I've been a self-hoster for a while. The adventure started with regular mani-pc manufactured by HP. 32G of RAM, Intel gen 10, and 1T HDD drive. However, as long as it was a great experience at the beginning, with time it became a challenge. My stack was built with portainer and a bunch of docker-compose files. It leads …

At the beginning of September, I saw a post from Johannes Koch about self-hosting CodeCommit alternative. Then I realized, that I'm using my home, not such a popular, but very nice and solid git repository system. To be more precise, much more than a git server. Let's welcome OneDev. Git server with CI/CD, kanban, and …

This post will be different, than usual. It will be soft, flexible, and with late summer vibes. Please stop coding, deploying, or whatever is important you're doing. That will be the most helpful post you will read today! Let's talk about being old, or more correctly about seniority. What will distinguish you as a …

Yesterday I decided to solve another, probably non-existent problem. So for quite a long time, I was looking for a solution that would allow me to schedule meetings with friends, family, and clients (the custom domain looks very professional). Most of them are paid every month. Which in my case is not a very …

If you have read my latest post about accessing RHEL in the cloud, you may notice that we’re accessing the cockpit console, via SSM Session manager port forwarding. That’s not an ideal solution. I’m not talking in bed, it’s just not ideal(but cheap). Today I realised that using Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser could be …

While writing a post about setting up Keycloak, which should be live this month(it's a bit harder, than I thought), I decided that it would be great to use my custom domain and play with it as well. As having sso.3sky.in looks cool, also unexpectedly it’s quite cheap. But why do I need it? It’s like 10$ per domain. Yes …

Let’s talk about basic IT operations included in the everyday tasks range. For example, accessing VMs. As you may realize (or not) - not everyone is using immutable infrastructure. Especially when their core business isn’t IT, and they are a bit bigger than 2-pizza team. That is why today we will talk about accessing …

Looks like I have 10 days to create 2 blog posts. To be open, it’s another attempt to become a creator, who makes at least 12 posts per year. Also, I decided, to make my write-ups a bit shorter and focused on one particular topic. That is why, today I will show you how to migrate existing Cloudflare configuration into …

Great that you're here. Today, I will write a bit about Event-Driven Ansible and its possibilities for improving the operational efficiency of our AWS environment. But wait, what does it mean by Event-Driven Ansible? My favorite sentence from the documentation is "EDA provides a way of codifying operational logic," so …

Once again I have a goal, write every month at least one article. Sounds easy, but unfortunately for me, it is not. The idea behind this blog is to write content that will be helpful for me(and hopefully for my readers as well). For example, when I need basic Nginx configuration I used to open this post from 2021. Now …
