The glory of static html blogs on pi

[lightnin]

Greetings! After spending a lot of time looking into hosting my own site on the pi, I came across the glory and simplicity of static html blog generators (Pelican, in my case). No need for a database, or any other CPU hogging services. Just an http server and some html to serve is all you need.

Here's an instructable I made that sums it all up:

Wordpress runs just fine, especially with a caching service

You should manage to do an "APC-Powered" PHP web. It works really well, at least in mine.

Currently i also have a web server with html coding only. For this purpose it's simply perfect, without loading times (almost).

If you are looking for an html-only web (html/css of course), the Raspberry is an awesome option, no doubt.

Well my problem is dat APC doesn't work with php 5.4 and FastCGI.
You should look at fuelphp. It uses APC caching if you use the caching from the framework.
