LXC container dedicated to hosting static HTML pages.

# LXC container

See the [static-pages section in the infrastructure documentation](../infrastructure/).

# SSL on the LXC host

Each domain has a `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/f3.forgefriends.forgejo.org` file similar to the following
on the host where the LXC container resides.

```nginx
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name f3.forgefriends.forgejo.org;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://10.6.83.106:80;
    }
}
```

Obtain the certificate:

```sh
sudo certbot -n --agree-tos --email contact@forgejo.org -d f3.forgefriends.forgejo.org --nginx
```

# Creation in the LXC container

With the example of `f3.forgefriends.forgejo.org` and
`f3.forgefriends.org` serving the same content.
