I actually realized a few things I was missing. However, running Docker to host my services was very nice, meant I could just basically launch my programs without any fuss on an entirely separate machine within minutes! What I was missing was my atom feeds aren't checked into git due to a choice I made early on and will remedy now. + +## Up next + +Now what I have to see is how can I ensure I don't have to pay for anything while I don't need it, but can create the instance in minutes. + +I'll be checking the local configuration files into git, I've created an instance image with my cloud provider, but I have to run a test now going from 0 to 100 ro ensure this will work smoothly. + +## Fun tangent - Log retention + +Since this update was so small I wanted to follow up on the log retention, that logback, my logger, can't handle writing to a file that has been truncated. At least in the configuration I have setup. So when I enabled log retention I actually froze access logging. So I had to restart the capsule immediately after to reset the logger. I'll be looking into this to see how best I can remedy this without this bandaid. + +# Conclusion + +I am honestly, super upset at how simple this was. I knew going in it wouldn't be difficult, I've setup plenty of servers and am comfortable with my cloud provider so there weren't any unknowns... but I had hoped there would be a fun write up ... oh, well. + +=> /gemlog/ Gemlog +=> / Home diff --git a/gemini/gemlog/index.gmi b/gemini/gemlog/index.gmi index 2859a76..b81e3c0 100644 --- a/gemini/gemlog/index.gmi +++ b/gemini/gemlog/index.gmi @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ Welcome to my gemlog.
