staticland

Publish static sites with this command-line tool & API client for static.land

About

The staticland command-line tool is used to publish static sites to static.land and self-hosted instances of staticland-api.

Features

• One command to deploy a site.
• Automatic SSL using Let's Encrypt.
• Use any static site generator.
• Open source & MIT-licensed. Host it yourself to use it how you want.

Limitations

• DNS records must be set up and propogated before deploying a site for the first time.
• Setting aliases or redirects is not currently supported.

Deploying sites

Set up a staticland API server or use https://static.land.

Create an account on static.land:

staticland register

Use --server yourstaticlandserver.com to use a custom server.

Ensure that your domain's DNS settings are pointing at 52.39.104.182 (or the IP address of your custom server) before deploying:

host static.land
static.land has address 52.39.104.182

Setting the DNS before deploying is required for Let's Encrypt to successfully provision a certificate.

Deploy a site with auto-SSL:

staticland path/to/site/ example.com

The above command is a shorthand version of the deploy command, and works the same as this example:

staticland deploy path/to/site/ example.com

Install

npm i -g staticland

staticland requires Node.js and npm. Install Node.js if you haven't already.
