A couple years ago, I moved from Google Voice to custom infrastructure .  That system used XMPP to send SMS.  Now that I've moved from XMPP ...

There are many different resources:

Basics:

• Archwiki Basics: Creating Packages
• Archwiki Developerwiki: Building in a clean chroot -- useful for building on normal machine, not as useful for cicd/docker development
• Archlinux base docker image official (160mb)
• Pacman basics: Using a custom (local) repository

PKGBUILD and Archrepo explanation:

• 3 parter: Hosting arch repos on s3, managing archlinux with metapackages, creating a custom installer
  • example repo of archpkgs
  • example archlinux install script
  • very basic example pkgbuild
• additional advanced ways of building replicating metapkgs
• older article: building packages on linux
• older article: creating an archlinux repository

PKGBUILD examples:

• extensive example archrepo on github
• another example archrepo

CI/CD:

• extensive automated builds -- fetching from different repositories and automatically hosting on gitlab pages (very useful resource); awesome documentation
• more minimal setup -- using 1 repository for packages; mainly bash building, does not deploy a gitlab pages repo (can be adapted from above link); nicely documented
• in-between -- look at ci-library.sh/ci-build.sh; more well-established practices than repo above; but almost-nonexistent documentation

Reading Time: 5 minutes Git’s push --force is destructive because it unconditionally overwrites the remote repository with whatever you have locally, possibly overwriting any changes that…

version controlled data storage (using mongodb, mysql or other underlying data storage) -- like git for data (with commits, checkouts, branches, pulls, pushes etc)

Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero dependencies. https:

Problem:

• hetzner is cheap, but only supplies 20GB SSD space; its storage is block-storage and relatively pricey (~5€ for 50gb)

• nextcloud works with object storage -- we can get much cheaper storage solutions through this

• Wasabi is a cheap object storage solution (1TB for 5€)

• Contabo is a cheap VPS hosting solution (faster than hetzner, 4core cpu, 8gb ram and 200gb ssd for 4,99€; or 300gb hdd for 3,99 w/2cores,4g ram)

• Migrate over to contabo + wasabi

• Rosetta Code -- Code Problem repository; from simple to hard with solutions for many languages
• Project Euler -- Code Problem repository; generally a bit harder, more algorithm-focused than Rosetta
• Exercism -- mentor-based code exercises. You send in problem solutions via cli, and a mentor can check them and give tips to you. FOSS
• CodeWars -- 'compete' against others in exercises; you send in solutions and people can vote on how successful (or elegant) your solution is

• Dokku -- really small quick and painless setup, single instance hosting, get up running in minutes and deploy containerized apps with simple git push. Awesome for tiny to small projects.
• Flynn -- slightly bigger and more involved, can scale to multiple servers by creating its own cluster, interaction is similar to dokku (i think) -- DEAD
• Rack -- most similar to heroku, I am not sure if complete self-hosting is possible; but follows simple deployment model and allows full use of 12factor apps
• Porter -- built for Kubernetes, seems more involved not sure about corporate backing or community involvement

Proper project management with Taskwarrior in vim. - tbabej

Safe and simple one-script git synchronization.

Idea is continuous history (a la gopass git) -- it's not a pretty history, but it automatically syncs on filechanges.
