pageboy

(practical name)

Unlike its sister repositories, this one isn't named for a single Shakespeare character. It's named for a recurring role. A page (or "page boy") was a young attendant in noble service. Shakespeare uses the type repeatedly, as a minor but useful figure: Falstaff's page Robin, in Henry IV, Part 2 and The Merry Wives of Windsor; Imogen disguised as the page "Fidele" in Cymbeline; Julia disguised as the page "Sebastian" in The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Overview

A minimal static-file HTTPS server, written in Go, that runs under a regular user account on a Fedora machine on a home network (reachable at a .home.arpa hostname, e.g. nuc1.home.arpa). No build pipeline, no CMS, no dynamic routes. It serves whatever is placed in public/, including kinglear's generated retirement-scenarios reports (pushed from kinglear via scripts/deploy-docs-to-pageboy.sh over SSH, since kinglear and pageboy run on different hosts).

Version: 1.2.1

Technology: Go

Dependencies

None. pageboy is a standalone Go module with no sibling dependencies (it serves kinglear's output, but doesn't depend on it to build).
