The Deep Dive introduces Surfer, a user-friendly application designed to help users easily host static websites, such as portfolios or landing pages. It simplifies the process of uploading files, allowing users to choose between a web interface for drag-and-drop uploads, a command line interface for tech-savvy individuals, or WebDAV and SFTP for more advanced file management. Surfer primarily serves static files like HTML and images, delivering them directly to visitors’ browsers without complex server-side processing. Users can control which file is displayed by default, typically “index.html,” and customize error pages with a personal “404.html.” Privacy options include public access, password protection, or user-restricted access for specific groups. Additionally, Surfer supports CI/CD integration for automated updates, making it easier for developers to maintain their websites. The central control panel for managing settings and uploads is located at a specific admin address. For further assistance, users can access community resources and documentation. Overall, Surfer is positioned as an accessible tool for individuals looking to share static content online.
