What are you trying to do? You compiled your app with shadow-cljs release app? There should be a single JS file somewhere now that you can include in your HTML

Right, that did it! Now what's the go-to way of serving these files to the web from my local machine?

Long term? Apache HTTPD or NGINX or something like that. Depending on your needs.

@U0552GV2X32 If you want to let your friends browse those files while they are hosted by your computer, you can use https://ngrok.io

You pretty much drop the html, css, images, and app.js into a folder and let the server serve them up.

npx http-server is a quick way to boot up a file server from whichever directory its run in

Ehh but yeah that won't be accessible publicly on the web, only your machine

Apache rang a bell, and i got it up and running. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction 🙂

@U0552GV2X32 i recommend https://piku.github.io for deploying simple static sites on your own VPS.

Or just use github pages, netlify, vercel, etc. No server needed here.

I don't have a VPS at the moment, but github pages might actually be something for pure client-side projects

Isn't that what you have here? A bunch of static content?

That's what i meant to imply, it would work for this use case

Returning to this topic, would i commit the compiled javascript to the git repository alongside the clojurescript if using github pages? (haven't used github pages before, nor made a website really)

You can if you want, but you'd probably be better served having a github action take care of the compiling and deployment. https://github.com/marketplace/actions/deploy-to-github-pages If you want a more copy-able example, https://github.com/elken/aoc/blob/master/.github/workflows/deploy.yml (you can remove the steps that aren't needed here like setting up java etc)

That seems much more reasonable yes

..which steps are needed? 😅

They're well-named 😄 probably just the first and last with an extra step to install node & run npx shadow-cljs release app

I'm sure they're well named to someone who knows what the heck they're doing ^^

clerk & yarn tell me nothing. Cache, sure, but what does it do in this context? And are the DeLaGuardo and JamesIves links generic scripts or something repo-specific?

As I said, probably just the first and last 🙂

All right thanks, i'll have a go at it later tonight 🙂

Is this key > ssh-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_KEY }} < supplied by the git push?

Not needed for you 🙂

I thought that was the first step? Now i'm getting lost again 😅

The line is not needed for you
