This is my first post on the phlogospher, look at me mah! No hands! | |
Seriously, though, maybe I'll keep this blog up. My main frustration with b | |
in the past was the interface required to publish posts, just aweful. I've | |
tried my hand at blogging using markdown via hugo on the www but it was | |
still cumbersome. Maybe that was just my implementation, though. | |
Being who I am I thought it would be fun to have it run in a container on | |
CoreOS. I had nice scripts around it and used terraform to tear down and | |
rebuild and deploy an entirely new container image every time I updated my | |
blog. This was fun, don't get me wrong. There's definitely something there | |
The idea that, as long as I keep my blog updated regularly, I don't have to | |
worry about security patches was really very appealing. The real hangup cam | |
from Terraform I think. I kept the whole thing on github so I could write | |
and update the blog from multiple computers but Terraform never really did | |
that too well. Always had problems with updating the files on the remote | |
end without logging in to the VPS manually and deleting the VM images that | |
the thing was running on. Terraform should have handled all of that but to | |
do that it maintains a statefile and that statefile was never synchronized | |
via the git repository correclty... or something. | |
So here's to my next attempt. May it be simple enough to keep me writing. |
