Cloudflare Pages

Cloudflare Pages is where Emet is designed to be deployed. The repository’s functions/ directory is a set of Pages Functions, so the OAuth token exchange that sign-in depends on gets deployed alongside the static files without any extra setup. Hosting is free at the scale a CMS runs at, and you get HTTPS and a *.pages.dev hostname out of the box.

There are two ways to get the build onto Pages: push it yourself with wrangler, or connect the repository and let Cloudflare build it on every push. The first is quicker to try; the second is nicer to live with.

You can serve Emet’s dist/ directory from Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, nginx or anywhere else that serves files. The static part is genuinely that simple. What those platforms don’t run is the OAuth token exchange in functions/, and without it nobody can sign in. So this page is mostly about that one endpoint, and only briefly about the hosting.

If you haven’t read Deployment for why the endpoint exists, do that first.
