Aether is a fully automated web server configured via **pure** and
|
|||
|
|
**declarative** package management, powered by [NixOS](https://nixos.org).
|
|||
|
|
This allows for all aspects of the server's operation, including config files,
|
|||
|
|
software dependencies, and site content to be deployed and provisioned
|
|||
|
|
automatically.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In short, it's my personal web server.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Deployment
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Aether is designed to separate deployment from the logical specification of the
|
|||
|
|
system, and thus to support any machine that can run NixOS. Currently, it is
|
|||
|
|
deployed physically to a
|
|||
|
|
[Raspberry Pi 5](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/Raspberry_Pi_5)
|
|||
|
|
running a [modified UEFI bootloader](https://github.com/worproject/rpi5-uefi)
|
|||
|
|
to provide Linux support.
