This is my personal website and blog. It's a static site built with Zola and hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
See the Colophon for more information about the technical decision that went into building this site.
I self-host a Matrix homeserver
(conduwuit) at lark.gay. Supporting both
this site and the homeserver on the same domain requires some special
configuration, which is worth documenting here.
This site serves static JSON files at the following endpoints:
/.well-known/matrix/server/.well-known/matrix/client
These are JSON files used to configure delegation, a feature of Matrix that
allows for the federation API endpoint to be served at a different domain and/or
port than the public-facing server domain. This means that my Matrix username
(@lark:lark.gay) case use the base domain, even though the homeserver is
hosted at matrix.lark.gay.
For delegation to work, it is also necessary to reverse-proxy traffic to the following endpoints:
/_matrix/*/_conduwuit/*
We accomplish this using a Cloudflare Pages Function, which sits in front of the CDN.
