+# Website
+
+I decided I hate WordPress, so here is the source for a site that uses Zola. It has a custom Docker image based on Alpine Linux which serves using nginx and has the Zola binary (zola serve sucks). Don't worry, I took WordPress off my resume.
+
+## Overview
+
+This is a static site built with [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/), a fast static site generator written in Rust. The site is containerized using Docker with a multi-stage build that compiles the site and serves it through nginx.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Zola** - Static site generator
+- **Alpine Linux** - Lightweight container base
+- **nginx** - Web server
+- **Docker** - Containerization
+- **Terminus theme** - Zola theme
+

+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker
+- Docker Compose
+- Git
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Run the build and deployment script:
+
+```bash
+./serve.sh
+```
+
+Or manually:
+
+```bash
+docker compose build
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The site will be available at `http://localhost:1313`
+
+## Docker Architecture
+
+The Dockerfile uses a multi-stage build:
+
+1. **Builder Stage**: Uses Alpine Linux with Zola to build the static site
+2. **Production Stage**: Uses nginx:alpine to serve the compiled site
+
+This approach keeps the final image lightweight by excluding build dependencies.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Port Mapping
+
+The container exposes port 80 internally, mapped to port 1313 on the host (see `docker-compose.yml:8`).
+
+### Network
+
+The container connects to an external Docker network called `cloudflared-net` for integration with Cloudflare tunnels. 
+If you will not be using Cloudflare Tunnels via Docker please delete the references to it in `docker-compose.yml` before running `./serve.sh` or you will get an error. 
+
+Alternatively, create dummy network by running:
+
+```bash
+docker network create --driver=bridge cloudflared-net
+```
+
+### Site Configuration
+
+Edit `src/config.toml` to customize:
+- Base URL
+- Site title and author
+- Menu items
+- Theme settings
+
+## Development
+
+To make changes:
+
+1. Edit content in `src/content/`
+2. Modify templates in `src/templates/`
+3. Update styles in `src/sass/`
+4. Rebuild and redeploy: `./serve.sh`
+
+## Why Not `zola serve`?
+
+The built-in `zola serve` command is great for development but not ideal for production. This setup uses nginx for:
+- Better performance
+- Production-grade serving
+- Easier integration with reverse proxies
+- In my experience `zola serve` can just be overall unreliable.
