+After some debugging:
+
+It turns out that you’re fighting the Python buildpack’s “uWSGI or bust” logic: by default any Python app on Clever-Cloud must supply a CC_PYTHON_MODULE (so it can spin up uWSGI). If you remove that var, the buildpack refuses to start anything. If you set it to “none,” it tries to import a module called none under uWSGI and blows up.
+
+You have two clean ways out:
+
+— Option A: Switch to a static site app on Clever-Cloud
+— Option B: Ship your own container (Docker) and completely bypass the Python buildpack
+
+I’ll outline both. Pick the one you prefer:
+
+––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
+Option A: Use Clever-Cloud’s Static Site “Flavor”
+––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
+
+In the Clever-Cloud Console, click + New app → Static Sites
+Link it to your Git repo (same repo you’ve been pushing)
+In the “Build command” field enter:
+pip install -r requirements.txt && mkdocs build
+In the “Output Directory” field enter:
+site
+Save & deploy.
+• Clever-Cloud’s Static Sites service will run your build, then serve the site/ folder as plain static files off HTTP(S).
+• No uWSGI, no CC_PYTHON_MODULE, no hacking start scripts.
+• Logs will show the pip install, the mkdocs build, and then “serving static directory.”
+
+When it goes green, point your DNS (CNAME or A record) at the static-sites endpoint and you’re done.
+
+
+Given that 0_timeline is purely a static website whose content is auto-generated from your Forgejo repos, the path of least resistance—and the most “Cloud-native” way on Clever Cloud—is to treat it as a Static Site rather than a “Python Web” application.
+
+Here’s why and how:
+
+You have zero dynamic backend code.
+MkDocs produces a self-contained site/ folder of HTML/CSS/JS.
+Clever Cloud’s Static Site service will:
+• Run your build command,
+• Publish the site/ directory to a CDN-backed endpoint,
+• Handle SSL/DNS for you,
+• Give you automatic cache invalidation on each deploy.
+STEP BY STEP: “STATIC SITE” ON CLEVER CLOUD
+
+In the Clever Cloud console, create a new application of type Static Sites
+– Give it a name (0-timeline or similar).
+– Link it to your Git repository (the same repo you’ve been pushing).
+Configure the build:
+Build Command:
+bash
+
+Copy Code
+pip install -r requirements.txt && mkdocs build
+Output Directory:
+Code
+
+Copy Code
+site
+Commit any missing pieces to your repo:
+requirements.txt listing mkdocs + material + plugins
+mkdocs.yml + docs/ as you already have
+(No start.sh or python.json needed here)
+Push your changes:
+bash
+
+Copy Code
+git add requirements.txt
+git commit -m "Prepare for Clever Cloud Static Site: add requirements.txt"
+git push origin main
+Clever Cloud will pick it up, run pip install… && mkdocs build, then serve the site/ folder.
+Watch the deployment logs in the Static Site dashboard. You should see:
+Code
+
+Copy Code
+> pip install -r requirements.txt
+> mkdocs build
+Building documentation...
+Finished in x.xs
+Publishing site/
+When it’s “Published,” the dashboard will show your https://something.static.cleverapps.io/ URL.
+– Test it: you should see your MkDocs site live.
+– Under “Domains,” you can attach your custom domain (timeline0.org) with a CNAME record.
+BENEFITS
+
+• No fiddling with uWSGI or Python buildpacks.
+• Zero extra runtime processes—just a fast static host & CDN.
+• Automatic SSL, cache invalidation, rollbacks.
+• Works out-of-the-box with mkdocs-material’s JS/CSS bundles, search, etc.
