Site Update

More Updates!

I think I have finally figured out this theme framework and the way that things take overrides.

Updates have been in the following places:

  • css formatting mods
  • new font installed
  • base fonts updated

New Site

The new site is live!

I have finally jumped into learning a new web architecture/framework. This site is based off the JAMStack model.

We’re using a number of technologies on this site at the moment:

Infrastructure:

  • self hosted kubernetes cluster
    • 5 nodes RPi Hardware cluster
    • External NAS Storage
    • containerd based oci backend
    • linkerd enabled sidecars for observability and monitoring
    • Prometheus, Grafana, Loki stack for dashboards
    • MetalLB loadbalancing and routing
    • SSL/TLS via Let’s Encrypt using cert-manager
    • FluxCD for GitOps
  • hardware loadbalancer using RPi4 running haproxy (DMZ routing)
  • oci-compliant multiarch images built via using docker buildx from CircleCI pipeline

Website:

  • hugo page generator
  • beautiful hugo theme
  • bootstrap js
  • fontawesome
  • DART SASS
