+So I've recently just moved this site away from github to my own VPS, as well as
+all my git repos.
+
+For those of you that are new, you'll notice that this site is entirely static
+and all the pages are basically glorified text files. THat's the point, Text is
+main content of this site and I don't want to serve bloated multi-megabyte files
+just to deliver that. The fanciest thing I have on this site is a custom font
+for Iokalant.
+
+If you want to put a name to this style, call it web brutalist.
+
+The way the site works now is this:
+
+-I setup a bare git repo on my VPS containing the hairydiode git repo
+-In the post-receive hook of the repo it checks out the repository to
+ /var/www/html
+-Apache2 is setup to serve those files
+-The 'rewrite' module allowing me to remove the .html extensions from files, cgit
+ allows me to show my git repos in a web interface and I get my ssl certificates
+ from Let's Encrypt, whose certbot takes care of setting up https on the apache
+ server.
+
+
+It's a standard setup and if you want to read about it else where see the guide
+from Digital Ocean on Git Deployment, and Setting Up Apache. Also This Guide
+for setting up a git server.
+
+Some Caveats:
+-If you're cloning a repository from somewhere else make sure:
+  --That the repository is chowned to the user 'git'
+  --Make sure the repository is bare. To do this, simply replace the folder
+containing the repo with the .git folder beneath it, then type:
+
+$ git config --bool core.bare true
+
+  to tell git that the repo is now bare.
+
+-Make sure that the 'git' user has permisions to the deploy repository
+
+-When enabling cgit, make sure to enable cgi with:
+
+$ a2enmod cgi
+
+-When making any change to apache2, make sure to restart it with:
+
+$ systemctl restart apache2
+
+
+ + -- cgit v1.1
