chrooted.host is the companion site for the @chrootedhost YouTube channel. It introduces terminal-first Linux, security, and networking tutorials with a narrow promise: hands-on demos, real commands, and no filler.
The implementation matches that product shape. The site uses Astro static output, Tailwind CSS, local assets, an episode list from JSON, RSS feed support, sitemap output, llms.txt, Open Graph metadata, and structured data for the site, FAQ, and queued tutorials.
The first public version is honest about state. Episodes are marked as queued, the YouTube and RSS paths are visible, and the privacy page says the site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics without cookies, accounts, forms, or visitor-side YouTube requests for the subscriber count.
Problem
The project needed a focused companion site for the @chrootedhost YouTube channel that could quickly explain the channel, support search visibility for Linux/security/networking tutorials, and avoid fake live episode claims before publishing starts.
Action
Build a terminal-native Astro 7 and Tailwind CSS 4 static site with shell-style sections, queued episode data, RSS and YouTube calls to action, sitemap/robots/llms.txt output, structured data, accessible reduced-motion behavior, and privacy wording for Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Outcome
The live site at chrooted.host presents a single-page tutorial landing page, queued Linux/SSH/networking episode topics, RSS and YouTube links, and a privacy page that states there are no cookies, accounts, forms, or app-owned personal data collection.
