From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use CI to compile the page and add it to nginx, which I then build into a docker container. Once it's finished, I deploy it to my server and it gets served by traefik.

That's another thing I was curious about. Is there a reason why you didn't use docker?

You mentioned in another comment, that you used snap, because it is used in the official certbot instructions. Did you intend this to be 100% faithful to official docs?

Nice. I might have to clone that setup for fun. What do you use for CI? I've got jenkins running but I've been wanting to play with gitlab CI/CD too.

I do a lot of my dev work in docker containers, simply so I'm in a clean environment. Doesn't hurt in ease of backup either. No particular reason not to use docker, I also wanted to keep it kind of brief and simple. The guide I originally read that inspired me had a lot of things that were very outdated, and as I worked through getting it working on debian 12 I generally stuck with the source providers instructions when things weren't already packaged for dpkg, or alternatives were more complex.

I am currently mulling around doing extensions on this guide and adding links at the bottom, or just extending this one a bit. Also just thinking about writing a guide for other stuff too. I've been helping people on discord and irc a bit recently and some of what I know might be useful to someone.

I don't know everything by any means far from it, but I've been around since my first beOS and slackware installs a long time ago and I've picked up a lot. I worked developing and deploying pfsense images for a company years ago and have just had a lot of random experience in linux and bsds over the years.

For CI I currently use GitLab, but I want to move it to another git server (and therefore CI) in case they actually sell.

😱 I had no idea. I just went and read through that wow. I hope they don't sell to someone scummy.
