I see you stumbled into my little corner of the internet. The site you are viewing was built with WordPress (because wordpress is awesome) and is hosted on a personal VM on Digital Ocean. I used a modified LAMP stack (Linux, NginX, MySQL, PHP+PHP-FPM) to host the site so I can leverage NginX’s load balancing capabilities and PHP FPM’s request pooling to speed up response times. The whole process has allowed me to learn how to configure a load balancer and web server through NginX, how to cache requests via Php-fpm, how to back up my infrastructure with Terraform, and various other server management aspects like security, inter-process communication, and networking.

What am I up to?

I am currently setting up a Raspberry Pi compute cluster so I can host several game servers for my friends and family to use (Project Zomboid and V Rising if you are curious) along with an on-prem web server. I managed to use power-over-ethernet for my raspberry PIs and am preparing a reverse-proxy for incoming traffic. If you’d like to see my favourite learning resources, you can check the Resources page to see a list of excellent content creators, authors, and books that have helped me find my way through the vast ocean of knowledge that is ‘Devops’. Thanks for stopping by!
