Hello World!

To the 1st post of my 3rd iteration personal blog.

Hello World! To the 1st post of my 3rd iteration of my personal blog.

TLDR
The goals of this “A Blog Post About a Blog….” series are:

  •                Ubuntu Setup
  •                Fail2Ban
  •                SSH
  •                Self – Hosted Word Press Install
  •                Database Setup
  •                Let’s Encrypt HTTPS Setup
  •                AWS Route53 self DNS
  •                Two Step Authentication
  •                Captcha usage
  •                User Discussion Self-Subscription authentication
  •                Auto Backup Scripting Cron Job
  •                Auto Update Scripting Cron Job
  •                Auto Backup/Migration Testing
  •                Auto Monitoring/Analytics
  •                Reverse Proxy
  •                Enterprise SSO integration
  •                Theoretical Implementation of Cloud based Scalability.

I have previously had 2 self-hosted blogs that were hacked. After the first hack, I essentially started creating an offline version of post before posting onto the second Iteration. After I killed the second instance, I just continued with my offline document blog. Fast forward a few years and I have tons of content, but as time has gone on a lot of the information has become out of date. The point of this place is to share and cultivate information in a similar way that it was shared with me. Because of this I started getting the itch to get this going again. This 3rd version includes switching to WordPress and an Ubuntu server Host.

Being as I am currently posting, some of this has been completed, but I will try to go back through from the start. Along the way I will generate other post that cover more of the fundamentals that I will try to link into these post. If we complete all of the above, we will have covered most everything that we would need to Self-Host a business’s website.

There will be a bit of date jumping as I am going to back date as much of the content that I currently have. So, this series can be expected to take a year or so to complete, being as some of the above-mentioned objectives don’t actually have currently implementable solutions or tech has changed.

Well I have been working on getting this blog up and running for the past two days. I want to get started on my next post, which has nothing to do with the above. Haha. Ill be back on this subject shortly.

Next post will be a Wi-Fi networked weather station with multiple Sensor and Display nodes, which accesses a “from scratch” built web app and Phone app, along with camera and weather data being uploading to Weather Underground.

Welcome to the Chaos in my head 😉
