Here you are: bluster_pic

I have six Raspberry Pi’s networked together with a shared NAS. That Coral chip is mostly for manual fun for now, but expect an interactive site later.

Blog Stack: Hugo on NGINX Docker container, with cloudfare DDoS prevention and caching.

Future Improvements

  • interactive gitlab project so people can edit this site for fun
  • Family photo site w/ secured logins
  • ability to email “observations” and have the site update itself
  • Have some swing trades running on it
  • Use the coral device interactively on the site somehow
  • Set up paragliding page to track weather at my favorite sites (or just for the Torrey classes)

Updates: You still look the same, but some major changes have happened:

Blog Stack: same as before, except container is running on k3s, replicated with it’s own service and does have TLS support

Notes on improvements:

  • I did the self-hosted gitlab for a bit, it’s just too heavy for my little pi’s. After about a month the logs filled up my memory card and at the time they were very against using a mounted volume.
  • site is on k3s!
  • TLS achieved!
  • I had it with my gitlab and pipelines, but again I decided to not redo gitlab. some kind of interactivity needs to happen though
  • family site would still be fun. some kind of app too
  • still a great idea, turns out email on kubernetes is not trivial at the moment…
  • Set up PVCs and using the NVMe volume mount
