novassite.net #

The silliest site on the web* #

novassite has been my primary project since december 1st 2021, this site has been my method of learning many different ways of doing code.

this current revision is written in astrojs and uses expressjs as the backend

this site is designed to be hosted myself and also acts as a discord bot in order to grab my discord presence

this project does not work off of releases, the current commit is the current version that should be expected to be public.

this is also a personal passion project so do not expect the code to be nice and commented.

Official Mirrors #

all mirrors have git lfs issues, i dont know how to fix it besides just manually pushing every once and awhile 😦

• Novas EVIL GIT MASTER
• git.gay Updates With Master
• gitlab 1 week sync time
• gitea 1 week sync time
• codeberg 1 week sync time
• tangled Manual Sync No LFS

these are the official mirrors of novassite. i have my own forgejo instance which serves as the master

if anything is done outside the master it will be entirely ignored

these mirrors only exist to make sure the sites source is always avalible and to make sure its easy to switch if needed.

Older Repo #

• Novas EVIL GIT
• gitlab

a few commits ago i chose to move all assets to GIT LFS, this process was obviously very destructive and killed alot of the history i had built up for these assets

so i totally on purpose chose to keep the old gitlab edition up as i re synced the git-lfs version back everywhere (dont think about why its only gitlab shut up.)

How to run #

Command	What it does
pnpm run build	builds astro page
pnpm run dev	astro dev mode (no server functions)
pnpm run netlify dev	netlify dev mode (netlify server functions only)
node server.js	run the server with node (must build pages first)

this is where all the api keys and other config goes
