The site is currently served using nginx. As far as I can tell, we just
haven't gotten around to switching over to OpenBSD's httpd.

To be completely frank, quark is a tool for a very limited scope, and
I've been battling with certain aspects for quite a while. It's good
for quickly hosting something from the command line, but lacks in other
aspects.

On OpenBSD, I would even recommend its httpd over quark in most cases.

It's as simple as

        quark > log

and a daily cron for log-rotation that amounts to

        mv log log.2022-08-16

or something (fired daily at midnight, the date of course generated on
the fly for the filename).

With best regards
