did quite a bit of Caddy Redirect research to sketch out a plan to migrate some static websites

got my personal website (nathanwailes.com/, just an index.html) working on a new $4/mo DO droplet that I intend to move everything over to while switching backends from Python to Go, nginx is way easier than Apache so far. Switched my personal site to use GitHub version control.

#life Clean out old webserver that used to host client projects but now only hosts one friends website

configure nginx to serve uploads #wobaka

🤔 debating moving most of my GitHub Pages projects to a dedicated DO slice after reading jvns.ca/blog/2022/01/24/hosti…

install & configure caddy web server for potential nginx replacement

configure caddy to host website (local vagrant box test only so far) #blip

figuring out caddy server to finish off a project

Able to ssh into my new Digital Ocean droplet with my new 'nathan' user; installed nginx; updated my Cloudflare DNS records for my domains to point to my new droplet; deleted unused subdomains and old MX/TXT/CNAME records; confirmed a 'Hello World' index.html site served by nginx is working.

🍕 used redirect.pizza to redirect some old domains to my jekyll website #mylife

Moved main app & website out of Fly.io due to another random deployment issue. No desire to troubleshoot it any further so just moved to Hetzner.

#contracting Setup nginx config etc for last remaining site

Move all SaaS to nginx & use puppet for config mgmt

Upload back up website for old client #random

move more static sites to netlify

Got my personal website (nathanwailes.com) being served by Netlify after destroying the Digital Ocean droplet that was hosting it (just an index.html file)...got the welcome YouTube video working again, I guess YouTube requires some new iframe attrs now before it'll allow it to be played...bought a new domain (wailesgroup.com) for $10 and set it up on Netlify with a copy of my nw.com domain, I'm thinking of trying to start doing cold-emailing to get work as an agency / remote-worker management consultancy b/c I think the current agency I'm working for is billing my time at a way higher rate than I'm getting paid...spent a few minutes thinking about and adding Jira tickets for what I should work on next for that project (not today)...spent some time studying the [hnjobs GitHub repo][1] to see how it worked, to use it as a stepping stone towards automating applying to HN jobs...spent some more time thinking about trying to do interviews with YouTubers, I'm now thinking it may not be so useful, as I don't have a product I'm trying to sell right now, it's unlikely to have any lasting impact, and it would probably be a one-time thing...

Setup Caddy for the new site. (So fast!) #contracting

Replaced my image hosting, after having used Google Drive as my CDN #sleekui

built up a proxy for one of my websites to fall back on a static copy (using Jekyll to start) so that I don't break any pages or anything that won't be obvious.

🚜 moving #conf website from gitlab to github. still have to figure out a docker registry
