simple deploys

random notes on doing a simple deploy for my own servers

cooked options

• docker compose
• dokku
• kamal

requirements

• cheap server
• caddy
• systemd/initd

New Server

• create a new user
• create ssh key
• lock down incoming access
• clone utils repo and run make
• ulimit -n unlimited
• run deploy
• set up an A record for the domain
• create caddyfile (/etc/caddy/Caddyfile)
• add service for caddy

Simplest

• push to git
• script checks for changes
• build binary
• swap into bin dir
• restart init.d service (make sure caddy holds requests)
• .backup for db backups on cron

Snippets

Example Caddyfile. Remove health related settings if not needed

avocadish.xyz {
  encode gzip
  reverse_proxy * localhost:9001
  tls your@email.com
}

plants.avocadish.xyz {
  encode gzip
  reverse_proxy * localhost:9002
  tls your@email.com
}
