Blog

Got to playing with Owncast over the weekend and found that it’s actually a nice alternative to big-name streaming services. It actually doesn’t cost as much as I had expected to run, and the content is served via a global CDN. It’s been a long time since I’ve written a post. Far too long… Not going to lie, have been slightly distracted by a lot of things this year, corona being one of them.

There are a number of ways that one can deploy a website; a completely automated deployment was my goal, and this is how I achieved it. I have two separate hosting solutions for this project, one for staging, and one for production. Staging, I host at home, with nginx, and production is hosted on S3. The tools I have chosen are GitLab CI and Deployer for PHP. Gitlab CI GitLab CI is a really nice addition to GitLab.

This is my first blog post, and I thought why not, a fitting subject would be using Hugo to run my static site. And when I say first post, I really mean first. I’ve never written posts before, so this is relatively new to me :)
