This is my personal site, built with vanilla TypeScript on top of Deno.serve
and deployed to Deno Deploy. It's mostly just pictures of daily life with some
comments. Actually it's a lot of pictures. See below for more on the technical
challenges that presents.
local dev:
deno task dev
adding content
To generate posts, add images to static/image/raw in the form of
yyyy-mm-dd-name and then run:
deno task makePosts
This will make a new post from images for any day that does not already have a post. Images are automatically added to the new posts grouped by day.
deno task resizePictures
This will resize images for small and large use on the web. It also shards the images randomly across four git sub-repositories...so each stays well below deno deploy's 1GB static file size limit. Image repos are not open source. But, they contain just the images and a github action one liner to serve the files on deno deploy like so:
...
- name: Upload to Deno Deploy
uses: denoland/deployctl@v1
with:
project: "jacobheric-pine"
entrypoint: "https://jsr.io/@std/http/0.224.5/file_server.ts"
root: "."
Commit and deploy:
deno task build
./supercommit.sh "august 2024"
This issues a commit against the main repository and all sub-repositories. Then:
git push --recurse-submodules=on-demand
data
Posts are authored as markdown files with YAML frontmatter in posts/.
deno task loadPosts compiles them into lib/db/posts.json for fast runtime
reads. I built a version that uses deno's kv store but I blew the read/write
limits way too quickly. That version is here:
