I want something like "This could have been an email" but "This could have been a Caddy instance and static files"

Hell Git doesn't even need the Git protocol if you do `update-server-info`

It does seem mostly possible to host a Docker registry with static files and a bit of config:

I haven’t tried running this yet, but it seems worth keeping in mind. It’s relatively simple software so the idea could probably be pretty easily adapted to other situations.

I recall mentioned here ttl.sh, which as I looked it up [0], uses through Docker a CNCF project called Distribution Registry [1] which implements the core container registry functions (and appears to have additional utility, like being a pull-through cache).

1. https://distribution.github.io/distribution/

It's certainly possible with s3, so probably for any other static host https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40942732
