[ANN] Sourcehut pages: Gemini capsule hosting

Drew DeVault <sir (a) cmpwn.com>

Hello! We launched a static site hosting service for the web yesterday
called sourcehut pages, and today I updated it to add support for Gemini
as well. All sourcehut users are given a subdomain of srht.site (e.g.
sircmpwn.srht.site) that they can publish a capsule at, and we provide
hosting for anyone who wants to bring their own domain along as well.

You can find the details here:

gemini://srht.site

Enjoy!

That is a huge offer, and can only benefit the Gemini community.  Thank you
very much for extending it to us.

Amazing!! I might give this a look, though I'm happy with my VPS right 
now.

If it ever offers something more than a VPS, like a CDN, I might switch 
my static hosting over. Maybe.

But for others, this could really help reduce dependence on proprietary 
services like GitHub Pages or Netlify.

Tried it out. Apart from me being utterly uneducated about using
builds.sr.ht and needing more than one attempt, it works!

Definitely!
Thank you for providing this service!

You might want to add "--exclude .git"
to the example manifest given here
gemini://srht.site/automating-deployments.gmi

 ```
image: alpine/latest
oauth: pages.sr.ht/PAGES:RW
environment:
  site: your-username.srht.site
tasks:
- package: |
    cd $site
    tar -cvz --exclude .git . > ../site.tar.gz
- upload: |
    acurl -f https://pages.sr.ht/publish/$site \
        -Fcontent=@site.tar.gz \
        -Fprotocol=GEMINI
 ```

Cheers,
~ew
