# Static pages

A service similar to GitHub pages, but only for custom domains.

To use the service, you publish a TXT DNS record like "pages=$signing_public_key" to the domain that you want to use the service with. signing_public_key is a public key such as the ones used by Minisign.

Publishing is then:

* Create an archive of the site contents.
* Sign the archive.
* Upload the archive and the signature to a URL like https://staticpages/your.domain.here

A command-line tool could automate all the steps.

## Advantages

No accounts, do not even need to keep credentials (you can always push a new signing key to DNS).

## Other possibilities

### Gemini support with Apache MultiViews
