Markdown-first Astro site deployed on an Ubuntu VPS with Docker Compose, Nginx, Caddy HTTPS, RSS, sitemap, and public evidence pages.

Status: Live public identity site
Repository Live siteSource repo

This site is part of the public identity work, but it is also a small deployment artifact.

It is a Markdown-first Astro site with content collections for writing, projects, and evidence packets. The production deployment runs on an Ubuntu VPS from a GitHub clone at /srv/mouadh.org.

Production Shape

  • Astro static build.
  • Nginx container serving generated files.
  • Caddy container handling HTTP, HTTPS, and Let’s Encrypt certificates.
  • Docker Compose as the deployment contract.
  • RSS and sitemap enabled for long-term publishing.

What This Proves

This is not a portfolio mockup hosted only in a local dev server. It is a live public site with a reproducible deployment path:

git pull
docker compose up -d --build

That matters because the site is meant to become a durable public archive for technical notes, project evidence, and research-safe updates.

Current Role

The site should stay focused. It should not become a generic personal-brand page. The useful role is:

  • explain the current technical direction;
  • link to flagship repositories;
  • publish serious notes tied to code and evidence;
  • preserve public/private boundaries around research and product work.
