The manual portion of that setup is pretty easy to deal with and is quite well documented on the DO side of things. In Name Cheap’s UI it looks something like this. Next it’s time to spin up a Kubernetes cluster and actually put attach something to the domains. https://thenextbug.com/posts/donotbuild2/ Fri, 23 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://thenextbug.com/posts/donotbuild2/ Recap In the last article, we went through a subset of the technologies involved in this project: Let’s Encrypt Terraform Kubernetes Digital Ocean Github We also setup some very basic Terraform files to get connected to Digital Oceans API. If it wasn’t fully clear from that last post, this is not meant to be a tutorial on how to build out an extremely over/under engineered blog running in Kubernetes. It’s mostly meant as a recap of what was built, and why you probably should do this in the first place. https://thenextbug.com/posts/donotbuild/ Sun, 18 Oct 2020 10:36:24 -0500 https://thenextbug.com/posts/donotbuild/ The Idea A few weeks back, I took a look at my personal hosting account and came to a realization. While I have the skills I’d need to maintain a server and the Wordpress instance that I had running on it, I really didn’t want to that fight with keeping everything upgraded. My main web head was still running Ubuntu 14.04 and I really wasn’t in the mood to go through all the rigmarole needed to upgrade it. https://thenextbug.com/about/ Fri, 16 Oct 2020 11:59:33 -0500 https://thenextbug.com/about/ There’s always another one isn’t there? Another bug, another feature, always something over the horizon that needs to be fixed or built. The moment there isn’t your project is effectively dead. That’s just the way it works. That’s where the idea for this site came from. Well, the name of it anyway. We’ll just have to see where that takes it. One warning, most of the content on this site is written in a “stream of consciousness” still with minimal reworking or editing.
