Old school approach: only old boring tech + one bare metal server + free cloudflare

- No salt/puppet/ansible, no docker, kubernete, etc. Only standart linux stuff.

- All done with makefiles/ssh/git - Send email with Mailgun

I try to keep the dependencies as small as possible: external services, programs, libraries.

One server can serve an incredible amount of requests if you only do normal web stuff.

Login with ssh to get stats with top. Huge performance, snappy, no concern with cost.

You could do the same with a vpn

It took me quite a bit of time, and it’s not perfect. I need to set up a vpn image as a fall over if the hardware break (low probability)
