Recently, Cloudflare made their Tunnel service (formerly Argo Tunnel) free and available for all Cloudflare users. For an existing free-tier user like myself, there’s no better time to try it out!

Update:
I’ve brought this disappearing post back from the abyss, enjoy!
That’s right, there’s self-destructing blog posts now
I’ve been toying with the idea of writing expiring blog posts for a while now, ever since discovering the expiryDate variable in Hugo.
Being able to have temporary posts that get cleaned up after a period of time seems like an interesting challenge and a nice convenience. For example, if I want to blog a short-term update that gets taken down once it’s no longer relevant.
While this is easy in a dynamic site (currentDate > expiryDate), it’s something that static sites struggle with. If a site’s content changes over time, a static site must be updated with each change. I know I’m certainly not going to remember to redeploy my site weeks after publishing a temporary post!
With scheduled builds and a little extra configuration though, I’ve managed to automate my troubles away!
My setup for building and deploying a personal website

Personal websites! Everyone wants to have one, but nobody wants to go through the bother of maintaining, updating them, and fixing them. I thought I’d go through my personal setup, and show how I build and deploy my own site.
