Enable text compressions for Codeberg Pages #223

Since Codeberg Pages only hosts static pages, I was wondering if gzip or brotli compressions could be enabled?

I vote for gzip as well.

If there are concerns about potential server hit and increased resource usage for compression on the fly, pre-compressed gzip files might be a good alternative (like educate users how to use gzip or zopfli on private computers, through documentation). Pre-compressed Brotli content might be even better.

Upvote for this issue! The alternative mentioned by @durad is also awesome, too! Also, upvote for the alternative!

It would be nice if codeberg pages supported these features just like nginx.

gzip_static on;
brotli_static on;

So users can pre compress their site at the highest compression level thus making it easier for Codeberg to host.

Hi! I would be happy to test pre-compressing brotli on-device, before pushing to the repo. How can I do this?

Also, I did not know that enabling compression on the server would increase the load. By how much? Is it that significant?

FWIW, #387 added the ability to pre-compress files and covers most of the use cases for this. It supports the three main formats browsers support: gzip, brotli, and zstd. It's not live on codeberg.page yet since I believe there would have to be a release to do that.

Not sure whether we'd ever want to support "automatic" compression, though. It feels like it would have to involve some kind of more-permanent caching of the compressed versions for performance, since a static site only needs to compress its assets once.

Figure that the maintainers can decide whether this counts as "solved" or not.

That solution is very inconvenient
