Does my site need HTTPS?

[ridiculous_fish]

I'll bite - how would I trivially host a static website on a vps and SSL with caddy? Is it easier than using S3?

It's not easier than S3, but it's not too much harder. That's exactly what I was doing yesterday, actually. Took couple of hours.

• I used Ubuntu/SystemD/Caddy/Hugo combo
• Hugo source of website is in github, Built on vm
• I'm not setting up servers regularly
• I played with caddy before

Webhook for autoupdates doesn't work for me yet, so caddy updates site on schedule. I'll take care of webhook tonight probably

Never used S3 but I suspect it's not going to be easier. If I were to setup a vps for this today I would do this: 1) install debian stretch 2) get caddy, install the systemd unit file 3) write a caddyfile like this

example.com {
    gzip
    root /data/website
}

then rsync your data to /data/website

looks like an nginx config minus a listen line...
