The source repository for my personal homepage at https://ftsell.de. This homepage is my personal corner of the internet with which I like to play around and showcase my stuff. It also includes a little blog on which I occasionally post stuff.
The homepage has gone through many iterations, starting of at plain HTML + CSS, then going to Vue.js, Nuxt.js, plain HTML again but this time with some fancy vite tooling around it and has by now evolved into a FastAPI application. The reason is that FastAPI gives me the power to implement exactly what I want while not being unnecessarily complex.
The repository contains a Pipfile defining all python dependencies which can be used with Pipenv to create a
python virtual environment in which all dependencies are installed.
Afterward, the web server can be started by running hypercorn --reload homepage.main:app while being inside the src/ directory
or having otherwise made it available in pythons import path.
This website serves mostly static content and requires basically no configuration. What little configuration is available is done via environment variables.
The following variables are available:
DEV_MODEa boolean indicating whether debug mode is enabled. In this mode, caching is disabled.
