# pages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`pages` provides web application / static site hosting with built-in support for simple analytics via [Prometheus][] and
|
||
|
|
[Grafana][].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Prometheus]: https://prometheus.io
|
||
|
|
[Grafana]: https://grafana.com

**Motivation**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As I work to reduce the number of Google services from my life, I found myself wanting a simpler alternative to my
|
||
|
|
current hosting solution. Right now, my hosting is provided by GitHub pages and my analytics is provided by Google (as
|
||
|
|
one did in th 2010s). But as we start to enforce more privacy rights through systems like GDPR, I find myself wanting a
|
||
|
|
simpler solution that doesn't require cookie disclosures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Quickstart with Docker
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The easiest way to get started is with Docker. Your web content will be exposed on port `8080` while [metrics](#metrics)
|
||
|
|
will be available on `8081`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
docker run --rm -it \
|
||
|
|
-e PAGES_GIT_URL=<your repo> \
|
||
|
|
-e PAGES_GIT_BRANCH=gh-pages \
|
||
|
|
-p 8080:8080 \
|
||
|
|
-p 8081:8081 \
|
||
|
|
img.pitz.tech/mya/pages
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Syncing the git repository**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can instruct the server to reload the Git branch by curling this `/_admin/sync` endpoint.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/_admin/sync
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This endpoint is exposed publicly so your CI solution can issue the command to cause the servers to update.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Metrics
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All metrics are prefixed with the `pages` namespace. This makes it easy to narrow down to the specific metrics for the
|
||
|
|
system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### pages_page_view_count
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
# HELP pages_page_view_count page views
|
||
|
|
# TYPE pages_page_view_count counter
|
||
|
|
pages_page_view_count{country="",path="/charts/",referrer="http://localhost:8080/blog/"} 1
|
||
|
|
```
