# TJCloud



> This is my personal cloud - for hobby programming, personal projects,

> and experiments.



## Key Technologies



I’m leaning on the following core technologies:



- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io) (and [Terraform

  Cloud](https://app.terraform.io/) or [Github

  Actions](https://github.com/features/actions)) for provisioning

  infrastructure as code

- [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) for orchestrating various

  workloads

- [NGINX Ingress](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/) for

  exposing web services to the web from the cluster

- [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes) as my

  main Kubernetes provider, while using block storage container storage

  interface for persistent storage.

- [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com) for DNS, TLS, and origin

  server protection.

- [Cloudflare

  Access](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/zero-trust/access/) for

  zero-trust access

- [GitHub Packages](https://github.com/features/packages) as my main

  image registry.



### Previous Technologies



These are tech that I’ve retired from my personal cloud:



- [Linode](https://linode.com), due to an ominous acquisition by Akamai

  and a price increase despite no feature parity with

  [DigitalOcean](https://digitalocean.com) to which I have moved.

  - [Linode Kubernetes

    Engine](https://www.linode.com/products/kubernetes/), a simple,

    developer-friendly, and inexpensive cloud provider for managed

    Kubernetes, and

  - [Linode Object

    Storage](https://www.linode.com/products/object-storage/) for

    storing data files

- Self-hosted stack for user management and authentication of itnernal

  services, replaced by [Cloudflare

  Access](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/zero-trust/access/)

  - [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org) for identity and access

    management

  - [OAuth2 Proxy](https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/oauth2-proxy/) as main

    gateway to protect private services

- Self-hosted stack for image building, replaced by [GitHub

  Actions](https://actions.github.com)

  - [Kaniko](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko) for

    building images inside a Kubernetes cluster



## Applications



I host the following applications:



- my personal coding and writing environment from

  [code-server](https://github.com/coder/code-server) that allows me to

  develop on the cloud, with any device (including iPads and

  chromebooks!). Some additional mods features are:

  - Protected domains (https://\.\) to test web apps

    running on the server or for exposing environments like Jupyter or

    Pluto

  - Custom web fonts through an NGINX sub_filter

  - Python, Julia, JS, and R installations for the confused data person



### Disabled Applications



The code is still in the repo, but is no longer in active use:



- [PGAdmin](https://www.pgadmin.org), an excellent open source

  administration console for PostgreSQL

- [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org) - my own personal Mastodon server

  for interacting with the Fediverse (open source Twitter but less

  annoying virality and more useful, insightful content)

- [FreshRSS](https://freshrss.org) - feed reading service, I read using

  [Reeder](https://reederapp.com) on iOS and Mac.

- [Kill the Newsletter](https://github.com/leafac/kill-the-newsletter) -

  A self-hosted, secure version of [Kill the

  Newsletter](https://kill-the-newsletter.com) for managing newsletters

  and feeding them into FreshRSS.

- [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) for my main database

- [Clickhouse](https://clickhouse.com) as a requirement for Plausible

  Analytics, storing clickstream data

- [Redis](https://redis.io) as a requirement for Mastodon, but also for

  general caching in the development server

- [Plausible Analytics](https://plausible.io) for hosting

  privacy-friendly website analytics

- the [Kubernetes Dashboard](https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard)

  for administering the cluster, and

  [metrics-server](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server)

  for collecting data to present in the dashboard.
