After two weeks, I decided to take a little break. I have not started the computer after work on Friday and until now. I am, in fact, writing this on my ipad ;) So a little break we I could read, rest, sleep, relax a bit. Tomorrow, I’ll have to find a subject as did had some ideas during the weekend :D

Finishing my linode deployment - Part2

2022-09-15 HUGO zilberd

Yesterday I left with rsync not working. I realized that I forgot to add the public key to my local user on the vm….

After adding it, generating in old RSA mode, it didn’t solve the issue.

I decided to fall back into using rsync directly on the runner.
I can’t really say if this is safe compare to running it inside the container of the action.

I used this method before, as described by Zell and it worked well.

Finishing my linode deployment - Part1

2022-09-14 HUGO zilberd

I would like to finalize the linode deployment:

  • have a proper caddy configuration (maybe integrated with CloudFlare)
  • have a process to push hugo files to the server, first generate the site there and restart caddy
  • then building them in Github actions and only pushing an artifact there.

I will try to follow what Alex did on his blog Alexsgardian. Just found it at the start of this hour.
Should be of great help ;)

Some findings

2022-09-13 Findings zilberd

Today no real content but just some interesting topics I found online and have started to look at:

My new coffee machine: the Aeropress

I fell into the rabbit hole of the specialty coffees. Now with the Aeropress I am measuring temperature, weight and brewing time. There is even a championship !

The coffee taste so different from my automatic machine ! As I have reduced my consumption to 1cup per day, I decided to have the best possible and not an average one !

Today I discovered Caddy !

I want to publish the hugo site in another way.
HUGO has a very powerful server but I was looking at another way with added function like TLS.

My initial though was to use NGINX to publish the static pages that would be generated during a build.

Turns out that there is the equivalent written in GO that I have never heard about.

This is Caddy, a zeroSSL project.

What do I use Cloudflare for ?

2022-09-10 Tips zilberd

Until end of last year, I was having , what I thought was, a very simple DNS setup.
A was paying a public registar for a domain, in my case OVHCloud, then I would delegate to Azure and to Google DNS some subdomain starting by azure or google.

It has lots of advantages as I could easily manage those DNS from the respective portal or console.

Now CloudFlare is at a central place of my setup:

  • Registar
  • Cache
  • DNS server + DNSSEC + IP masking
  • SSL/TLS management
  • WAF
  • DDOS
  • and more like mTLS for added security
