Very cool. I want to hear more about how you would configure/convince Moveable Type (or WordPress) to put all the static files on s3. Maybe the various plugins that did this kind of caching will now start to explicitly support s3 as the backend hosting for the static html files.

WordPress? Which static HTML files?

werner3• 15 years ago

Actually you could run wordpress with WP Super Cache enabled to generate static files.

Moveable Type has support for multi-site deployment through rsync (see the MT docs on rsync target, etc). After that the job queue finished MT will call rsync to upload the files to remote locations.

Didn't take that much work to make it work with rs3sync instead (see http://rs3sync.net).

I was all excited by that link but I find that it does not exist. What did you actually mean?

I noticed the author is still using a web server on their own for commenting.... but with something like Disqus for commenting (applied to posts client side using js) and linking out to google for searching, you can completely eliminate the need for having a web server for hosting simple blog sites.

Absolutely. Next steps already defined :-)

I was hoping this would happen!
