Deploying my blog with ansible

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 01:36:31 +0000

I’ve recently been making an effort to migrate my server stack to use ansible to manage everything. So I wanted to see if I could compile and deploy my blog using just ansible. (spoiler: I can)

Setting up a startpage

I made a pretty unusual setup for generating a start page. All you need is this python script, sites.yml, and index.css. I find this script makes it pretty easy for me to add new sites whenever I want. If you want to look at other examples of start pages feel free to look at r/startpages

Setting up a blog

Getting started

The first two things you will need to setup your blog is a domain name and a server (either self-hosted or a vps). I’m not going to go into depth on setting those up in the blog entry as there are many ways to do it, but I chose to buy jkeyne.dev from Namecheap and I got a server from Linode.

Hello world

Thu, 25 Jun 2020 10:34:01 +0000

Welcome to my blog. I will be posting about my various projects over time here. I have a variety of interests so expect to see anything from electrical design to code to server setup to whatever else I feel like posting.

My first few posts are going to be about how I setup my own blog along with the other services I have running on my server.
