If your content is static anyway, you can just rsync to deploy instead of push to deploy:

    rsync -e "ssh -p $(SSH_PORT)" -P -rvzc --cvs-exclude --delete $(LOCAL_CONTENT) $(SSH_USER)@$(SSH_HOST):$(REMOTE_DIR)

Self-hosting then essentially just means doing apt install nginx once.

That would expose .git, unless other nginx config masked it. cvs-exclude is for cvs, right?

It was for cvs, because rsync is old, but nowadays also filters out .git, .svn, .hg etc.

In any case this is supposed to only sync the rendered content from $(LOCAL_CONTENT), not the templates used for rendering.

You think they'd change the name to vcs-exclude, then.

Backwards compatibility.

Can retain that and add a vcs-exclude, right?
