten.)

³ CC @gabek, @owncast: If Site.js is still listed as a way of installing Owncast, now would be a good time to remove that and to relay this to folks in the Owncast community :)

So I guess Let’s Encrypt has decided what I’ll be working on today then…

https://letsencrypt.org/2024/12/05/ending-ocsp/

(They’re ending OCSP stapling support. I’ll be updating Auto Encrypt¹ to remove OCSP support and then update @small-tech/https, which uses it, along with Auto Encrypt Localhost² to provide seamless TLS support regardless of whether you’re working in development or in production, and then update Site.js³ – deprecated but still used to serve some of our own sites at Small Technology Foundation⁴ – and Kitten⁵, with the latest @small-tech/https.)

Just made a macOS bug-fix release for Site.js¹ and also deprecated it as I’ll no longer be maintaining it. (We’ll be porting our own sites to Kitten².)

Site.js was the first iteration of a Small Web server and I learned a whole lot by building it. It is also where many of the components in Kitten originated (auto TLS, the JSDB database, etc.)

I’ll keep the site up for the foreseeable future for the historic record.

Found Site.js a small personal web tool for #Linux, #macOS, and #Windows10. #siteJS

Why is this diferent from running a static #Emacs powered website on a local server? I've been doing this for more than 20 years.

Site.js 17.8.0 released.

- Updates the version of Owncast installed with site enable --owncast to the latest (0.0.12)

https://sitejs.org

Really love how our Owncast site is looking (if I do say so myself) :)

Also, remember that you can set up Owncast on a VPS with the following Site.js command:

site enable --owncast

That’s it.

It’ll be up and running with automatic TSL certificates and everything. You just need to sign into the admin, change your password/stream key and maybe take a few moments to customise your site info :)

Site.js version 17.7.1 released

This is a patch release that fixes a bug with Site.js’s HTTP Proxy server which meant that Owncast’s federation features were not working when installed through Site.js

https://sitejs.org

Site.js version 17.7.0 released

Updates the version of Owncast installed to 0.0.11 (this is the version that has fediverse features).

To setup and run your own Owncast server:

1. Install Site.js on a VPS (this is one terminal command)

2. Run: `site enable --owncast`

3. There is no three. You now have a server with auto-configured TLS running Owncast. Stream away! :)

Site.js version 17.6.0 released

This updates the automatic Let’s Encrypt (LE) functionality to ensure that certificates can continue to be provisioned and renewed past the breaking change LE will implement on September 15, 2022.

https://sitejs.org

(Site.js is a small web server that we use to run all our own sites at Small Technology Foundation and personally.)

I’ve just updated Site.js to 17.5.0.

Update: Installs latest @owncast (version 0.0.10)

https://sitejs.org

"Have" to make two websites this year that are mostly one pagers. Going to use #sitejs for it. Setting up a localhost was the fastest i have ever done it. No assumptions as well.

Site.js version 17.4.0 released

- Improved statistics view

- Security: If you use cryptographically-secure random path fragments, these are now masked in statistics so they are not leaked if you choose to make your statistics public

- Security: improved documentation on securing your admin routes if you use this method (https://github.com/small-tech/site.js/blob/master/README.md#creating-an-admin-page)

https://sitejs.org

Site.js version 17.3.3 released

This is a critical security fix for a major vulnerability where knowing the exact URL to a file in a dotfile directory within the site (e.g., the default .db JSDB database directory) would result in file download.

If you’re running Site.js in production, your servers will auto-update within the next six hours. Or you can manually update them now by running:

site update

Site.js version 17.3.2 released

Fixed: Upgrades JSDB to version 1.2.1, fixing corruption issues with edge-case object keys

(Site.js is a Small Web construction set. Learn more at https://sitejs.org)

Hmm, if you have an elementary OS app and you type task/website, shouldn’t you get a simple one-page web site for your app generated from your app’s metadata with localised text, screenshots, etc., that you can run/host with Site.js?

Hmm…

vachement cool ce #sitejs et #owncast
#smallweb

Site.js version 17.3.1 released

Updates Owncast to latest 0.0.8 release for the one-line Owncast production machine setup command:

site enable --owncast
