Ewan's Web Corner

Welcome to the repository for Ewan's Web Corner, my personal website. This site is where I share my thoughts on coding, technology, and various aspects of my life.

Site Overview

The site is built using atproto technology, and the structure is optimised to display posts, profile information, and various content in a user-friendly way. It's also designed to be easy to navigate, with pages like About and Verification accessible directly from the sidebar.

It is based on the fantastic work by fei.chicory.blue, just with my own tweaks.

Features

• Customisable Layout: The page layout features a left sidebar with profile info, navigation links, and pagination. The right column is dedicated to displaying posts.
• Posts: The site supports multiple post types, including text posts, image posts, and embedded content. Posts can be customised with rich media, such as images and embedded cards.
• Profile Information: The left sidebar includes a space for a profile picture, username, description, and external links.
• Mobile Optimisation: The site is optimised for mobile browsing, with a responsive design that adjusts to different screen sizes.

For more details on customisation, refer to the documentation on WhiteWind here.

Powered by atproto

The site is powered by the atproto platform, which enables decentralised content hosting. This allows you to integrate various platforms and manage your content seamlessly.

Running the Site with Docker

To run the site using Docker Compose, follow these steps:

1. Build and start the Docker container:

   docker compose up --build -d

This will build your Docker image and start the website inside a Docker container, making it accessible on port 3002.

Deploying with Cloudflare Tunnel

To deploy the site through a Cloudflare Tunnel, follow these steps:

On macOS

1. Install the Cloudflare Tunnel client (cloudflared):

   brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared

2. Authenticate cloudflared with your Cloudflare account:

   cloudflared login

3. Create a tunnel and give it a name:

   cloudflared tunnel create my-tunnel

4. Configure the tunnel to route traffic to your Docker container:

   cloudflared tunnel route dns my-tunnel mywebsite.example.com

5. Start the tunnel and route traffic to your local Docker container running on port 3002:

   cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3002 run my-tunnel

On Ubuntu Server

1. Install the Cloudflare Tunnel client (cloudflared):

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y wget
   wget -q https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i cloudflared-linux-amd64.deb

2. Authenticate cloudflared with your Cloudflare account:

   cloudflared login

3. Create a tunnel and give it a name:

   cloudflared tunnel create my-tunnel

4. Configure the tunnel to route traffic to your Docker container:

   cloudflared tunnel route dns my-tunnel mywebsite.example.com

5. Start the tunnel and route traffic to your local Docker container running on port 3002:

   cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3002 run my-tunnel
