Hosting via GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages is a straightforward way to host your static site online. Follow these steps to deploy your archive:

Push Your Repository to GitHub

Make sure your repository is available on GitHub under your username. If you are starting fresh, run the following commands:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit of reddit-conspiracy-archive"
git remote add origin https://github.com/c0mmando/reddit-conspiracy-archive.git
git push -u origin main

Configure GitHub Pages
- Open your repository on GitHub.
- Go to Settings.
- Scroll down to the GitHub Pages section.
- Under Source, choose your branch (e.g., main) and select the folder (/ if your index.html is at the root).
- Click Save.
- GitHub Pages will provide you with a URL where your site is hosted (e.g., https://c0mmando.github.io/reddit-conspiracy-archive/).
Using a Custom Domain

If you want to use a custom domain:
- Create a file named CNAME (with no file extension) in the repository root.
- Add your custom domain (for example, www.example.com) on a single line.
- Commit and push the file:
```
git add CNAME
git commit -m "Add CNAME for custom domain"
git push
```
- Update your DNS settings to point your domain to GitHub Pages. More details can be found in GitHub’s custom domain guide.

Hosting via nginx

To host the archive on your own server with nginx, follow these steps:

Install nginx

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

On CentOS/RHEL:

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install nginx

Clone the Repository on Your Server

Clone the latest version into your desired web directory (e.g., /var/www/html):
```
cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/c0mmando/reddit-conspiracy-archive.git
```

Configure nginx

Create a new configuration file (e.g., /etc/nginx/sites-available/reddit-conspiracy-archive):

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain_or_ip;

    root /var/www/html/reddit-conspiracy-archive;
    index index.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

Replace your_domain_or_ip with your server’s domain name or IP address.

Enable the Configuration

Enable the site by creating a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/reddit-conspiracy-archive /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Restart nginx

Restart nginx to apply the changes:
```
sudo systemctl restart nginx
```
Access Your Site

Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_domain_or_ip to view the archive.

Offline Viewing Instructions

To view the archive offline without a web server, you have two options:

1. File Explorer

Navigate to the repository folder where you have cloned or downloaded the files.
Open index.html with your preferred web browser.

2. Using a Local HTTP Server

For a more seamless offline navigation, you can use Python’s built-in server:

For Python 3:

cd /path/to/reddit-conspiracy-archive
python3 -m http.server 8000

For Python 2:

cd /path/to/reddit-conspiracy-archive
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

Then open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000/.

Additional Notes

Ensure that the file permissions allow web servers like nginx (or your local HTTP server) to read the archive files.
Any hard-coded SEO tags and meta elements within the HTML files should be reviewed and updated if you decide to mirror or rehost the archive.
Changes on GitHub Pages might require a short time to take effect.
Before hosting the archive publicly, please review any legal or privacy concerns related to its content.
