This page describes the digital craftsmanship and technical infrastructure running behind klein.ruhr.

Philosophy & Performance

• Indieweb & 512kb Club: Built on IndieWeb principles, this website is strictly optimized to be lightweight, resource-efficient, and incredibly fast. It intentionally avoids bloated JavaScript frameworks and tracking scripts.
• Privacy First: No cookies are set, and no personal data is ever transmitted to third-party corporations.

Software & Code

• Engine: The site is powered by the minimalist, flat-file CMS Pure Blog.
• Comments: Feedback and interactions are managed locally via the privacy-friendly Pure Comments plugin.
• Design: The stylesheet is based on the clean default theme of Pure Blog, enhanced with custom CSS adjustments (custom.css).

Hosting & Infrastructure

• Platform: The entire site is fully self-hosted within my own infrastructure in the Ruhr area, Germany.
• Environment: The web server operates inside an isolated Docker/LXC environment on a local Proxmox cluster.
• Security: Routing and protection are handled via a dedicated reverse proxy with automated SSL encryption.

Community & Support

• Proud Contributor: I happily support the independent development of Pure Blog via GitHub Sponsors. If you love lightweight, flat-file web tools, consider supporting open-source creators.
• Pure Blogroll: This site is also officially listed in the global Pure Blog directory - connecting independent corners of the web.
