tjcloud's Issues

Baserow Deployment

It would be cool to just have a baserow deployment standing up for the implementations

Move to GHCR

Add Tailscale

Tailscale VPN is a great VPN service that allows me to connect all local and cloud resources together and they have a really great free personal plan.

Update FreshRSS 1.20.2

Move to DO Kubernetes

• Cloud Manager - ugly
• Study Argo CD Jobs and Deployments
• Kubesphere Control Plane
• OpenEBS for Storage

Move to Traefik Ingress instead of NGINX ingress

Modern web interface with tons of other possibilities

Migrate Mastodon to Linode Object Storage

We're nearing capacity on the main disk, so we'll do this

Upgrade Plausible to 1.5 and import Google Analytics

Upgrade NGINX Ingress Controller

Restrict GitHub Actions runs to only 1 run active

Use startup probe to get around slow RStudio container startup

Adding this to the service.yml:

    health:
      startup:
        type: http
        endpoint: "/"
        success_threshold: 1
        failure_threshold: 60
        initial_delay: 30
        period: 30

Try to find out how to do sticky sessions properly

• The current implementation with ingresses is kinda kludgey and involves code both from the ingress side and the application side.
• Need to figure out if there's a cleaner, more isolated way to do this.

Upgrade to LKE 1.24

GitPod Setup

GitPod seems like a great inexpensive service for my TJCloud. I will still keep the self hosted components but on downsized infrastructure.

• Setup ideal GitPod Docker Image
• Settings Sync?
• Open In GitPod
• Change the shell to zsh
• Preserving docker login
• Go through all GitPod documentation
• Move over environment variables
• Try to run web apps (Development Shiny instances)
• Try to add alternative editors like Pluto.jl, Jupyter, and RStudio
• Connecting to cloud66 apn
• Connecting via tailscale vpn
• Jupyter Notebook Interface with Julia Support
• Pluto.jl Notebook

keycloak_realm module should add an entry into GCP callback URLs

• {keycloak_url}/realms/{realm_name}/broker/google/endpoint to the relevant oauth2 credentials
• or maybe create the credentials onself

Nocodb deployment

Setup MiniIO

DRY up Ingress Code

Upgrade Mastodon to v4.0.2

Syncthing

Transfer to GitHub Packages

Self Hosted RSS and Email Subscriptions

To eliminate yet another subscription in my life, I'd like to explore self-hosted RSS and email subscriptions.

Liveness and readiness probes for Mastodon

For zero downtime deploys

Add Self-hosted Mastodon

With Twitter seeming like it's going to become a worse place, I want to set up a personal Mastodon instance.

Run all databases as docker images

To save on c66 costs and to provide some flexibility on the control plane.

Optimize GlusterFS

Find that old glusterFS optimization script and apply it in here

Backup Strategy

• Backing up databases
• Backing up files

How to enable Commit Signing on Code?

Security Hardening

Make sure the Linode firewall is as airtight as possible.

Incremental Publishing

• Netlify?
• Ghost integration?
