Eleventy projects served in this way will re-build on save of any file in the project. Usually, any browser viewing the page will also hot-reload on build. However, this project stopped hot-reloading a couple of weeks ago. Have not been able to diagnose why. According to some threads I found, it's a bit of a black-box with many possible causes.

Deploy to production

You can see the results locally in production mode with:

npm run build

Now, your blog is ready to be deployed. All generated files are located at _site folder, which you can deploy with any hosting service. (I use https://coolify.io/ which allows me to auto-deploy by pushing to GitLab.)
