[Haskell-cafe] Best deployment method for Hakyll websites (with Stack)?

[Kyle Marek-Spartz]

Does the web server *need* to be able to compile the website? Building
and serving a static site are separate concerns.

I build my Hakyll sites locally (and just switched some of them to
stack), and deploy just the _site directory to a static content server.

I wrote my own tool to do this with Amazon S3, but you could probably
rsync or scp the files to a public directory on your CentOS web
server. That's what the Hakyll docs suggest:

My site.hs:

https://github.com/zeckalpha/kyle.marek-spartz.org/blob/master/site.hs#L247

The tool I wrote:

A comparable service that hosts static content:
