I tried to make the build and release process as simple as possible without writing any software.

1. GitHub Actions picks up changes which...

2. Builds a two stage Docker container. First stage builds the site, second copies the result into nginx:alpine-slim with a cut down config.

3. Watchtower cycles every 30 seconds on a VM on the basement server. When it sees a new version it pulls and recreates the container.

4. Nginx running in @flydotio connects to the container via @tailscale

@zrail Watchtower has boringly just worked for me for this, too. I set mine to 2 minutes because I'm running a dozen+ websites being polled.

I like your idea about using fly to proxy in. I have used Tailscale's funnels for a few projects, mostly to allow GitHub to access it. I should probably re-think that.
