Here is the minimal flow that keeps the origin server simple:

1. Push changes or new Markdown.
2. GitHub Actions runs npm ci && npm run build.
3. Upload dist/ to /var/www/portfolio on the domestic server via rsync or scp.
4. Nginx serves the static directory—no Node runtime, no database.

Astro ships zero-JS by default, which keeps first paint tiny even on slow networks. With content living in the repo, I can author Markdown or MDX locally, preview instantly via npm run dev, then publish via GitHub Actions without touching the server.

The build output is just HTML / CSS / JS under dist/, so the domestic server only needs Nginx + rsync to serve the files.

Key guardrails I use:

• Keep layout/components in src/ and content in src/content/.
