SERVER: This website runs on an Olimex A20 computer. It has 2 Ghz of processing power, 1 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of storage. The server draws 1 - 2.5 watts of power.
SERVER SOFTWARE: The webserver runs Armbian Stretch, a Debian based operating system built around the SUNXI kernel. We wrote technical documentation for configuring the webserver. [comfy’s note: worth checking out]
DESIGN SOFTWARE:
The website is built with Pelican, a static site generator.[comfy note: Teppichbrand replied confirming they now use Hugo]
I also like the dithering aesthetic with the site images, both practical and stylistic.
They use Hugo since 2023.
I would love this to become a thing. Like a race to the bottom, how much information can you cramp into 2 watts and make it as stylish as possible. Take pride in a minimalist webpage.
Good to hear. I was very very slightly disappointed when I read Pelican was a Python tool. I’m also a Hugo user.
Last week I was thinking of making a meme pointing out how all the famously ultra-minimalist http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ and its many rebuttals are really put to shame by this one. Also, you’ve reminded me of some of those little webring banners people would put on their site bragging about being minimal, which are fun.
