Looks like I did a bad job in explaining how it works.

So, the web frontend[0] is fully static. Just HTML and JavaScript, all the magic happens
client side.
Any webserver will do it.

The frontend operates on a JSON "database" which needs to be generated.
The current generator[1] is written on go and runs on Linux.

Every once on a while the JSON database should be generated from a more or less
recent Linux build.
e.g. once every time Linus releases a new version.
All you need is a kernel build and the tool.
The steps are documented here [2].

Of course I'm willing to adopt the web frontend to match kernel.org standards.

Thanks,
