It’s rare that a blog has 0 images. Hosting them on the same box as the blog instance is the easiest solution, but it comes at a cost: disk space and page load speed. Unless you are a professional blogger, you are also not ready shell out many $$ for a CDN, so what options are there?
Two weeks ago my blog was hosted on a 10$/mo vps instance in DigitalOcean, powered by a couple docker containers, running an ever dynamic Wordpress platform. Now it’s completely static, served from GitHub Pages servers free. What follows is a small experience reco/guide on how to make this happen.
