Building My Personal Website: From Idea to Automated Deployment (Part 2)

1. terraform-hcloud-network

   1 2 1 3.9 HCL

   Terraform module for managing Hetzner Cloud networks, subnets, and routes.

   

   The first piece of infrastructure we need is a private network. For this, I created the terraform-hcloud-network module.

3. terraform-hcloud-firewall

   2 2 1 3.9 HCL

   Terraform module for managing Hetzner Cloud firewalls.

   

   For this, I created the terraform-hcloud-firewall module. It supports:

4. terraform-hcloud-ssh-key

   3 2 0 4.6 HCL

   Terraform module for managing Hetzner Cloud SSH keys.

   

   Before creating the server, we need an SSH key for authentication. I created the terraform-hcloud-ssh-key module for this purpose.

5. terraform-hcloud-server

   4 2 1 4.6 HCL

   Terraform module for managing Hetzner Cloud servers.

   

   Finally, let's create the server itself using the terraform-hcloud-server module. Like the others, it's designed to be flexible and supports:

6. ansible-hugo-deploy

   5 2 2 4.0 Jinja

   Ansible collection for automated Hugo static site deployment with custom Caddy web server, Cloudflare DNS integration, rate limiting, and automated SSL on Rocky Linux 10.

   

   Now let's look at bootstrapping the actual website. For this, I'm using an Ansible collection that I also created and published publicly: ansible-hugo-deploy.

7. cloudflare

   6 12 979 4.2 Go

   Caddy module: dns.providers.cloudflare

   

   Since I'm using Cloudflare with proxy enabled, the standard Caddy build isn't enough for automatic certificate provisioning. I need the caddy-dns/cloudflare module to pass the DNS-01 ACME challenge for certificate verification.

8. caddy-ratelimit

   7 8 485 4.1 Go

   HTTP rate limiting module for Caddy 2

   

   Since I'm already building a custom Caddy binary, I decided to add another useful module — caddy-ratelimit for rate limiting protection against bots and scanners.
