I would like to share some of the software objects I have created like little python scripts, old logo programs, graphics and 3d models that others may find useful. I currently put the files on my google drive and share a link in forums. But it would be useful to have the files with more public exposure, where someone could find them with an internet search. Github seems like to obvious answer but seems like an overkill and may not be appropriate for some graphical or political content.
I was considering Linode with wordpress or my hacky html, as they used to sponsor may of the Linux content creators on YouTube and other social media, but that has changed since Linode changed ownership. Can anyone here recommend a cheap fedora friendly hosting site for my projects?
DokuWiki has light PHP dependencies but runs easily mostly anywhere (I’ve restored my instance since 2016 from openSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows, and FreeBSD, without Docker and basic nginx + PHP-CGI/FPM).
Hosting it can be easy from a $5 VPS (I did it with Vultr’s 1GB RAM 20GB SSD instance and Fedora/openSUSE Linux, ref), or in-house with a cheap RPi and SD card (I run it on the same computer as my NAS).
For a cheap(ish) self hosted option Digital Ocean has a $6-7 USD a month plan which can spin up Fedora. You can get a web hosting and domain name for $20-30 a year from many different providers.
But it doesn’t really matter where you host your code.
Adoption of code will always be based on the equation
“Usefulness of code X Exposure of code”
The usefulness is up to you. The exposure comes from either spamming as many places as you can think of, or it comes from being part of various communities.
The benefit of being a member of a programming or project community is that the community will feed back into the quality and usefulness of your code.
Other great ways of gaining exposure is to blog on topics - if people find your blogs useful, they will look at your other work and post it around the net for you.
