It had been a steady host for years, but my initial plans to migrate from Ubuntu to CentOS7 a while back were never really completed. Centos8 is the new goodness, and I must say it was mostly a real pleasure to set up via DigitalOcean. <p>As 2020 seems like a good year to get stuff done that has otherwise been neglected, I finally migrated my setup off a very old DigitalOcean droplet.

Centos8 is the new goodness, and I must say it was mostly a real pleasure to set up via DigitalOcean.</p> <p>In my work at Varnish Software I liked to &ldquo;dogfood&rdquo; our products and technology, to learn and constantly flex some configuration muscles. So the old stack on <a href="https://denis.no">denis.no</a> was influenced by this and consisted of:</p> <pre tabindex="0"><code> --------- | Hitch | (TLS termination) --------- | ----------- | Varnish | (Caching and routing) ----------- | --------- | Nginx | (File serving) --------- </code></pre><p>In addition to Nginx, I had a bunch of smaller daemons that were directly fronted by Varnish, including <a href="https://gitea.io/">Gitea</a>, <a href="https://github.com/espebra/filebin">Filebin</a> and other misc services.</p> <p>As the need for dogfooding isn&rsquo;t there anymore, and convenience outweighs most other factors these days, I&rsquo;ve now reduced that stack to:</p> <pre tabindex="0"><code> ---------- | Caddy2 | (TLS termination, file serving and routing) ---------- </code></pre><p>I still have a couple of smaller services left which are set up with <code>reverse_proxy</code> in Caddy. Installing Caddy2 was almost too easy, and it involved ditching hundreds of lines of configuration for a very neat and consise <code>Caddyfile</code>.</p> <p>The documentation for Caddy2 was pretty good, and made the process of migrating relatively quick and painless. I always wanted the super-neat LetsEncrypt cert integration, and that worked out just as well as I expected.</p> https://d.enis.no/2020/06/rebooting-the-blog/ Sun, 21 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://d.enis.no/2020/06/rebooting-the-blog/ The major content platforms of 2020 are all pretty horrible, so it seems like a good time as any to reboot personal web publishing, as a micro contribution to taking back the web. Thanks to Marcus for inspiring this, and for having good ideas about making publishing small posts easy on the go. I exported the handful of Wordpress posts and have now gotten Hugo to work pretty well. Let&rsquo;s see how many posts I manage to do this time ;) <p>The major content platforms of 2020 are all pretty horrible, so it seems like a good time as any to reboot personal web publishing, as a micro contribution to <a href="https://indieweb.org/">taking back the web</a>.
