=====

This is my homepage, rewritten from the ground up in lwan so it is entirely in C.

Right now, it is nothing flashy (very similar to the Haskell version); project pages (and perhaps a few other treats) are planned for the near future.

The Stack

---------

* `lwan `_ - used as a library to build the webserver and page logic

* `hitch `_ - TLS-terminating proxy server

* `uacme `_ - an ACME-protocol client for TLS Cert renewal

All running on Arch Linux using `nftables `_ for traffic redirection and forwarding

Traffic Redirection and Forwarding

----------------------------------

lwan does not officially support running on an externally-visible port, and it remains the author's express suggestion to not do so.

To bypass this limitation, we leverage hitch to redirect traffic from ``443`` to ``8443`` (where the contentful instance of lwan is running) and back.

Furthermore, to forcibly redirect HTTP to HTTPS, we use nftables to redirect traffic from ``80`` to ``8080``.

Then, a very small instance of lwan is running on port ``8080`` that does nothing but respond to ACME challenge requests and redirect all other traffic to ``https://halosgho.st``.

Design Characteristics
