Around 2000, my university provided web hosting for students. This was static web hosting, of course. I wanted my website, and setting it up using HTML was too tedious. So I decided to create my website using PHP, run wget --mirror to scrape it, and upload it to the static web hosting service.

(I don't think that was a novel idea even back then.)

My current personal project is implemented with Django and I run with Kubernetes. This project scraps data and stores it in a PostgreSQL database.

@coder I created Django views to publish the scraped data. However, I did not want to expose this to the Internet.

So today, I set up a daily Kubernetes job that scrapes the website from the same cluster, and pushes it to GitHub Pages.

24 years later, I managed to top myself with an even more janky setup, by adding Kubernetes and GitHub Pages.
