Trifold is a tool to quickly and cheaply host static websites using a CDN

Summary

trifold trifold is a tool to serve static websites using a content delivery network (CDN). Source: https://codeberg.org/jpt/trifold/ This allows painless deployment of sites consisting entirely of static assets (HTML, CSS, JS, images) for pennies a month. It is the perfect companion to deploy sites built with static-site generators like Hugo, Zola, Quarto, or zensical. The tool provides a simple CLI that allows: initializing new projects without touching the CDN web interface syncing local HTML/CSS/JS/etc. to the CDN & clearing the cache configuring a custom domain name to point at your files, with SSL enabled setting a maximum monthly cost to avoid surprise bills using CDN edge functions to support redirects This project grew out of frustration with services making their free tier less friendly to indie devs and students that just need a cheap & reliable place they can host things. trifold offers an easy alternative to services like Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, and GitHub pages. Instead of relying on a free service it is hopefully going to be more stable to rely on a paid service with a reasonable price point and the ability to set billing limits. Installation If you have uv installed, you can run uvx trifold without a separate installation step. This is the recommended method, uvx is a built-in alias for uv tool run. (See https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/#running-tools if you're curious to learn more.) To upgrade: uv tool upgrade trifold You can also use any Python package manager you prefer, pip, pipx, poetry, etc. to install in your preferred manner. bunny.net & pricing At the moment bunny.net is the only supported provider, but others can be added. bunny.net is a professional-grade CDN that is also very affordable. Like most hosts, they charge for both storage & bandwidth. Both starts at $0.01/GB/mo. The typical static webpage is under 1GB, meaning storage costs will be negligible unless you decide to host audio/video. And if you do, the rates are far cheap...
