Internals

How sitehoster works inside. None of this is needed to run a site, it is here so you can see the whole picture, and so the design has one place to live.

Topics

Client →

Every file the client is built from, the one command you run and the shared toolkit behind it, with their exports and switches.

Server →

The pieces running on the server, Caddy out front and a localhost-only API behind it.

Automation →

The engine that reads the on-page markers and rewrites shared blocks, navigation and data.

Synchronisation →

How the client compares two metadata trees and pushes only the files that differ.

Security →

One public listener, one secret, and a surface kept as small as it can be.

Tools →

The local views built from the mirrored access logs, server stats and automation runs.
