so what is this?

local pages is meant to be a locally hosted, development server. so instead of you pushing to github pages, you can push to a testing branch and set up this container so you can test your website. it is meant to prevent you from going over the github pages monthly limit.

this is a containerised service, i did not write the web server backend.
it uses nginx as the webserver, and i wrote the helper scripts.
it can easily be deployed in a cluster as a compose service and also supports private repositories!
