My site is also statically generated from templates I keep in a private git repo hosted on github I keep local backups of, but I do the generating directly on the server. I just pull the site and generate it manually whenever I do an update. I like the sound of your setup better thanks for the pointers!

Thanks for the tip I'll definitely take a look! That's not bad at all and I prefer yearly payments.
That's not bad at all gonna have to check it out. I host my site on digital ocean it's on the smallest single core 1gb ram droplet. I run crowdsec and nginx and a couple other little things and it sits around 40% ram usage. Costs 6$ a month and I added 4 weeks worth of automatic weekly backups for $1.50 a month.
I can deal with $7.50 for a little static web server.
They do offer a free $200/60 day credit if you get in with one of the free Linux Foundation cloud classes which is plenty to play with.
Just came here to say you could always look for alternative projects that have this built in as well. I'm not sure what logs you as looking at, but it might be best to contribute or request this feature directly for the software.
For example I use crowdsec and they have a button on the logs pages that will anonymize the entire page and is great for taking screenshots.
I agree with another poster that getting something to work with a number of different logs would be a huge undertaking and unrealistic for most solo devs. I do think asking whatever project could be a start. I'd love if journalctl and syslogd etc had a flag to anonymize the log output.
Personally often times I just open the screenshot in gimp and pixelate out the areas I want hidden, but that's not an automated solution.
I second this. I run fedora on my desktop and debian on the server. Docker works great on debian as well.
Thanks that's good to learn!
My main OS (debian) ssd started throwing Io errors this Friday night and I had to work Saturday, only image I had laying around was Fedora Kinoite. So that's what I'm running until I order a new drive. I'm getting my wife a new laptop soon and was considered silverblue (she's a Mac user but very quick with tech in general).
Anyway after using it a few days, I think when I get my new drive I might just go ahead and put Kinoite on it. I'm used to running my dev stuff in containers anyway and toolbox makes it super easy. Rpm-ostree is a breeze (though it takes a minute to build on this ancient USB hdd, I'm replacing my dieing SSD with an nvme so I don't foresee the ostree builds as being an issue).
I think immutable is absolutely the way forward, especially for less computer literate folks. It will keep them more protected and if they do mess up something the rollback is a breeze.
I saw it put really well the other day. Any software has in general a set number of bugs per lines of code. Something like Debian the number of bugs goes down after release as only bugfixes occur, while anything constantly moving like a rolling release, is certain to grow in number of bugs as the less tested newer software (which generally includes more loc) is pushed. There are tradeoffs to both methods, and edge cases of course.
I'd suggest one of the fedora atomic installs, maybe even get a couple renewed Thinkpads all set up, one with kde and one with gnome and let them play with them for a few days. I was the only engineer in my company that ran Linux and the bosses only concession was that I carry a windows PC too when he was onsite with me so he'd understand what I was doing, but he provided a nice one for me so I never complained.
I second the people that said lineage OS. I am using it right now. I got this Nord phone because I knew they were easy to tinker with. I used it a bit and ended up with a newer galaxy. Well after I put lineage on the Nord every problem it had went away. Excellent battery life, runs smoothly, weekly security patches if I want etc. One thing that helped a lot was the "Aurora" app store. Let's you install apps anonymously from the play store without requiring google services. Many of them won't work due to the no google services, but a surprising amount of stuff does just fine even if it complains about it.
I had no idea it was standard. I had heard they had issues with it not being able to handle certain constructs so they were working on getting it to a place it would perform better. Has this changed? I'm not a rust person, but I intend to be. I've barely made it 1/4th way into the book (just started in the past month and I've been busy), but I have a good background in programming and so far it's been super easy. I'm really enjoying how specific the compiler is, and the binary sizes vs Go.
I wasn't aware of the Github pages being free that's neat. It is fully static (running on nginx but generated with hugo) and I use freedns.afraid.org for the domains. Good to know thanks for the tip :)
