How to setup a practically free CDN using Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,

Deploying Laravel on a shared hosting using only .htaccess

Making Laravel work on a shared hosting can be troublesome, because Laravel needs to have its document root set to the public directory. This may not be configurable by a user or even desirable, when the server is hosting multiple websites.

Here's a simple method using only a .htaccess file placed in Laravel's root directory - e.g. alongside app, bootstrap, config, ... No changes whatsoever are necessary to your code.

The file rewrites all the requests so that requesting /file.png would in fact return /public/file.png and anything else is routed to /public/index.php. This also ensures that nothing outside the public folder can be accessed, thereby protecting any sensitive files like .env or database/*.

The simple method

webview.loadUrl("<your html file>"); //not in scope of this gist
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url){   
        //Here you want to use .loadUrl again 
        //on the webview object and pass in 
        //"javascript:<your javaScript function"
        webview.loadUrl("javascript:myJavaScriptFunc('" + argumentPassingIn + "')"); //if passing in an object. Mapping may need to take place
