Website

• Running on nginx in Docker
• Behind Caddy as a reverse proxy
• Written in markdown, then converted to HTML using pandoc.
  • Script for this here
• Syntax highlighting using prism.js
• In a git repo

Docker registry

• Currently just redirecting to Docker Hub, using the Caddy config from here (direct link to Caddyfile)
• I'll probably set up a proper self-hosted registry later, but I haven't gotten to it yet. And I've only got 2.5 MBps up, so that can probably wait until Docker does something dumb.
