<div class="">Hi Steve,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for importing it! I was just about to ask...</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">An alternative to hosting a web server with a docker image is to use Github Pages. The site is essentially static, and shouldn't need us to maintain a web server. This would remove any dependence on CCT infrastructure apart from the domain name,
and remove any associated maintenance.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I've made a proof-of-principle attempt at this.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- Created a gh-pages branch in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/EinsteinToolkit/cactuscode">https://github.com/EinsteinToolkit/cactuscode</a> on which to do my testing</div>
<div class="">- Wrote a script to convert the PHP files to markdown; could have kept HTML but I prefer markdown as it enforces separation of the content from the presentation and is easier to edit</div>
<div class="">- Ran the script on the current PHP files</div>
<div class="">- Converted the site to use jekyll for the headers, footers, includes, etc</div>
<div class="">- The site is available at <a href="https://einsteintoolkit.github.io/cactuscode.org/" class="">https://einsteintoolkit.github.io/cactuscode.org/</a>, but there are lots of assumptions in the files that it is served from "/", whereas here it is
served from /<a href="http://cactuscode.org" class="">cactuscode.org</a>.</div>
<div class="">- To fix this, rather than editing all the URLs in the site, I've instead pointed my own domain to it.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You can see the result at <a href="http://cactuscode.ianhinder.net" class="">http://cactuscode.ianhinder.net</a> (https will start working in up to 24 hours, apparently). If we want to go ahead with this method, and if you have access to the
<a href="http://cactuscode.org" class="">cactuscode.org</a> domain, maybe you could create a CNAME record pointing</div>

<div class="">so we don't have to use my domain?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The automated conversion from PHP to markdown wasn't perfect; we will need to tidy it up a bit. But the idea now is that you can edit the markdown files, push to the repository, and they will automatically appear on the site. You can also preview
it locally,</div>

<div class="">If this sounds like a good way to go forward, we can start working through the files and fixing up the php to markdown conversion, deleting old content, etc.</div>
