  • cloud-media-requests

    Deploy a media request site, which communicates with a remote media server, on AWS

    Learn Packer, AWS AMI/EC2, Docker, VPN, Terraform, and Ansible by exploring this GitHub project and deploying it yourself to learn how each thing works. That project uses CI to do everything automatically. Try to break down what is happening at each step of the way and do it manually yourself. For example, manually run the Packer commands to create the AMI. Customize your own AMI.

  • Windows Terminal

    The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

    Install chocolatey and then run choco install microsoft-windows-terminal in Powershell to install Windows Terminal. Configure Windows Terminal to launch Ubuntu when you startup.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • jekyll-now

    Build a Jekyll blog in minutes, without touching the command line.

    I was doing the above at first but then when I was looking at themes for my Jekyll site I found a way easier method. You can just fork this repo on Github: (https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now).

  • pages-gem

    A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages

    For hosting I initially just used Github pages, which is completely free. (https://pages.github.com/) But I wanted to take it further, so I bought a domain on porkbun and just got a website like everyone else, "firstnameLastname.com". I created an Azure Static Web App (which is also free for the amount of bandwidth I'll be using) which pulls changes automatically from my Github repo (really fuckin cool). Then I just setup the custom domain for my web app.
